    R8 not R9 hit wrong key

    picked her up last thursday and loving it. If any1 went to the compass cup in mount compass you may have seen it there on saturday.

    Shes pretty much stock except for the exhaust and rims.
    Shes auto :( but was cheap and has low as #### kays (83300 when i got her)
    doesnt have leather trim :D hate leather

    Future mods:

    Lower it
    maybe bigger rims
    louder exhaust (pacemaker 4 in 1s into hiflow cats into twin 2 1/2in isnt loud enough for me)
    s2 headlights
    clean the jizz from my mates off the roof haha

    here is a pic from compass cup for starters until i give her another wash and take some shots

    Very nice mate, congrats on the 3rd place.
    Bigger rims & a bit lower would definitely take it up to the next level.
    Cheers

    a shot of the crew from pt elliot show

    [​IMG]

    I got beaten in best street by a really nice old school falcon ute (understandable) and a stock as a rock ba xr6t ute (judge was ford bias)
    BUT...... took out Best Holden :D

    Pt elliot show clashed with bathurst and a few of us didnt want to miss it so a mate brought his genni and i brought the aerial and the 50in from the sunroom so we didnt miss the race :)

    Nice ute man, paint looks like it's been looked after. Going to lower the front a bit? Considering the back gets used a fair bit to carry stuff.
