chris' VS ute

[crack]

that looks beaut!! may i ask what springs you are running. as i am lowering my ute, and that looks the perfect height!

i originally had KHFL-47SSL in the front and KHPR-20SL in the back.
KHPR-20SL were about an inch higher than i would have liked so i took the ute to Pedders. they put their lowest vs ute springs in and it dropped about half an inch. this wasn't enough so they put their lowest vl sedan springs in and it dropped it about an inch so i was happy.

if i was you i would just take the ute to Pedders and they could just mix & match the springs until you get the desired ride height.

-------------- bit of an update --------------

decided i'd put together a bit of a turbo kit for myself, been very challenging so far as i've never really had much to do with turbos except getting blown away by them every time i'm at the traffic lights

hoping to double the utes power once it gets tuned, i have 160rwhp atm and because i don't drive the thing that much it feels fast with only 160rwhp lol. i also want to get right into the 12s in the quarter mile in street trim but i think that will be a while and a lot of fine tuning away

and the number plates to go with it...

Looking good mate. Will be good to see when it's all together.

today's progress...

not much really. bought some steam pipe for the manifolds and some exhaust tube for the dump pipe

mounted the gauges in the centre consol. the mounting process went very smoothly but the end result wasn't as good as i had hoped. i'm not emo though so i'll get over it. btw, i'm painting the autometer gauge black like the eboost2. also i'm yet to remove the niko pen marks off the front of the plastic panel.

the number plates arrived today as well. they are top notch. i'm not putting them on the ute until it is boosted though. notice i got the mini number plate as well. only cost $20 so i thought why not.
