The Ute Gallery

[blackbettyhsv]

when I work out how to I will reply with my ute as it is also for sale

[JHP1]

I was gagging JAY but your VU does look tuff as nails dont change a thing mate its fine the way it is.

[Souljah]

Those rears are pretty high still!

The fronts are about the same height as SLs (slightly higher):

Although this pics probably useless for you given how low the rear is, makes the can look completely different. It'll show roughly where the front will be.

So if my front sits just a touch higher than yours that will be sweet. You say the rears will be a bit high huh? Would it be wise to get the next lower spring? That would be a superlow yeah?

[gen3ss]

I still reckon the VU has the best flowing shape I own a VY but I think the VU beats it hands down VYs sharp edges on a rounded body dont work from some angles Jay your VU is awesome wanna swap :lol:

Agreed!!!:bravo:

[no_regret]

VU SS UTE that sits perfect! very nice!:)

[VU_SS_UTE]

So if my front sits just a touch higher than yours that will be sweet. You say the rears will be a bit high huh? Would it be wise to get the next lower spring? That would be a superlow yeah?

Yeah it should be slightly higher than mine, to get it level = spot on, go KHRL-46SL (or superlows) as you said.


VU SS UTE that sits perfect! very nice!:)

Cheers mate, its not too bad, i think ill put super super lows in the front soon though, and compress the back ones 1/2 inch or so...

[Souljah]

Yeah it should be slightly higher than mine, to get it level = spot on, go KHRL-46SL (or superlows) as you said.

Well it sounds as though SL rears are the go. Cheers!

Very nice car mate, bring it to the next photo shoot! I'd love to take photos of a nice looking ute :yup:

TOY LS1 edited his post, but that's his ute ^

[VU_SS_UTE]

VU SS UTE what suspension you running on that?

Front springs - KHFL-47SL
Rear springs - KHRL-46SSSL

Stock shocks for now as i didnt have the cash and i figured i may as well wait till they crapped themselves then get some koni's

Cheers.

[BEWARE]

Got some new Intro Billets, I've still got the black ones, but prefer the look of these for more of a tuff streeter as opposed to the black ones which give a more understated, classy look. Got it sitting a little lower now too, custom made wheels allow for more lowering with better clearances!

[jerrel]

they look great.
but then again so did the old ones.

[BEWARE]

thanks, yeah I still like the other ones, thats why I haven't sold them just yet.

[googers]

Beware, ute looks unreal!! Intro (show wheels) are making some of the best wheels around ay. So are they the Vista?
You've done well, in my opinion these look 100 times better than the previous black rims.
Very jealous mate. Wish i had a lazy 5K for wheels!!
Great choice. So, so stylin!

[SARS]

Nice Wheels mate!! I was waiting to see your choice, which was a good one.

[One tonner]

tonner, why dont u drive it anymore?

THat sucks, I completly understand why you "Don't Drive One Any More".

[TimVYSS]

Nice Wheels Beware!! Looks very nice against the Silver.

Is the 5k figure a fair estimate for the price of the wheels?



Tim

[BEWARE]

Googers, thanks mate, they are brilliant wheels, my 2nd set, my last were only 17s on another car, but the difference in fit and drivability with these as opposed to off the shelf wheels is huge, no scrubbing or rubbing and its sitting lower than with the black rims!

Thanks Sars!

TimVYSS, they retail for about $1120 a rim, no tyre, some places will squeeze it down to $1050 if you push....so with tyres maybe around $5k depending on what tyres you go with.

But lets just say I didn't pay anywhere near that :)

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm really happy with them too.

[Souljah]

Very nice lookin yoot there Tomez. What springs you got under it?

[tomez]

I'm running Lovells springs and Monroe gas dampers all round.
The rear springs are HRS-66,but I can't tell you the front springs code number.
It rides very well and isn't so low that I'm scraping the deck over every speed bump.Much better than standard!!! :)

[MIYOOT]

I tried to post a pic of my VZ Yellow Devil Thunder ute but i'm not allowed for some stupid reason, mumble curse.
I have lowered my ute with King springs all round and would like to know if somone can point me in the right direction regarding a kit to reduce the negative camber now on the rear.

[INSINR8R]

very nice ute there mate, I love the rear bar and the dual exhaust. Top Notch

[jhchevy]

hey mate very nice... that rear bar looks sh_t hot :evil:

[KPWISHN]

666 on the plates. It must be an evil ute. :evil:

[googers]

yeah mate, i was kinda scared but stoked at the same time when i got RZD 666. sounds like razard triple 6! Not bad for standard plates though. Not really a fan of personalised either.

