Thinking Of Upgrading To A Newer Car

[GTAAAH]

twin turbo kit 4 5k... come with el cheapo ebay turbos and PCV piping?

value for money power wise on a XR8 u have the Powerdyne kit,

$4000 blower kit

$1500-2000 exhaust

$750 flash tuner

(not 2 mention all the other nasties suprises ul run in2 along the way) <-- clutch

=$6250-6750 for roundabout 270kw@rears

http://www.capa.com.au/kits_ford_ba_xr8.htm

but aint XR6T's making that sort of power wid jus:

$500 exhaust

$750 flash tuner

$500 FMIC

$100 pod

$20 boost controller on 12PSI

Total =$1870

and u can do all that quiet easyily with minimal tools in your back yard.... and pull off once again just as quick

but some would say the roar of a V8 is worth the coin (like me) but ford V8's sound shit compared to holdens so XR6T it is!

if u do end up with a BA or higher jus keep a tow truck card in the centre console becuase they have a problem with there diffs....

and stay away from the 5speed its rubbish!

no they're advertised in ford performance and i've seen them in street before, they have plenty of supercharger kits for around that price too.. it's a heck of alot easier to make big power on the 8's than the 6's

I like both xrt & xr8, but they're to frigging big and cost too much for what they are.

i was in this situation 12 months ago. Looked at the F6 Typhoon, but once your in it you realise the seating position is high (feels weird) and the size of the car is too big for my liking.

Ended up going with a wrx - still has 4 drs, goes well and 4wd makes it much safer.

[RNGTR]

Agree about the seating position in the Falcons, feels very odd at first.

Umm i'll have a look on the net and try find one, they're close to the same price as the supercharger kits, my mate has a super kit he got for 5200 installed and it eats my old 220kw gts-t, v8 is a better base to build power on and they sound better, stock for stock i'd probably go the 6T, but the 8 is a better base to build on

EDIT: cheapest TT kit i can find is 8k, maybe i was tripping

although i dont know if id be buying a local car when a new model is so close, the new model is almost a complete redesign although with some short cuts taken on design and using similar underpinnings to the current model...

it may look all flash and euro with xennons, pull handles, and styling....

but its a ba below all that...

[Marco-R34GTT]

F6 Typhoon FTW

[typevu]

GT-P... mMmmm

[gts-4 dreamer]

the fpv V8 at the syd motor show was a fuel injected 4 valve per cyl quad cam, red line @ 7 or 8k (from memory) with a short shift 6sp tranny, optional 6pot calipers up front with 4 pot rears with a leather interior. was 70k .. the cobra version ie limited but after checking out thier weby at the show I noticed that the brakes and engy are the same in the fpv model

[thematrix]

Get a new Barina, made in Korea, quality mate, under 25k parts cheap as chups and fuel....well hardly uses any. The police won't ever come near you. You could even pretend it's areal Holden so you don't get stoned by the anti-import mob. Maybe a new exhaust and some chromies, fully sick!

I too have heard really bad reports of the diffs having dramas...And this coming from a mechanic who works for Ford...

[JBird]

VE SS...much better motor...more torquey down low, don't really need to modify to get anywhere. Keep it stock. Pretty good handling for something so massive, brakes really let it down though. Unfortunately you won't find any for 25k yet.

If you have to buy a Ford I'd buy it in Auto...and you'd have to do something to the engine to make it more responsive. It's a little like the euro V8's that need to be reved to start going anywhere.

Why not buy a Lexus LS400? Cheap as, bulletproof motor, leather interior the whole shebang.

I know I am gonna sound a little different here but here goes....Ever considered a Toyota chaser or an Aristo ? yes they are not local however they can be stupidly fast and still look like an ordinary sedan..

thats what I would be buying for that sort of coin
