VU Write Off Supercharge Project

**ChargedAuto** · 06-09-2007, 04:58 PM

Just thought I'd fill you in on a current build project. Picked up a written off VU S pack ute and thought it would go nicely with a Raptor Supercharger and then perhaps a bit of laughing gas for some real fun.

Quite an effort to put it all together but I'm getting there slowly. Any comments or suggestions would be good.

A few more pics for those who love to watch.....

si what are u gonna do with it mate? use that mody or put engine in another car? sounds like its gonna be costly too me.

**Raptorsc** · 06-09-2007, 05:30 PM

Some wild drivers out there

**ChargedAuto** · 06-09-2007, 05:31 PM

Fix it...... life without challenges is death

I'll do nearly all myself so hope to keep cost to a minimum

**ChargedAuto** · 06-09-2007, 05:41 PM

This project has been underway for quite some time now, however have not been on here to post the pics, I will continue to add more as time persists and I hope to catch up with some of you soon.

**ChargedAuto** · 07-09-2007, 03:32 PM

Just wondering, how was the condition of the engine when you got the car, was there damage on the engine itself??

The engine itself was fine other than a broken power steering pulley where the radiator hit it.

The engine has only done 88,000 so should all be fine.

I heard they are having trouble keeping up with production, so have removed the rockers from their site to stop lengthy waiting periods. Not sure how true it is.

Never really liked the VU front

**ChargedAuto** · 08-09-2007, 08:50 AM

The engine goes in

**ChargedAuto** · 08-09-2007, 08:55 AM

Looks Like a real ute again

**AttaBoy** · 08-09-2007, 09:32 AM

Wow, you seriously got a lotta time on your hands.... and the facilities!!

Good work

**ChargedAuto** · 08-09-2007, 09:42 AM

It would seem so wouldn't it... Nothing could be further from the truth!

**R0d** · 08-09-2007, 11:05 AM

get it from pickles? should look good all painted, oh and love the other beast

**ChargedAuto** · 09-09-2007, 06:38 PM

Yeah, pickles is a fun place, cost's me way too much every time I visit though......

I try to stay away most the time

**ChargedAuto** · 09-09-2007, 06:59 PM

And the paint goes on... Thought another white ute would be a little boring so decided to make a subtle improvement.

Hope you like it!

**Troyziee** · 09-09-2007, 07:35 PM

**** that should look sweet, r u guna have any form of break line between tha colours??

**HoldenMan7** · 09-09-2007, 07:40 PM
