You after auto/manual? If auto forget about the BA's, cos they didnt come out auto, on the BF's did. Different colour coding, front and rear bumpers are different (personally like the look of the BF's better), Also the BF's came with 4pot brembo's standard, 6pot is an option, Internals (engine area), some BF's came with different styles of Rims, mainly in the BF MKII(like the twisted alike and dark agent ones were on), that's all I can think of...If your after modding and doing performance work to it probably everyone agree and say definately go for the BF MKII, I believe they handle more power... Hmmm, yeh that's about it...Oz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57173-what-haschanged-on-all-f6-typhoons/#findComment-868757 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have found a john bowe signature series Ba F6 are these any good cheers guys I would like to get a good response because I have been told mixed things about these models.Regards Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57173-what-haschanged-on-all-f6-typhoons/#findComment-882696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slight risk buying a car you have not seen in person but I bought it from a ford dealser and it still has new car warranty on it. If you were really worried interstate airfares are pretty cheap these days.. good luck in your car hunting matefpv_f6_specifications.pdf Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57173-what-haschanged-on-all-f6-typhoons/#findComment-882774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading on this forum that some guy had valve spring problems at only 250kw with the ba does the ba typhoon have weak valve springs like the ba xr6 is there any mechanical difference between them. I like the look of the Bas over the Bfs but if there not as good then I will get a BF from what I take on the matter is that ba to bf front and rear bumper upgrade with standard Brembos that’s it can some one confirm this Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/57173-what-haschanged-on-all-f6-typhoons/#findComment-882789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid_ford Member 47 Member For: 19y 5m 3d Location: Adelaide SA Posted 30/05/09 01:40 AM Share Posted 30/05/09 01:40 AM Most of the quicker BF's have the ZF 6 speed automatic gearbox.The manuals need a very good driver to get the most out of them.The automatic will hold boost between gear changes while the manual will dump boost.I belive that valve springs can be a bit hit and miss even between similar build date cars.If you really want a manual then a BA F6 with optioned brakes would be nice and not ascommon as the BF F6. But if you want the ZF auto then BF is the only way to go.