Cheers for all the comments guys.

Also just a query for everyone from Melbourne. I workin Dandenong and will probably get someone around here to do my tune and stuff as i can just drop my car off in the mornin and pick it up that afternoon. Can anyone personally recommend anyone. I've spoken to HP-F (amberley autos) who are just up the road. They seem to know whats what and prices are good. Also had the zorst fitted by Chevs performance, they did an excellent job but tunes are pricey. Any comments and recommendations will be very appreciated.

[blackbettyhsv]

tell me how to send pictures & I will put mine in for you

[hutchzvu8]

F1 performance are good and chevy are good too. I had mine done at corsa in sunshine

[blackbettyhsv]

dont be scared of 666 plates I've got that number on all my 4 cars and the harley with different initials, churchy's frown at them when we do weddings but you get that

ENJOY!!!

Whats that back bar? And do they do a VU one?


Hey VU_SS_UTE

Im finally around to lowering the back of my ute some more

I am going to get some made up, but i cant think of how low Kings SSSL's are?

Do you think 4inch lowered springs should be lower than SSSL's??...

how do you messure how low your springs are compared to standard?

thanx dude

jjjjjgsdgvd

Hey champ,

ah i cant remember how much the SSSLs are lowered or what the hub-guard is any more.

If you ring Kings they're pretty helpful, i think it was gary i spoke to originally when I was chasing the SSSLs

Also King themselves do custom springs, so it might be worth getting them to make up a set that 1/2 or 1 inch lower than SSSL cause you know they'll be right then.

im pretty sure the SSSLs are already probably close to 5 inches down from standard just by looking anyway.

ohh cheers dude...

i ended up calling them, and they thought that the VR comodore rear SSL's will make it a little lower than the SSSL's would...

They seem to think hub to guard will be around the 290mm mark... i just finished putting them in, and im on about 310mm... its looking alot better...
Finally tucking some tyre geese! Hopefully they will sag some more soon, might go and grab some bags of sand..

ill get some photo's up soon...

cheers for your help!

Um dude your probably going to hate this but KHRL-46SSL are meant to be higher than the SSSLs we have! I had a set of those before I got the SSSLs....

[DF_51]

Reallllly?

Thats strange... those pictures are with my tools in the tray (say about 50-60kg)

I think it sits low enough now... just had another look, and the guard is about level with the rim

[boyley]

Looks hot mate. Tuff ute

Yeah well they're meant to be, but looking at your pics its certainly lower than the SSSLs are! So I dunno whats going on, maybe the ones they gave you are a different part number cause I definitely had the 46SSLs first.

That's correct.

[googers]

Very clean ute mate. I'm upgrading my 18's soon to 19's and i'm pretty sure that's gonna step my ute a little too high. What spring/shockers you running, love the ride hide. Also hows the bottoming, every speed bump or just steep drives??

Cheers

[hutchzvu8]

[QUOTE=hutchzvu8;814826]my bad boi is an s 2

[DF_51]

thanx vyssbeast for posting them


and yes ssute57l my ute is not an ss, altho i never said it was?


googers: springs are kings SSL's in the front, and in the rear kings SSL (meant for a VR como)... with pedders shocks...
speed bumps are a problem, and steep drive ways need negotiating... but i think its worth it...


VU_SS_UTE: i dont know whats going on with these springs, but its definatly sitting as low as i would want to sit... if i was going to lower it more the front would look higher...

hows your ute going? getting lower? hah

[Jamesford]

"2003 vy maloo R8 with a VZ monaro bonnet , lowerd 35 ml .with crome AMG QUAKES" ouchies thats hotter than hot!

If you want a ute get one! Don't let anyone elses opinion stop you. I'd have one but I have 2 kids so we need the extra doors. I can't wait for them to grow up and leave home lol.

[VU_SS_UTE]

hey WazaSSLS1, what rims are those? they look the goods i reckon.

AMG "Matrix" I think they're called. Cant get them in 20s any more though

[iamhappy46]

sven: I suspect they could be the rim mentioned above but THIS (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=723) rim is very similiar. I am getting these rims in a few weeks and sell off my old 19's

[TASSYVUSS]

AMG Votex actually but then again i could be wrong;)

[VU_SS_UTE]

[MR R33]

The last 2 utes the black and orange sit perfectly. Thats how all utes should leave the factory.

