Hey guys,

On Tuesday I picked up my 1st FPV, a BA2 Typhoon. It's been my dream to own one since when they came out in late 2004. This one was going for the price of a stock Typhoon but had 336RWKW worth of mods.

It's got all the normal stuff, nothing out there. Injectors, secondary fuel pump, BMC filter, dump to tip exhaust and the trusty Monza cooler (which leaves a lot to be desired, as a lot of you know) which is all tied together with a flash tune. Also has 4.11 diff gears, Herrod Sure-Shifter, DJR springs, Koni Shocks and ratchet type camber / caster kit.

I hopped out of a stock BF Mk2 in to this. Fair difference lol, but the BF Mk2 was way better in terms of overall build quality.

No plans really. If I can get a better cooler kit at a decent price I might do that, and I'll probably get it re-tuned sometime soon.

Mate looks sick!!!

And btw, Welcome to the forums

Some of the forum sponsors do great IC kits at around $1000. Depending on how much power you want, these are a great option!

Nice car btw (I love phoons as well)

Cheers,

Dan

Cheers mate I'll keep an eye out for the cooler kits, already did a little research when I had the BF.

Not too happy with the tune, so I'll look in to that one 1st!

nice work mate hope you enjoy it.. nice choice on colour too love rapid

Alright well it's booked in for a tune on Monday. I'll see how that goes. Not sure I'm allowed to talk about tuners and stuff here?

Hey mate welcome and good work on the new purchase, I went from a series 1 AU Futura to the T and it was another world in the difference you'll have a blast. As far as talking about tuners mate that's what it's all about on here. There is a wealth of knowledge on here that has been a great help to myself and so many others. So share your thoughts and experiences ( in the right forum of course ) and dont be affraid to ask opinions or any questions. Im in Mooroolbark too so will keep a look out for you.

Looks nice mate, and got some good mods too, well done.

You can talk about tuners on here, just dont start a war lol

Cheers Brad. Can't say I've seen your car around, but that's just probably your sleeper looking paying off for you

Well I was going to take it in for a full custom re-tune at BPR next Monday but I called up Nizpro as well just after I booked it in, as the car had receipts from tuning at their workshop. They said that they'll have a good look at it and make sure it's all running OK for a couple of hundred bucks, and chop / change the tune as required to make it all legit (it detonates sometimes in 3rd and 4th, not due to heatsoak as it happens on cool nights and I always use good fuel).

So yeah, as I live in Mooroolbark, Nizpro is convenient and also a lot cheaper than BPR. So I'm hoping they'll do a good job on cleaning up the tune a bit and I don't regret my decision to go with them over BPR.

looks good mate,can't go wrong with that colour.

Very nice F6 matey, sweet colour choice, you gotta come cruisin
