    Yeah it somehow went up $500 since I sold it. I bought it originally, fixed her up and sold it back to original owner for an extra 2k. Now he wants to sell back for extra 500. Haha it does seem fair as the charger alone is a couple grand. I do know the thing inside out. decisions decisions...

    Rego current and safety provided. Thanks for info. You're pretty much on the figure. I know parts are worth that n more but so much money for a vs ute! It feels like unfinished business this ute. if I was to buy it it would be long term project than no future partner will take away from me

    Interesting. Thanks mate. It was built late 90s if that helps. The diff and ute has done little to no work though. So it would appear that it's definitely an lsd just a matter of which one. I am pretty sure I came across them in vl turbos or some fords or something similar. I'll do some...

    Done and done Looking from the front And from the back Decided today that i want to run the exhaust as dual all the way through. It meets behind the diff at the moment so would be easy to route out the otherside of the rear bumper

    Will jaycar speedo corrector fix this?

    Just did the calculator and it says the speedo will read 100kmh when I am travelling 107kmh. That and the other research I've done indicates it is a cog or I could have different diff. Thinking diff because it reads over and not under?
