Ba Xr6t Mk1 Or Ba Mk2 Xr6 Na?

[BonScottstar]

Hey, howsit going?

Thinking its time to upgrade from the xg xr6, so tossing up my options

Contemplating between a BA mk1 xr6T or a mk2 xr6 na (hopefully with prem sound)

I'll be leaving them both essentially mechanically stock (short of possibly a bov or a bigger intercooler for the T), but I've heard bad things from the box in the T.

Which leaves me to my question, would I be better off getting a T or a mk2 n/a? Don't particularly want to be living with my hand in the pocket with box/diff repairs....

is that a serious question.....???

if your gonna leave it stock anyway, just buy a t in good nick, stock will give you no problems, if you treat it nice...

As long as you get the auto in the MK1 and stay clear of the 5 speed manual you should be right.

Hey mate,

I have owned a BFI 2006 NA XR6 and a 2004 BAI XR6T, and there is no question...

The T is a far superior car. I found that it drives nicer, handles better and is all around a 'tighter' car. Not too mention faster - Waaaaaay Faster. Everything is better. Just get a custom tune and you'll see what I mean. It SUCH an improvement over stock, you can't live without it.

Get the T mate - no question...

Either box in a BAI will be not that flash - Either auto or manual. Treat it nice and don't run huge power through it and you should be fine.

save up a little longer and get a ba mk2 6spd manual.

the used car prices are coming down real quick!

If its a manual you want, save and buy the 6 speed.

If you want an auto.. Mk1 and Mk2 are pretty much the same so just grab a Mk1

Well that was a far quicker response then I've had from other forums, thankyou

Yeh it was a serious question, nice way to make me feel a bit dumb onboost But yeh I could only go off what I've heard.

Might just keep my options open for the moment and see what happens to the pricing of them, my goal is a mk2 T but don't particularly want to just settle for a "below average" one just for the sake of getting a mk2.

Stupid question... but do you have to put a seal kit through the turbo's when they start hiting the 100k mark?

get the T we need more for cruises around here

XR6 TURBO Its not hard

Turbo seals... Mine now has done over 100k and it doesnt use a drop of oil. Its been running at 10psi for around half of its life too. Just gotta keep the servicing up to them

Fair question and one that I havnt seen asked before. The later the model you can get in a T is the better choice.
