bentls, its not that simple with the BA..... the auto ECU cannot be flashed to disable the auto controls, and limits the car to 1500rpm

well in goes a Beefed up XR6T box, the old box was completely farked. T/C hadwelded it self to the bell housing and was not removable.
i opted for a XRT box with some modifaction, and it will be receiving a bigger seperate trancooler.

Who built the box?

Lilydale automatics.

Picked the car up this arvo and its ALOT better. No clunking when changing from P-R-N-D-SQ. shifts alot firmer in semi-auto aswell.
new transcooler and line etc etc.

yes indeed it was, but i also had some work done to the gearbox wich cost the most $$$

by **Sunboost** » December 9th, 2008, 9:16 am

Yeah you need to keep them beefed right up for those Barra 182 motors

by **Commando** » December 9th, 2008, 10:02 am

It's because the only way he can get it to rip skids if through N-bombing

by **[Sterling]** » December 9th, 2008, 3:28 pm

by **Steady** » December 9th, 2008, 3:38 pm

by **Sunboost** » December 9th, 2008, 10:14 pm

No hate here... if you can afford it, go the turbo kit

I dgaf no fark for whether you have a turbo or not and I'm not hatin, I'm just saying a beefed up gearbox is overkill.

BA's are damn good cars for the money these days, if you get a non-lemon.

Oh SNAP!!

by **[Sterling]** » December 10th, 2008, 3:00 pm

Sundeep
are you implying that i purchased a lemon?

the gearbox blowing the seal was caused by me doing skids and thrashing it on a hot day, then trying to drive it home with it slipping due to no oil i had no idea it would **** the box(giggity

) .

But your car can't do skids?

by **bentls** » December 10th, 2008, 6:31 pm

Hell no your talking about drift! im classy and steal scots CRC.

by **bentls** » December 10th, 2008, 6:36 pm

hahaha oops I'm mistaken

Either way this car sucks fo shiz, ef beat it with coolant coming out head gasket in 3 cylinders

Kesters car might not be the quickest, but at the end of the day he can cruise in 100% comfort and give it a poke around the mountains when he wants and it doesn't complain

by **BillyED** » December 10th, 2008, 7:09 pm

i think this is deserving of Kesters car

by **Sunboost** » December 10th, 2008, 7:34 pm

[Sterling],
No I am not.

I worked for Ford and know that there are 11ty million BA's out there with the shittest problems.

Gearbox blowing is part of a car's life.
