Wattos impulse Vz Maloo r8

[wattos_ute]

Howdy been on the forum for a little while just didn't have the net for ages after moving outta home. Thought i might post up a few pics. It's a 2006 Vz Maloo r8 manual that I have had now for two months, I bought it from Melbourne with only 28k on it.
Mods are- lowered

So a blank canvas.

Short term Plans- custom made exhaust comin soon (tax)
- otrcai, unsure what one yet thinking an alloy vcm model... Inputs on what these kits are like could help with decision. Would love the dus kit but they are a bit pricier. (tax and bonus)
- custom mafless tune (hopefully a combination of tax, bonus and back pay owed to me from work.)

All going well Should hopefully be done within a few months.
Any way here is just a few pics

Forgot to say that it has 19" Vz senator rims, gm rip shifter and ridiculous tex z grip hd clutch which I don't really like but oh well.
I had to raise it when I brought it over from Vic to get It passed so the only pics I have on my phone that are side on is at it's raised height so will have to take some more tomorrow so you can see stance etc. This is the only pic I have at the moment.

Cheers for the comments yeah I'm heaps happy with it and the super low kms are great like you said barely run in.

Great find, like jesterarts car its an awesome looking blue, suits the clubby and R8's.
If you are only going with minor mods have you considered a mail order tune.
I fitted a Dus otr and had a Oztrack mail order tune fitted and car went really well, after about 6 months I got Steve from Oztrack to upgrade the tune on the dyno and only gained 4.4 rwkw over his mail order tune, which shows how good his mail order tune was in the first place.

Yeah cheers was a garaged car for it's whole life before I got it barely driven until now as it's my daily. I did look at a mail order tune but decided against it coz as far as tuning I would rather get it done then try doing it myself.
