I painted the engine cover myself, all the photos I have of it are pretty average and will be putting some better ones up in the near future.

I'm also on my P2's now which means no more P-Plates!

Very nice car for a young fella to own, nice purchase.
Future mods should have it sounding better inside and out.

i guess you just sneaked in when u got ur license before the new rules cames out.. i sneaked in by a few years myself lol hopefully ur not like every other young guy and treat that car nice m8 be a shame to see it written off

any major engine mods planned?

and that driveway looks like a bi*ch haha

[Muzza45]

Nice colour and I have a thing for VZ's, don't wrap it around a tree, happy motoring.

[VZ Thunder SS]

Thanks guys. And yeah I drive it like a baby im not keen on losing my lisence haha, and the driveway is a bitch the ramps are so dads cv8 Monaro can get into the driveway, as far as engine mods eventually when it's not my daily ill look into charging it, the Dyno run that read 233RWKW was at 2pm on a 42 degree day so apparently the true power would be somewhere around the 240 - 245 mark. I've got all the sound system sitting waiting to go except for the sub that will arrive this week hopefully

[Trayner]

I feel the pain mate , my driveway is about the same steepness . Mint looking ute btw thou man

[DSLXIK]

love the utes, didn't get one because I don't think I'd ever use the tray :P

exhaust in 6-8 weeks? lol that's like buying furniture lol

[VZ Thunder SS]

Nah dslxic it all depends when I get the chance to go down to Mildura to get the work done

[VZ Thunder SS]

Just did a quick chop up on trusty old paint.net with some Advanti Tourers on her,

I think they look pretty neat, opinions?

[SUP3RST4R_DJ]

Nice ute mate and I like the advantis on it, I'm pretty keen for one of these in turismo blue when I get my opens, only problem is finding a nice untouched one haha keen on seeing future mods to mate

[Mono987]

Paint.net FTW!!!

[VZ Thunder SS]

Paint.net FTW!!!

True that mate!

[coo dawg]

The Advanti's look TUFF.
You purchasing a set for it?

[VZ Thunder SS]

Yeah I thought the advantis set it off, I think wheels + lowered with be the last things I do, to me I'd rather spend the money on what I'll notice the most first.. My new slimline sub arrived today, hopefully my sound system goes in next week

[SUP3RST4R_DJ]

well as it sits i think the wheels and height look pretty good, what are you putting in your sound system mate?

The system thats going in:

Head unit: Alpine CDA-117E w/ Bluetooth HandsKit
Speakers: Rockford Fosgate Punch
Sub: Rockford Fosgate Slimline Punch (Self modified)
Amp: Clarion 4 Channel (for now)

Today I had to modify the box of my new sub to fit in behind the seat of my ute.

The end result came up okay I think, here a couple of photos.

Before:


After:


**Note** That is a sub strap on the left of the sub if anyone was wondering.
