- VZ S Ute
Hey guys, i'm new to the forum and also pretty new to the whole commodore world. i've been reading up on the threads (not as a member) for a couple of months now and with all the info i gathered up i set out to find a ute. After many days and nights spent searching i have finally ended up with a white VZ ute. it's a 6 because of the damn P plate laws, but i'm still very happy with it after spending 3 years worth of my savings.
Obviously now i hav no money to spend on her, but hopefully i will do a fair bit of work over the next couple of months and earn enough to get some mods happening.
The utes features (so far, as i bought it) are:
Model: 2005 VZ S
Colour: White
Engine: 3.6L 175 Alloytec (from what i've heard, auto 175, manual 190?)
Engine Mods: None... need some suggestions, i want to do the two hole mod in the coming weeks but i am concerned about an insurance void if am involved in an accident?
Gearbox: 4 Speed Auto
Exhaust: Stock
Diff: Stock (LSD)
Suspension: Lovell springs, lowered but not sure how much
Wheels: 18 inch speedy wheels, not sure what model
Other Extras: Hard top, tray liner
Future mods:
- DONE - 2 hole mod... depending on what you guys say about the insurance concerns.
- I may upsize the rims to 19's
- Lower a bit more
- Get a sound system
- DONE - Exhaust (this will come first i think)... start with a cat back, then possibly later get headers and hi flow cats (depending on money). cat back wise, i have heard great things about both lukey and redback, but i cannot decide between the two, if someone knows could they please answer the following questions: which is cheaper? which is louder? which has better performance gains? and which is better quality?
Cheers guys
