2005 Holden VZ Storm Ute

[VZ Storm Ute]

Hello guys,

I'm new here and I've been reading around in a few threads and I have noticed there are alot of experienced people here that have a wide range of knowledge on cars. I decided that I am going to use these forums to get guidance from you guys towards some of the questions that I have on my car.

Well first things first. I should introduce my car to you guys. Just note that these are old photos as for I have just recently hit a wallaby at night time whilst travelling approximately 60 km/h. This put a nice dint right in the middle of the car, damaging the bonnet and front bumper. Fortunately no damage was done on the inside. Luckily for insurance I get a new bonnet, front bumper and a few additional extras. As soon as my ute is fixed in the next two weeks or so, I will post up new better pictures.

Here it is before when my brother owned it still. Also I only have the standard rims as in these photos my brother was just borowing the rims from a friend temporarily.






Mods done:

- Exhaust and extractors
- K&N filter
- Lowered
- Hardcover
- Ultra blue headlights on high beam, low beam and foglights
- Pioneer 7" double din 6 stack cd/dvd player
- 2x Pioneer premier 6x9 speakers
- 2x Pioneer premier 6.5" splits
- 2x Pioneer premier 10" subs
- 2x Option audio 800 rms amps


Future mods:

- Better exhaust and extractors
- Better cold air intake kit
- Tunning of ECU
- Rims
- Monaro bonnet
- Chevy badges
- Phreddy's dash lighting
- Lining in tray
- Neons in car
- Add more to sound system


Well it's that time of the year again where we all claim our tax. Fortunately this is looking good for a new sports exhaust system. This is where I would like some help from you guys. Can I have some suggestions as to what is a high quality sports exhaust system that would suit my 2005 holden vz storm ute well. I want the full system, exhaust and extractors. I live in far north queensland (telling you for fitting purposes) or maybe I will just fit it myself. It would be appreciated if you would post up what you recommend WITH A LINK PLEASE and also some information about the power output and sound quality of the system. I'm looking at spending around $2500 so I want it to be a good quality exhaust that puts out a good amount of power and at the same time has the nice sound of a v8.

Thank you all!

Hey mate

Yer it does suck but in the end I think it will be worth it. The ute already looks alot better with a hardcover and now with a monaro bonnet, it will suit beautifuly with the twin hump on the hardcover.

I just can't wait for the bonnet to get in so my ute gets fixed abd then yer I'll post up more pics

[Kingston_99]

welcome mate, nice looking ute.

[DevilDRake]

Twin humps look good on the thunders, i suppose a Storm is the same thing basically so it should be smick

[VZ Storm Ute]

Yep it is pretty much exactly the same. Thunder utes come standard with them as one of their additional sports extras to help make them more unique. The twin humps definately look better then the flat tops which look plain!

[*uwishn*]

nice ride mate.

[Kingston_99]

some smooth (plain tops) look good on some cars. i wouldnt stick the humps onto mine as i seen the same modle ute around town with the humps and it looks heaps tacky. but each to their own...

Hey dude. Nice ute..

Just a Q re. your HU? Ive been told it can play DVD/TV. How the tv part work? and how much did you pay(ball park figure is fine)

[VZ Storm Ute]

Hey mate, you need to buy a tv tuner seperate and then once thats installed you can watch all of your local tv channels.

The RRP is $2000 but i bought it for $1050 off ebay

[luke641]

Sweet.

I was looking at some of the eBay cheaper versions.. Most have all the specs of the Brand names, using brand name internal parts, yet are like $400

[the4finger]

hey mate any photos of the interior/sound system install?

[sweefu]

How does the stereo sound with all those speakers in a ute cab? Didnt want to opt for just splits or if need be a sub?

[VZ Storm Ute]

Hey when I get back from Townsville I will upload new photos since my ute is fixed up now. I don't know exactly what you mean there sweefu but the sound system sounds freakin sick! I'll post pictures up soon.
