Wow thats a steal at $4000!! Looks very neat similar to mine. good luck with it

[Skidney]

How the heck did you get it so cheap? These are worth around 9 - 10K

welcome to JC mate

[dbarnes]

looks really clean, id also like to know how u got it so cheap lol. how come your ride says VR exec if this was your first car? anyway.. you picked up a nice car mate well done

[VRStato64]

wow 4g's thats awesome very good find

[some_guy]

sorry to dissapoint boys, i payed the real price of $8500 i stole the specs list from trayners thread his car is $4000. Thanks for the welcome. i just picked it up the sarvo. sooooo good, the pics dont do the interior justice

[some_guy]

update, well kind of. I just got the registration transfered into my name, im so happy with my purchase, so now i just need to need to get my stereo gear from the old car into this bad girl.

[Kurtp]

Looks real clean, if you wanna see what lows look like check out my car, if you want lower you will need to go supers.

[some_guy]

yeah, i had lows in my vr sedan, it sat pretty nicely on 15 inch wheels so im gonna look for maybe ssl in the rear to see if i can even it out a little. I want it to sit almost flat to be honest.

[some_guy]

went out on friday night to a local car meet, pretty god turnout was fun.

[Robbo VS3]

Nice ute mate, i love those mags!

[old mate]

nice ute mate, my ute sits a similar height to yours, probably same springs. (i dont know what they are either!).

you reckon the extractors and cat will make a difference power wise?

[some_guy]

Thanks for the comments boys. Yeah dyer i reckon it will, cause it made the vr pull harder.... its not like i need the power though, its already way more quicker than my vr. im thinking about seeing how it goes with the current catback exhaust, cause atm its nice and sleeper hahah (I wish my car was a sleeper)

[sweefu]

hey mate, not sure if the extractors from a vr will bolt up?

[some_guy]

Oh really? i had my doubts, that was gonna be a question i asked the exhaust shop. Thanks for the heads up man.

[some_guy]

hi guys, im pretty close to winning a level 3 cluster on ebay, just wanting to know, is this easy to swap and will i have to do alot of chopping and soldering to my loom to add in one that can be used with the level three cluster or is it as simple as unclipping the old and clipping in the new??

[some_guy]

Update,

i am currently winning a new loom too so soon i should have the lvl 3 cluster in within the next two weeks im excited. cause my cluster atm is p***ing me off.

[some_guy]

Just got a quote off GSA Wholesale suspension. $380 to lower the rear.

KYB shortened stroke Shock ($150 a pair)
King Spring SL - 60mm drop ($170 a pair)
Shortened Stroke Bumpstop Kit ($60)

Should have the money for that soon too. After that, im gonna talk to my brothers mate.

He has workerd on the interiors of cars that have been in auto sallon. so i should be able to get my interior pimped from him for quite cheap.

[old mate]

do you know how much shorter the bump stops are? i really need some for my ute too as its pretty much on them.

interior pimpin, should be good

[some_guy]

ill let yah know old_mate

yeah just won a level 3 cluster and with marko_vr giving me a loom and assisting me with installation.

I finnaly realised my mod direction, Im gonna make a luxury ute, im not too concerned about a super fast car right now so im goin to get an electrical aerial, power windows, the re-appolstered interior, lowered, and then ill see if its worth doing a climate control system.

[some_guy]

just as an update, i get the ute back today. its been in getting the power steering fixed. i managed to snap a blade in the pump which lodged between another blade as it came round to pick up pressure again. this then put extremem amounts of pressure on the main shaft causing it to eventually snap. Ill post up some pics if i can take some.

[hulmy29]

nice ute dude, real clean

[some_guy]

nice ute dude, real clean

thanks mate.

im still having trouble with power steering, starting to get real frustrated. Cause i ca see it getting expensive

[some_guy]

update:

- i have installed a galvinised toolbox installed in the tray
- tidied up the interior
- installed zenon bulbs and blue parkers

After i sell my sedan (within the next month hopefully) i will be able to focus my funds on my ute.
