Nice ute mate!!
As far as future mods it depends on what you want to achieve.. Typically most start with bolt on mods such as OTR, Underdriven Pulley Kit and Full exhaust.. This coupled with a tune and possibly an auto tune will see a very noticeable difference in the car!!

However if you're interested in Cams you'd save money on tuning getting it all done in one hit.. Also your cam size depend on whether you want to retain the stock stall in the auto.

I did it in two stages.. But love it!

Looks mint the wheels set off the red paint well :yeah: are you going for a hard lid? or is the cash going to be spent on the performance side of things. :driving:

 

[wicksy93]

thanks all,

So far my plans are to start with a full exhaust, OTR and a tune and then look into cams and stall kits..
As for the hard lids im not sure what i want to do.. i saw one yesterday on a green ute that hung over the edges a fair bit which has turned me off..
tough decisions haha

 

[Brenno]

My old man has an auto locking/unlocking hard lid which is completely flat from memory.. I really like it.. I'm not a fan of the ones with humps.. Personal preference though.

 

[wicksy93]

i agree completely.. there is one thats out there that has one wide but shallow hump that looks pretty good.. but like you said id like it to be remote locking and flush with the tubb also..
