hey mate ute looks awesome cant wait to see the modding process!!!!

[JUDDO13]

just a question im gettin tint on monday and today i realised that the person that owned the car before me or the dealership i got it from had something resprayed neer the back window and there is some overspray on it wondering when they tint it will be the iside of the window wont it so it wont hide the overspray?
is there anyway to get old overspray off? its proberly been there for a long time god knows

Ditch the msd coils and leads for some yella terra high ratio rockers, best power mod i had on my v6

[JUDDO13]

yeah im deffinetly keen to get some rockers but for the time being i want to be able to keep my used car warranty for as long as i can if i do to much ill proberly void it but something like the coils well i dont think they would have anything to say about them but in saying that i donno if they are even worth it but thats stuffs for later or anyway doing the basics atm
cheers for the input tho

i did them msd coils too, all they did was look good lol no difference in anything

[JUDDO13]

haha yehh i kinda thout that mite be the case thats something i wanted to know so no real point in it unless the original coils are shagged

Good to see another ute like mine.

The color is called Hyper Mica or Hyper Yellow depending on who ya ask

[JUDDO13]

to bad its missing the extra 2 cylinders lol
thanks for the colour name tho

[Dougs.8]

Mines an SS.

Its only missing the Twin Turbos lol

[JUDDO13]

was tlkin about my car missing to 2 cylinders haha
twin turbos would be prityy sweet tho

lsd is an option for the 6's (not sure about the vu's though) check to see if there is a lsd tag on the diff drain plug

just needs a S/SS body kit and a hardtop tray cover and you will be sweet

[JUDDO13]

alright i had a look under it there is a tag on the diff fill plug wassnt on the drain plus i couldnt exactly get close enough to reed it lol but is that wat im looking for?
i really want a maloo hardcover but they are way to $$ for me at the moment unless i can find something at the wreckors and im deffinetly thinkin about the ss kit

[Cameron P]

yeah my bad its the fill plug... on non lsd diff's they dont have a tag so if it does it will more then likely mean its lsd

put it up on a hoist or something and spin one of the rear wheels, if the other one spins its lsd if it stays still its not

save up for them mate and your car will looks sweet

[JUDDO13]

ok sweet as thats awesome thanks yeah ill have to double chek next time i jack it up

[Cameron P]

should post up some more pics

btw should get some of these but wait it out for some hyper yellow ones

[JUDDO13]

peoples opinions on this? getting the spokes powdercoated a glassy black

[JUDDO13]

tint Midnight express isnt as dark as i thout it would be but looks allot better
photo taken on my phone so it isnt the best quality sorry haha

[Dougs.8]

Much better as a black rim

[JUDDO13]

yeah thats what i was thinking its deffinetly on the cards a little later down the track i wouldnt think it would be that much to get them powdercoated would it?
