Car looks good mate.Gotta love a red SS. The bonnet buldge should look good but not sure with the air scoop in it.Whats next on the list? Good luck.

[W45H1NGT0N]

Cheers man

Probably doing the calipers red and the hubs black.
Then change over the s**t exhaust tips to either big dual dumpy tips, twin dual dumpy tips or twin 3" dual tips.

[RESERVED]

Sounds good mate

[Scido]

Looks very tidy mate.

Maybe some slimline custom plates, white writing on black background.
Did it to my red vy and it cleaned the front of the car up really well.

[W45H1NGT0N]

cheers for the comments guys

what you guys recon for new custom plates "SEDUCTV" "VIOL8R" "DLUXXX"???

[RESERVED]

Seductv +1

[W45H1NGT0N]

yeh i was leaning towards that one aswell

[TA 91 WA]

yeh i was leaning towards that one aswell

Makes me want SEDUCTV now ha.

Nice ute mate, as mentioned earlier, gotta love the SS utes

[W45H1NGT0N]

lol yeh cheers guys
bad news got a yellow on wednesday night and the pigs gave me til 6pm friday night to get it off
luckily it was all taken care of by 2pm friday arvo
haha stupid f*****g pigs!
lol at them bahahahaha

[ewt]

What was the Yellow for? Tires? Other?

Anyways, love the SS mate - Top Job.

You should get some 19" or 20" Sigs and Spray them Black. That'd look awesome. Maybe a Harrop Blower?

I reckon go for the Plates "VIOL8R".

Josh.

[W45H1NGT0N]

ewt- hey man yeh the yellow was just for bald tires. Took it to the pits and it took them 15mins to check everything. I would love some black sigs but they've been done to death haha and plus funds are extremely tight atm.
tax return time i'll be trying to get 2nd hand extractors, imported high flow cats and possibly custom plates!

cheers for the comments guys keep it up

Oh the joys of tax returns. How much did it cost you to take it over the pits?

[W45H1NGT0N]

hey man yeh cost me $85 for the pits

[W45H1NGT0N]

UPDATE!!! otr is being made this friday (gunna be a late night) then off to the dyno day for some readouts

[W45H1NGT0N]

UPDATE! OTR was finished 9pm friday night and installed pulled 290rwhp on the dyno run on saturday morning. so im pretty impressed with that. its still readjusting the air-fuel ratio's so its slowly getting better!

[W45H1NGT0N]

ok so now that the funds are more flexable what would be the next couple of upgrades i could go about?

[Bravotwozero]

Are you going to put up pics of this OTR? And did you do a dyno run beforehand for comparison? Any tuning done? Are you trying to say you're making 215rwkw just from this mystery OTR and a cat back?

[W45H1NGT0N]

yeh pics will b up soon, no dyno before hand, no tuning done(as far as i know), and yeh 215rwkw from otr and catback.
the otr is just like the other aluminium ones except the bottom of the filter housing is stretched downwards and the sides are stretched inwards to accommodate the factory sized air filter. oh and its also still running the maf but not for long

[W45H1NGT0N]

UPDATE: HSV headers and modified catpipes are done. A noticable gain in power and definately a nicer sounding growl from the exhaust. turns the tires all the way through 1st and abit into second.

[Kingston_99]

hey mate, nice ute. looks like mine way back. check my thread out bro, get some idea's of what can be done to these things.

[W45H1NGT0N]

Kingston_99: hey man yeh ive seen ur thread, and yeh real nice ute

[the4finger]

hey mate i'm currently running dual type R 12's in my car and want to atleast keep one of them when i upgrade to a ute like yours and was wondering if you could throw a few photos up of how/where yours is mounted?

hey man
currently im running it in a stock alpine ported box,
but in the very soon future a mates of mine is making up a custom ported box that'll go right next to the fuel tank in the long range tank location, it's tuned to 33hz and only just fits.

hot ute mate
