Nice ute mate, looks real clean how did you go about redoing your rooflining mines currently stuck to the roof with safety pins lol. also your ute sits about the same height as mine in the rear im guessing it is rough as f**k did having stockies on the back make the ride any better?

Thanks mate, there is a how to in the how to section wich is realy helpfull. Follow that and you will be right :) I havent seen many as low as mine in the back. I have cut the bumpstops off completly including the bracket holding them on. The shocks are monroe lowerd shocks and they know bottom out so im after some with a shorter stroke then that. Stockies dont make much of a difference.

Heres a pic of how the rear sits mate (exuse the primer)

long time no update

Well alot has and is changing with the ute. I have moved back to my parents house so i know have internet again but no were to work on ute comfortably :(

ok well were do i start.

getrag has been swapped for a T5 out of a vr ute.
Mirror balanced flywheel ( L67 flexplate )
HD clutch
Exhuast has been done. Pacemaker extractors into twin 2 1/2 inch with twin magnaflow 100cpsi cats, into a muffler then single 3' out the back with a supercat resinator.
ZZP performance 3.3' 11psi pulley
Full throttle customs CIA with 4" K&N monster pod hahah
Fully rebuilt mini spooled diff with 3.9 diff gears out of a r31 wagon

Its sitting out the front all lonerly with no front bar because im waiting for my crystal head lights to arrive so i can install them then fit the front bar. After that i need a new bonnet+ side skirts then fit new bumperretts and she is off for qoutes for the re spray :)

Also took the ute down to justin at bye performance in welshpool ( top bloke ) Put her on the dyno to see what she made.

Thanks mate :) fuel pump is on the cards know

Yeh I no the feeling, when I first got the exhaust done, long story but it was made without cats or a resi so around 2500 it would get this horrible alloytec sound except 4x as loud and would scare old grannys hahah sounds alot better know and the extra back pressure seams to have helped to
