bh5

[collaboration]

i'm in the market for legacy station wagon ;D i will make sure i get it this time.. i've been wanting it for a long time and every time i look for a car, i ended up getting something else somehow

looking for a bh5 at the moment

i see there is tba, tba e-tune, tsr, tx...

what's e-tune??? and what's tx???

i'm not fussed about turbo or n/a at the moment but i have a feeling that i'll regret if i get n/a

[DacerX]

i most likely have something wrong but ill give it a go:

TX = Pov spec, just some seats and a 2l NA

TSR = Same interior as GTB but still 2l NA

GT = Twin tubro 2l with basic interior and standard springs

GTB = Twin turbo 2l with all leather or half leather and bilsteins (just buy this one)

Some one correct me if i have anything wrong

[petrolheadjman]

TSR is DOHC, TX is SOHC? as far as i can gather

[aim]

E-Tune is like facelift for the interior.

If you can find a rev d, you'll be glad you did.

[Volcanix]

the e tunes are like 280hp asfaik

Except the autos, which are only 260

The Rev-D is very good for responsiveness and lack of lag etc though, and more economical as well.

[aim]

yews, but e-tune autos are 260hp too

i never even heard of rev-d until now... lol

so e-tune is just interior changes..

i think i will look for something gtb.. or tsr if i get desperate.... funny i wrote tba... lol

Rev-D refers to the final revision, made from mid '01 onwards. Rev A, B and C were before that.

TSR is 160hp from memory so a bit faster than the basic 2.0 as well as having a nicer interior and better suspension etc. But once you go turbo its hard to go back!

o i see..

how much would you guys pay for gtb rev d?? it looks like i need to budget it in between 10~12k?? i'm not really looking for a bargain but don't want to get ripped off either

[aim]

TX is SOHC and TSR is DOHC, bringing with it slight power increases.

So yeah

Some 2001's are Rev C. but anything from 02 and 03 I'm pretty sure is a sure bet. Just check under the hood, the chassis number should be BH5D if it's Rev D or BH5C etc

[aim]

10 grand should net you a nice one with a decent history and straight body.

EDIT: It should be mentioned the manuals have more power. But if you want an auto, I wouldn't put too much weighting on it. the difference is around 10kw or so.

EDIT2: The fastest way to tell if it's rev-d is to look at the wheels. if it's stock they look like mine

as opposed to rev a, b and c;

[ReubenH]

Wheels can be swapped easy. I usually look at the bonnet-grille-light combo. Post a pic of ya BE's face Aim

Mmmm, purdy ;D

I'm not 100% sure the change of grille, lights and the alloy bonnet = Rev D engine. The only way to know for sure is to check that plate in the engine bay.

[99GTB]

The rev C has the non projector style indicators. So rev D should be any with facelift headlights, unless they have been swapped like my 1999 rev B GTB

[aim]

the rev-d also has the plastic engine cover thingy prejected back further on the LH side. and a few other subtle changes to the engine bay.

[Flippymoi]

Quickest way to tell is definitely headlights/bodykit. Most foolproof is to check the model code. I think all E-Tunes are Rev D?

[aim]

Yeah mate, if there's a MY00 with the E-tune badge, someones stolen it lol. They started offering it near the end of 01.
