nice car mate, ummm pic no.4 got any info on the rig behind the commy :P

[Apex8]

great looking car mate, the flag is probably a bit much tho, im assuming thats not a normal part of the car

[Chilly]

Looks tidy mate, nice one.

Well done, looks very clean. I'd definately add a trans cooler to your list of mods (I'd recommend one even before any other mods). Keeping that box cooler will help it last much longer, even on a stock car. How come it has an 'S' badge on the back?

Nice car mate, what that set you back

Im also confused RE: The title my first V8 and the appearance of a 'S' badge..
But otherwise, nice ride mate!

[rayjess07]

hey yeh its my bush toy.. its a 95 2.8 turbo diesel hilux with custom tray a bullbar custom 3" exhaust from bak of turbo, turbo is a aftermarket safari turbo running 20psi, 2" suspension lift, 2" body lift an 33" all rounder tyres and last of all lots of oil leaks..

[rayjess07]

nah i took the pics on australia day

[rayjess07]

it has a s bagde on the bak coz im a p plater and i got done with the ss badges on an thats the only reason the cops pulld me over

[Poms308]

lol i see, my bad

[NVMYVT]

20 psi? in a gutlux 2.8?

bwahahahahahaha, no wonder it has oil leaks, the turbo is pushing everything out of the motor
lol :P

must be fun though

[tim005]

haha you get pulled over heaps so you took one of the s's off.
that is something i have never ever seen anyone do.
ballsy effort.
what happens if they ask you to pop the bonnet and they see a v8 under there and not a little ecotec?

[rayjess07]

i dont get hassled any more now that it jst says s.. the 1st time i got dun they asked if was a v8 an i said yes, it had ss everywhere an gen3 v8 on the sides. they still askd me to open the bonnet an then they started counting cylinders an got to 4

[Apex8]

lol mate that is ****ing hilarious! why'd they bother getting you to pop the bonnet if they don't even understand what V8 meant lol

[rayjess07]

i still question it to this day.

[rayjess07]

i was wondering what springs i should go, when i get it lowered.. what would put me at a good height? i dont want to scrap on everything and i live on a dirt road that gets some serious corrosion

[NVMYVT]

look at fe2 or just lows,

all these ssl sssl and ultra lows probly don't even park in their own driveway :P

[Macca86]

^^ yep. And forget about ever carrying passengers if you put SSL etc on your car. Dumped cars look awesome... but its the most impractical change you'll ever do to your car

[Apex8]

yeah ive got lows on mine at the front at least and you still have to be wary of the nose when goin over curbs/speed bumps etc.

[rayjess07]

kool thanks everyone ill probly get lows after i finish with everything else
