hey im looking at buying an xr6t but I have been told by a number of people to stear clear of ba's. Id like to hear the opinions of you xr6t drivers on weather this is this the case or just BS.

cheers heanz

depends what you want to do with the car. ba's are fine mate ive got an 04 series one.

if you want a manual at least save the money for a mk11 with a 6 speed, the 5 speeds sh*t you'll regret buying it.

if you plan on modding it the valve springs will need replacing sooner than the later models.

4speed auto is pretty week and crap stock but can be livened up abit in your flash tune.

theres not a whole lot different between ba/bf untill you get to the bf series 2

Can take the BA to 320rwkw for about the same amount of $$ as a BF as long as you get an auto. Anything over that and you're gonna wanna do the rods and spend a few $$ on the box.

There's still some really clean low km examples around if you look for them.

They kept getting upgraded through the years, get the newest one you can.

get a bf mate, the auto will never give u any dramas and are a newer car.

bf for sure with the ZF auto.

Even though all the faster cars are rebuilt BA's

Ba 6 speed manual or auto if 300 rwkw's is enough or bf manual or 6 spd auto if you want more but these have their limits too!!
