    Default Got me a Ute HSV enhanced

    Hi there all
    Long time listener first time poster

    im a happy man as i have just bort myself a VR HSV enhanced Ute.
    Didnt no they even existed till i found it.Its a 5LT 185kw dose aney one no aney thing about it.From what HSV told me its just a ozzy 5lt with chip,knock sencor LSD and full HSV exhaust and extractors which do look fearly flash with the HSV stamped on the twin muffs
    He couldnt tell me what wheels or other rice mods where on the car but it dose have the maloo roof mount wing and the SS front bar std.
    From what i have been told they didnt even upgrade the breaks and that i belive because you have to chuck an ancor out the window to stop.
    When i got it home looked at the build number and its number 004.Aney one no how maney where made and what is so special about this thing.I mean its a great Ute to drive and smokes the tyers with out trying but wouldnt mind noing a little more

    Thanks
    jason

    cheers

    HSV build

    Just has HSV get back to me and said it had the 185kw engine "no shit" and it had the suspention upgrade and thats it.No rice , no wheels , and no break upgrade.So the ss front bar and the maloo top wing must of been ordered as an extra.

    The rest would be aftermarket... not dealer order.

    I'm pretty sure any 5L could be HSV'ed to 185Kw in the VR/VS era, more common on some models but still an option on all. 185Kw engine has chip, headers/exhaust(??), CAI and knock sensor.

    just looks verry stock atm which i think is good.no one no's what it is but i will be looking for a set of VR GTS rims maybe droping it 2inch and takeing that crapy red stripe off.
    The carover all is in excelent condition.Only ding is on the tale gate and the paint is shiny as.Bit hard to tell in the photo's.
