    VS 5L T5 Ute
    Vs Utility bought it two weeks ago. Pretty happy with it apart from the paint being not that great.. Its on LPG/Petrol so it's relatively good on fuel.

    Manual 5 speed
    New Exedy clutch

    5litre V8
    Extractors
    Twin cats, twin exhaust exiting both sides at rear
    CAI
    LPG/Petrol

    3.08 LSD

    VT twin piston brake upgrade
    Slotted rotors F+R
    Braided lines
    Bendix pads

    18" Monaro rims *so I've been told*
    Lowered

    Think thats about it..

    List of mods i plan to do early 2011
    3.9 diff gears
    tight lsd or mini-spool
    Mild cam upgrade + associated valve springs, shave heads, tune etc
    Change rims to 16-17" (not big on the look of the 18's+ tyres are expensive)
    New slightly taller springs w/shocks to suit (too low atm!)

    Will post pics sometime!
