NVT Formerly EGOBFXR6 Donating Members 1,111 Member For: 17y 4m 16d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 14/04/11 01:34 PM Author Share Posted 14/04/11 01:34 PM Hey guys,Dillz, A BF II Phoon is absolutely nothing like a 1st series BA... Better engine, rims, brakes, gearbox, body kit, options etc (I know you know mate, but to me they're not even in the same league...)I'm thinking just to get used to the power, probably going fuel pump, injectors, Xcal and tune. See how I like it and how the car responds, then adding the exhaust and IC/piping/intake kit after.There's not one thing I like about the FG's... I hate the stock rims and the car doesn't have the road presence that the BF's had, although they are very sleek. Even if they drive like an absolute dream, that is literally the only thing going for them in my eyes.I know I can change the brakes, lights, rims and mod, but I don't have the money for that. There are only povo pack stockies around for low 30's - I don't want a chaser and I hate white and silver... Mid 30's for a nicer one is over $7K more over a BF II phoon... It's just not winning me over... And at the end of the day, it's just an XR6...

FG F6 would solve all the problems, but you gotta find a reasonably priced one, If looks wise it ticks all your boxes I'd go the BF Phoon considering it is fpv and will always look timeless (but im not a huge fan of the fgxr6t, having driven so many anyways). Just my 2cents :DOr just buy a G6ET and wear a cardign Edited 15/04/11 05:32 AM by Fluffy Mc D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73909-tough-choice-to-make/page/3/#findComment-1097079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is many have regurgitated the same bile but then get an FG and can't stop raving about how great they are.