Dave

[ATTNSEEKR]

orange one looks like a cockroach, ass on the ground, front in the air... too low for my likes...;)

[OUTAtheBloo]

I have to agree, the orange ute needs to be picked up on the arse end a bit. I dont mind the colour though, i like something a bit out there :thumbsup:

Dan

[chrism697]

i dont think that orange ute always sits like that, i believe that was when he was changing the springs and didnt have any in when that pic was taken (thats what i remember reading in another thread anyway)......could be mistaken though

[vinoi]

red maloo r8 (1st pic) love it...love the bonnet its mint!

[BLAZEY]

this is how it sits now :) great hight not too low not too high

[WazaSSLS1]

good to see good mates enjoy beautiful weapons like those.
look great together like that.

[ShiZzLe]

Oh, nice nice, this is why Ute's (with less bodywork and glass etc in manufacturing) are so outrageously expensive, because its a trend a culture. i wanted a Ute but out of my price range :(

one day ill get myself the Maloo, love' em

[ssute57]

Only mods so far is a Sureflo 3.5" catback. I will be altering the ride height with some Superlows and Bilstein shocks in the not to distant future :nyuk:[/QUOTE]

How's it going,

I was thinking of the 3.5" cat back from sureflow. How loud is it and have you lost any power as I have read that you can.

You have to buy a different fuel tank to really dump the crewmans in the rear, as the tail shaft hits if you go too low with the standard fuel tank. Other than that its just piss the bump stops off and get the leafs reset.

[Fosters]

great ute bloke , wouldnt be any good in the paddock thou lol,

Those are ssl kings in the front and adjustibles on the rear. Rear wheels are 20x10" running 275/35/20 fronts are 8.5" wide running 225/35/20

Looks great..but how the hell did he get away with that?
Hes got 20 x 10" in the back with 275/35? what the??

I've heaps of trouble with mine scrubbing, and hes is SSL? Man!

Ive got 20 x 9.5" 245/35 in back with Kings SL and it scrubs like a mofo. Got the gaurds rolled and even had to get a panelbeater to cut the whole inner lip down a bit...its dosnt scrub anymore..well just the TINIEST bit.....but hes got wider wheels/tyres and he dosnt have a prob???? Geez whats hes secret?? lol
Looks good though. Im at a loss....i dunno why all these guys rides have great height, with 20" wheels yet mine had heaps of dramas and still isnt 100%. hmmm..

[iamhappy46]

Getting the correct offset is the key to fitting wide rims.

He has had the gaurds rolled really tight and jacked out too. Removed the plastic inner guards and did a bit of slight moding to the inner guard itself, And sorry the tyres are 275/30/20 not 35 series checked again today. But yes I think offset is the key. Also the part where the bumper bolts on by the mud flap had to ground away abit. Doesnt rub at all he says and he drives the s&*t out of it. Loads it up with stuff too.

yeh he sounds like he did some tinkering with it. I had my gaurds rolled, removed the plastic inner guards and cut the lip in tighter as well. I also took down where the screws go into the 1/4 panel from the rear bumper....it dosnt scrub much, but with some weight in the back its a touch rubbing. I havnt tried to pump out my gaurds at all..heard it looks crappy. But yeh, looks the good though :D

[googers]

Hey, the 20 x 10's look mad. Stance from the back must look tuff as ay.
So all you guys that've had their guards rolled - Where did you's get them done and was there any repainting involved and if not - did they use the special rolling tool i've seen.

Cheers fellas.

Everyone keep the the sick pics cumin.

[scotty333]

I got mine done at Wholesale Suspension in Penrith NSW. No they only repaint if the paint cracks from rolling incorrectly and not being heated right. Yeh they used their special rolling gizmo on mine. Looks good, nice clean job.

[googers]

Yeah sweet. Anyone recommend anywhere in & around Melbs?

[CV860L]

Here is my VY SS S2 Ute which I no longer have.............was a cool ute though.
When I sold it, it had lightweight OZ Racing Rims with Bilstein shocks/struts, Mafless tune, full system with 1 3/4 extractors and CAI.
These pics were taken with less than 200km on the clock the day I picked it up.

Being a passionate fan of Holdens and utes I have just recently purchased a 02 VY Maloo. Now I eager to change the current bonnet to a VZ bonnet with the vents. What is the better bonnet to go with - steel or fibreglass? Are the fibreglass bonnets as reliable as a steel one?

vz bonnets dont have vents, and i think you would have to change the whole front to put a vz bonnet on, guards,front bar,and bonnet,or are you talking a vz monaro bonnet ,they dont just drop on either

You copied the weblink to the photobucket site, not the actual photo.

When looking at a photobucket picture, on the bottom right of the screen is 4 options. Click on the bottom one, it will copy it for you and then just paste that straight in with no need for IMG or URL tags.
