Guys,

For the people at the December club dinner will remember that I have ordered a FPV BF Typhoon, well I got it today.

For the people who do not know this car, it is a 270kw, 6 speed ZF Auto and HUGE brembo brakes.

Stock its good for a 13.2 1/4 and is one hell of a drive.

The build quality is much better than my previous XR6Turbo, so overall I am estatic with the new car.

Here are some pics.

The car is 1800kg wet.

I have owned 22 manuals and 2 autos.

I could have got a manual, but the 6sp ZF Auto is a unbelievable gearbox. It is like no other auto I have ever driven. My XR6T was a manual and while it was fun, it did not suite the Turbo motor as it dumped boost each gearchange, where the auto just keeps pulling all the way.

As for the 13.2, there have been several stock BF F6's that have run this time with everything totally stock. Once the motor free's up they may be good for a flat 13, if you stall it up. I also think it would break into the 12's with drag radials.

I do not know why Wheels and Motor cannot get good times, but it may have to do with the fact they tested it on a 40deg c day and as we all know turbos do not like hot days.

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
