    VS ute series II... the work bus

    I ve also changed jobs as my knee disagreed with 12 years of laying timber floors. I now commute to the city from my house (4.5kms). Started on the bus but managed to have a breakthrough with the misses... she finally let me get my motorbike permit. What awesome fun it is to ride a bike...

    VS ute series II... the work bus

    As for the Ute its been relagated to living under a car cover. Hidden but not forgotten. The stereo install went well and sounds awesome. The amp/sub combo are perfectly suited to each other. Can crank everything full noise all day with no dramas. Omly downside is i lost abit of seat adjustment...

    My Vs SS Commodore 95 build

    She a ripper looking ride. Those rims look really nice on your car. Im thinking about either them or a set of vy sigs. I reckon the vy sigs get a little too much attention from the boys on blue. Leaning towards your rims. Looks classy but still tough

    Thieving punks. Mate of mine has had his hsv ones pinched from his maloo a few times up at roxby (miner). Got sick of that so now has a rough looking VX he found cheap with low kms to drive to work. The stato is looking killer. Was trying to convince my misses to get a 5 litre one for a temp...

    Cranky VSSSUTE 355 Twin Throttle Walkinshaw Build Thread

    Unfortatly work comes first for all of us. The level of detail you go into on your ute is first class. Keep up the good work. If i swing over to melb in the near to medium future (depending on your ute being done) would love to have a look at this weapon close up.

    [/URL][/IMG] So had a prouctive morning so far. Swapped the strut brace off the silver bullet to the ute. Dont like red bits in engine bay unless the car is black. So i painted the mounts black. On a side note i saw this absolute shocker of a car. Wouldn t let my dog sit in it. [/URL][/IMG]

    VS ute series II... the work bus

    Thanks wozza. I read through heaps of threads on here about it. I know my ute kicks them in at just over a third. Doesn t bother me too much. Seems every car is different. The VT, VX and my other VS that i had as a teenager all behaved like my ute does currently. Never going over a third in...

    Green VS Maloo

    Bugger all in the back. ive done two trips to Keith from Adelaide (nearly 500km round trip) with about 450kg of floor sanding gear in the back. All i noticed was it went through more fuel and looked cool as the back was low as. Definatly a dodgy one i reckon.

    VS ute series II... the work bus

    im thinking doner car once the misses saves enough to get herself a new car. Its abit rough to be honest. But runs well, doesnt blow smoke and the auto shifted well with no diff slap.
