Yeah I do love the ss bar and thinking about the maloo bar etc would make it a bit tacky , just want something to make it "pop" abit more in the front lol

Leaving the ladder in there certainly makes it pop :)

2000 Vs Ute
standard SS Bumper.

can fit a lot under the bonnet of a VZ, so more stealth by not having it out there.
if you do get a blower, many of the newer ones don't whine, so also less noticeable.
Harrop 2.4L with the OTR and MAF would suit this awesomely, with engine covers you'de almost not even know its there unless you know cars
if you do freeway driving your economy will be better aswell, although town driving blows that out of proportion :p

if it doesn't stand out, but has a bit of noise about it (like most do), it would be perfect for a daily that will pull hard when wanted :thumbsup:
that's what I'd do anyway.

yeah would deffently be a top mount charger , I wouldnt mind to much whine . I like the sound haha . Plus this will be a weekender so wont get daily regret of the noise .
Yeah my step dad had a vz crewman cross8 with the top mount and that thing hammered with the charger
I cant wait to see someone i know with one show me theres ;p

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahah votes are in going to be keeping/going with the standard SS bumper :p



Already started looking for cheap sub $6k wagons and theres a few out there so ill just save my pennies for a month then buy the wagon and the ss can go under covers for abit then probly get a full respray . Shes racking up to many k's driving to the city areas each day and fuel is costing heaps . And getting trashed in the progress (stupid ladders )

Forgot to mention that its running a OTR now too , I wanted to use my duspeed from my old ss but I cant because of needing the MAF for the MAF tune and it doesnt fit . So got one of those cheap Ramjet clones , seems to work pretty good.

I had a dream the other night that i bought this car off you. Then got deported...

Hahahah wtf lol weird as dream

Yeah was only going to be temporary to see what black rims would look like , plastidip looks good for about the first few weeks then in fades/gets dirty and turns a yuck off black colour so yeah agree with you on that one .
Makes the car look so clean now with the silver wheels . I keep staring at it . Probably because last time i had them silver the car wasn't lowered in the front so now it looks of its tits with the front and rear lowered and the silver wheels making it pop

I agree with the plasti dip but not on those rims! they look mint now :) keep it up :)

Cheers mate , cant wait to buy a daily then the real fun can happen with this beast
