Amongst us 3FB guys, what would you like to see in the BAII thats going to be released around September. I'd thought i'd kick in a discussion and get the Boardroom going once again, as it's been very quiet.
Well i'll go first, i'd like to see a slight power upgrade in the XR8, 3.45:1 diff ratio in the manual and 20% stiffer front springs to balance the weight of the Boss engine.
Cheers,
Gary.

I'd like to see a 6 speed (manual and auto) in the GT and XR8, adjustable shocks in the GT more power but more importantly more torque in the GT.

AU II XR6 - October 2001 ~ December 2002 - RIP
BA XR6 - December 2002 ~ Soon to disappear if Ford CRC can't fix it....
45,000km service coming up - and i'll be asking for a sizable list of fixes:
* Gearbox (3rd time)
* Steering click (5th time)
* Brake Shudder (2nd time, and has the applied "Fix")
* etc...
Here are my thoughts on what some people might wish for:
JR: F@rk the BAII, I'll have a carbon fibre turbo Territory! Jamie XR6: Automated camembert dispenser. Blurter: Strengthened exoskeleton to fight off those utes who think they are can openers. Strider: Meguiar's Patented Forcefield™ Slim Darky: I'll have what Strider's having...in Venom. XH: Bugger the BAII, I'll build it myself! Bluedriver: Where's the 20" wheels option? Falkeen: Personal Digital Assistant built into the ICC to keep track of all those 21sts to go to. XR6HP01: Must have a Venom option to keep Team Venom alive.
And last but not least...
Slothy: Factory Filth Pack™ so it's easy to keep the car in original condition.

Provided I can afford it, I'm hoping to change ships asap after BA2 hits the streets.
Since I probably can't afford to run the V8 I'll be in a six again, probably XT/XR because I want a manual. Final decision will depend on cost of options and what is on the lot at the time. I am now very disinclined to order a car thanks to the knowledge I have gained from the Forum.
What is a must for me, a drive line without shunts and a gearbox/clutch combo without all the problems I've had in the AU. I don't need more power while I can still stay in front of Slim Darkie and the Bluedriver/Strider mobiles are only a couple of minutes up the road.
Oh more classics from the Slothy LOL.
Blurter come on only a couple of minutes up the road ? Thats while me and Strider are idling.
Obviously BA needs less weight,power up and down power windows,290 option for XR8,more power GT/GTP,nicer wing for GT/GTP,more aggresive body kit imo,more wheel options for XR6/8 and wider than 8" and nicer wheels than current GTP and why not 20's seeing you mentioned it Slothy.
Importantly to any 3fb purchases Sat Nav so you Subway/KFC/Maccas lovers can find decent eateries in the future. Bet you like that one Blurter
