    Ute is looking great mate!! Can I ask why you went for the Walkinshaw springs? They are same as King springs but cost a lot more through them.

    Yes walkinshaw offer a 3 year driveline warranty, having walkinshaw products will not void the holden warranty. This is what holden has advised me.

    Going back in 2 weeks for a new tune and dyno run to see what figures she pulls, should be interesting.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Thunder utes cease production after 2011?
