looks nice and tidy mate nice choice for a first car.

I have a ss inductions its good, but i only choose it over the super 6 one cause i got it for $50 if your looking to save some cash I'd recommend the VS super 6 one from holder for around $60

awesome untill i saw that bloody tacho....

id try get the ss one from experience the super 6 one done sweet f.a until i added another induction pipe made out of 60mm pvc straight into the airbox from down near the bottom of the radiator works alot better then the super 6 cai

Yeah but for the extra 250 bucks you pay for the SS inductions one it just isnt worth it. Get the S/C induction from Holden for 50 bucks, whip out the heat gun and expand the mouth.

Also you probally wont need a dual exhaust on it, it will make it louder but thats really about it, youd be better of either sticking with your current exhuast or finding out what type of exhuast it is and maybe getting a better quality one.

Ute looks good though, from the pics the paint looks tip top. Make sure to keep her clean. Like the hardtop always a good addition. Dunno about all that trust stuff though.

Thanks 4 The Replies.... Yeh I want a dual exhaust to give it a bit more of a deeper sound not so much performance wise as im on the new "p" plate rules anyway lol..... Any Ideas On How Much I will be looking at for this? Any Ideas Instead Of The Trust Door Trims If You Dont Like Them?? haha

[gustov]

yeah i dont know bout the exhuast it will have to be custom made i expect. as the general cat backs just come straight from red back or lukey, etc

[matthewmckay231]

ok than cheers... have a new question im currently working on. would a manual console fit in my ute if i take the bench seat out and replace the passanger seat with the other racing seat? thanks

[gustov]

i was going to suggest that you do that actually, as far as im aware yes but you will need to relocate the hand brake

[matthewmckay231]

ok... i got some other guys opinions off the website about the centre console and apparently it wont match up properly? might just get my other seats done in black material at least so it match's my new seat. wht do ya think?

Nice ute mate.

Dislike the tacho though. Looks out of place.

With the SS inductions thing, I know its off topic but Is it worth paying $250 for the SS one or getting a Super 6 or whatever its called from Holden?

Still though, also, change the headlight bulbs to the crystal white ones, the yellow tinge kills it a bit.

[davecunno]

centre consolde will go straight in. u need to relocate handbrake thats all. u need the console and the radio surround and thats it

hey matt nice ute did you do most of the work your self or was it like it when you bought it
