is it sl all round ? what height is the exhaust of the ground ?
as im thinking of raising mine to sl so i can get up/down my rather steep drive way lol
i think it is sl all round but i didn't do the front springs, the exhaust is a decent height above the ground and the car looks lowered so thats the main thing. lol
just got the redback all fitted up, cost me $115 to get it fitted, that includes new rubber hangers and a flange welded on so that it could fit up to my existing cat. she sounds nice with a little rumble and crackle, way better then that droning diff dumper but not as loud. lol
here is the nice new tip. lol
hopefully gonna get something a bit better during the week.

looking good as always.
but when are you going to get those little caps (and painted white) to cover those bolts at the rear? =P

hey guys, heres the latest.
decided my engine needed abit of glamming up so this arvo i ripped of the rocker covers and decided to paint them white with black infill stripes.
i am yet to paint them so ill stick up some pics when there done but here is how they looked when i pulled em off.

tip on the painting.
paint entirely in the base colour.
then with a fine paintbrush (get a set from the reject shop or whatever for like $2) paint the lines.
dont try and spray on any lines. it doesnt work! =P (trust me)
will look awesome when its done.
love colour coding so it works well together
keep up the good work

just finished painting, turned out quite good, should look real nice on the car.
And its done, looks way better then that greasy old plastic look.

thanks guys really suprised it turned out so good, usually my paint efforts end up like an orange peel with more fish eyes than a Japanese market.

looks tops!
you must be getting better at painting if it came out superb the first time.
so did you decide against painting the lines in black?
or saving that for a rainy day? =P

ill see how i go i like the all white look but if i get sick of it then i can always do the lines to change it up a bit.

looks good mate , how long till they go black/greasey hahaha

mine were dirty after a week.
but it does blend in with the rest of the car =P
but i have noticed they dont get grease or anything other then just dust on them.
so tbh it is a pretty easy and good customising mod to do.
so what other mods have you thought about doing to this ute?
keep it up btw

other mods, not a thing just keep her running properly and replace and tweak a few little bits here and there just to fix it up as good as possible. if i could id bolt on some extractors, lower the front, and paint the interior black.
dont really plan on keeping it for ages so no point in customising stuff that isnt really gonna increase sale price. but ill see how it goes might end up sticking with it and just pimping it out. lol
You should polish other parts in your engine bay? look good as
Other then that, shes a nice ute!
so went to repco to get a new tensioner pulley as the current one screams louder than a supercharger. haha, but they didnt have any in stock
so instead i got me some night shade and tinited the rear lights for a bit of a change. it came out really good, probably a touch darker then i wanted but oh well. can always get some new lenses anyways.
and just a happy snap
thinking im gonna polish up the alternator next, dont really want to spend any more money on this thing as i am trying to save up for my next car.
any other ideas of what i can do to make it more appealing all round? that isn't gonna cost me to much.
