    Haha yeah I know Jay the utes really are grouse, but a sedan would be better for me coz it'd make it a lot easier carting people around and carrying objects that cant just be lobbed into the back of the ute and left to slide around.

    I'll see where he and I are both at, but I dare say i'd look quite good in such a nice car ;)

    Sedan = practical = win
    Ute = fun and semi practical = eh

    Hama's Vs will be a nice pickup.
    But how is a Ute not practical? Isn't that what they're made for?

    Haha it's practical if carting things around all the time is what you do.

    I don't use the back a fair bit.. Cabin is always filled with stuff.. A sedan would suit me better and there aren't many better than Hama's as an example so why not take the chance to purchase it?

    Looking for extractors, don't wanna spend a ton but do want abit more kick.

    Cheaper brands okay or should i stick with proper paceys?

    How long have the pacies been on the car frogsta? I'd be keen if you'd post them, if they're decent.

    By the way soslowbro the red really suits those wheels! Looks awesome man.

    Still waiting because the mechanics supplier is a ######## and forgot to send the part.. 5pm is pickup time.. This last hour will take forever :( But he's pretty happy with everything else exhaust wise on the car so this should liven it up a little and be decent.

    Will get a vid on my phone and upload it somehow :S
