Just if it's better to start with a FG and enjoy it stock for a while or get the BA and start on some mods. Don't want to want an FG a year down the track after spending $ on mods for a BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd spend the money, still need more for bolt ons then have an engine and trans that are on a fast track to snap city. Not to mention all the maintenance a 17yo car needs. IMHO get an already modified FG so there's nothing left to do. If you love the ba/bf shape then get that but make sure it's the right model. The ba isn't the right model for upgrading.

A bfmk2 is a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
