Spent about 5hrs today washing and then giving it a small polish job.

Here are some pics of my 12 sec VY SS UTE. :D

Blue tinge in the lights including foggies from Ultra White Globes, I removed the chev grill off the front because it was chipped to buggery from rocks, I will eventually remove the rear one and put the holden badge back :)

Hey dudes, have had a few requests to see what mine looks like, so here it is,

2004 VZ SS Ute M6. Only mods so far are King Springs front and rear, Pacemaker Tri-y's, hi-flow cats, and a custom Sureflo dual 2.5" mild steel exhaust. Will be travelling to Sams in a month or so for a tune, cant wait :)

Nothin special, but i have fun in it :D

http://www.streetlight.com.au/images/uterus_02.jpg

[LOWKEY]

Bring on more VZ SS pics please!

alexcs - what king springs are in yours?

[alexcs]

King springs

Front: KHPR-19
Rear: KHRL-127SSL

i opted for a slightly stiffer front, but if you prefer a bit softer ride there are less stiff front springs. in an ideal world i would have gotten shortened shocks as well, but dont have the money for that atm.

[LOWKEY]

cheers thanks for that. the rear definatly looks good :)

cashie - where did u buy the lower front grille?

Hmm, now where have I seen that ute before :lol:

[Maccas]

My Vs Series III SS ute, HSV Enhanced, my true pride and joy. At the moment this car is very stock and i only have a few small mods planned for it, these are a new exhaust system- pacemaker extractors, high flow cats and 2 1/2 stainless single or dual not sure yet. another mod that is planned is to put the 17inch version of my mags on so it still looks stock. Currently all i have done is put a new stereo in it clarion head unit and clarion 6" in the doors. this was one of the very last versions of this ute to be ever made it was built on November 25th 1999, as it is one of the last i was lucky enough to get the vt engine instead of the vs. It is only just going on to 72000km

so here she is

Mate, ... nice wheels ! :cool:

[blk vy ss ute]

i second that,what brand are they?

[Tonner]

I wonder why no one fits the Monaro bonnet to the VZ SS,

[BigJim]

I got the wheels from the promo vehicle that apparently had these specifically made for it from the company that made the wheels. They are called ATS. 19 x 8. They told me they are the only set in existance and dont damage one as i wont get another.

This is what they told me. i have not seen any like them before but i liked the wheels they had on there ute and asked if i could by them, they said ok and the rest is history.

[BigJim]

i found where the wheels come from. its from germany and you can still get them. they are called ats aquilla light alloy

[alexcs]

I wonder why no one fits the Monaro bonnet to the VZ SS,

its on my list of stuff to do, just down the bottom :)

[Tonner]

its on my list of stuff to do, just down the bottom :)
I am starting to think they may not fit neatly at the headlight

[alexcs]

yeah my concern is that the piping in the bumper that continues from the cuts in the bonnet will jut out further than the monaro bonnet. the curve may peak over the headlight, by how much im not sure. i believe the only change to the headlight was the internal angle was made more vertical from vy, so it may not be a problem. the more bullnosed bumper may be the problem.

are they 18's tlr? how does the ride compare to the 17's?
Hi alexc, yes they are 18's. I also had 18's on the vy ute and compared to 17's the ride quality is about the same, with less tyre roll on cornering.

[dabaz]

Hi Guys,

I thought that I would post my ute onto here for everyone to look at, let me know what you think.

They are BSA 291's. 19x8" Shadow chrome. Tyres are Falken Azenus 245/35/19 and imo they are the best tyre ive ever driven on in the wet!!! Not the cheapest tho. Also chose em cos the style of the tyre was really neat and not too chunky. Had Wanli on there before and they were the worst tyre ive ever driven on!!! UGLY AS HLL TOO!! Really chunky.

Cheers

Scott

[bambam]

Looks hot dude!! You got a camber kit in the rear of that thing? Looks like wheels are toed in a fair bit from the side shot!! ;)

What mods u done engine wise?

