nah dont get a high flow cat it will make it drone even more as you already have the
exhaust coming through 3inches which is to much air flow for a start with a v6 a high flow cat will make it drone even more piss the 3 inch off and get a 2.5" exhaust system with a 3" stainless tip so the sound is channeled into 3" at the end rather than having a full 3" system giving ya ute a nicer tone
yet another thing to add to the 2 do list :P honestly cant see myself replacing the exhaust any time soon though, rockers are next up after this thing gets its ass end lowerednah dont get a high flow cat it will make it drone even more as you already have the

hey guys hoping for an answer on this one, im gettin im getting the springs tomoro and have noticed that the bumpstops have been cut back at some stage, however there is still only about a 30 mm space between the bottom of the stop and the plate on the diff. Once it is lowered it will be most likely very close to or sitting on the stops. As a general rule of thumb how much space should there be in between the stop and plate while the car is sittin there?
UPDATE - I have put king springs ultralows in the back of the ute, which has leveled it out more, i was hoping for it to be a bit lower but oh well, as the springs are new will they actually sag with time?
how close is it to the bumpstop now?? looks great by the way
hey mate, just chekd and since havn the car sit overnight the thing actuallly waas sittin on the stop, i cut them back before and it dropped another 5 mm.
how much stop have you got left??
haha bugger all mate, by memory they had 3 lumps didnt they? well i have about 1 lump sorta thing left.
looks tops mate

VS S ute
Hey guys just uploading pics of how shes sitting on stockys, will be that way till i buy myself an adjustable panhard rod as she scrapes the shit outta the back left hand tyre on the outer guard. Good news though, tommoro she will be receiving 1.95 roller rockers, a gasket kit and some slotted n drilled brakes
Bad news, got pulled over the other night and copped a canary 4 her

haha thanks mate, however mite have been wat drew the polices attention to me, just gotta blow a whole lot of money now gettin the canary removed
UPDATE - Drilled and slotted rotors went in yesterday, will be receiving some new tyres and an alignment through the week, roller rockers next weekend
Motor should be coming out soon, getting the roller rockers put in, and the gaskets replaced. Also i will replace the thrust bearing for the box... Does anyone have an engine crane for sale!?

Excuse my ignorance, but what the heck is a canary?
Low And Luxurious!
Canary = defect I'm Pretty sure
Yea mate, canary is a notice for a defective vehicle, alls good now but, atm the motor n box are currently out and the engine bays getting a good tidy up, i will be replacing gaskets etc on the motor as well as reconditioning the heads and installing roller rockers, as well as puttin in a new radiator (last one shit itself) and i will be most likely replacing the throw out bearing on the gearbox. pics should be up by the end of the week.