[LOWKEY]

no mods, no camber kit, just as mentioned above.

going for full di filippo system shortly

[bambam]

Mate, do yourself a favour and get out and get a camber kit fitted asap!! Theyre only about $250 or so fitted but thats a helluva lot cheaper than 2 new 19" tyres in 6 months time!!! :)

Hi guys,

Just to clarify, I am not dissing the fact that there is a ford on the thread, I just think that considering that this is a holden forum I am of the opinion that it should be holden owners only on here. I am sure that i would cop the same treatment if i were to post my car onto the ford forum. The XR6T looks great and your lucky to have a car that looks and goes like your does don't get me wrong but there is a time and a place for everything IMHO.

That's the difference between this forum and FF, no one here minds as we are all car enthusiasts. You will find there have been three Ford utes posted and no one else has questioned thier right to do so. You will also find other threads on Ford perfomance cars that are discussed quite extensively, and openly, with no more than the odd Ford standing joke, as you could expect:D

[Steve'sR8]

Well said Cat755,

the "opposition" are much more openly discussed on this forum without the narrow minded bogan mentality shown on other forums, which shows that you guys are performance car enthusiasts that drive Holdens, not sheep blindly following a particular brand & criticising other brands with little or no first hand experience to back it up.
For what it's worth guys, well done, it's nice to be able to discuss the good & bad points of all brands without the childish sh1t slinging.

Having said that, there's nothing wrong with a bit of harmless banter between camps as long as long as it doesn't deter people from sensible discussion.

Cheers,
Steve.

[ExAreSix]

Just to add to the point Cat755 and Steve'sR8 made. You are correct in what you say, when you mention FF.

But not all Ford forums are so one-eyed.

FF I don't frequent much, because of just that reason. It's full of immature mindless Holden bashing, and it shits me no end.

I'm a frequent browser of this forum. I spend 5 times the amount of time here as I do at FF. Because it is worth my time. Contains a wealth of knowledge on LS1/2 and anything by the 'General'. (Hey, I like to keep up with the goings on of the 'enemy') ;)

And on the flip of the coin, not all Holden forums are worth visiting. SC forums are rubbish. One eyed. Full P platers bragging about beating a TX3 off the lights in their fully schick VN. :slap:


And to compare to the Ford forum I do frequent, we had a similar thread to this one. Some of our regular members, who are un-ashamed at showing the Lion on their heart in a Ford forum, posted pics of their rides. It was accepted by 95% of the members partaking in the thread, and the pictures were appreciated.

Keeps up the quality of the forums eh, just like this one.

Anyway, that's my 2c.

[YLD57L]

Keeping your mind open is the key, people are pregidous creatures naturally but if you are narrow minded you may just miss out on something...

Keeping your mind open is the key, people are pregidous creatures naturally but if you are narrow minded you may just miss out on something...

Exactly, i have a Harley & a Jap bike which may seem strange, but i really enjoy riding both of them depending on my mood. They havn't done many km's since i got my Maloo though.......funny that.

[mavss]

Hey all.

Cut the chin waggin and start posting some pics please :)

Isn't that what the gallery threads are all about.

[ACT_Cross8]

Here's another of my Cross8. (I'm only half way to getting the 18 inch wheels on). There's a fair difference in the extra inch, fills the guards out just enough I reckon. Any bigger and I couldn't affor the tyres :( .

I just need to get the Avalanche brakes fitted once the other 4 tyres arrive (this was the spare just to see what it looks like), and then I think I'll stop spending money on it...

http://www.haroc.1337thing.com/ls1/ACT_Cross8/NewWheel.JPG

[SENATOR_VX]

This is proving a popular thread. Some off topic items but good for the most.

Not much in the way of side dumps on them. I saw one in Sydney a Red Maloo about 2 Years ago that turned my head. Was a Gem and a half.

Thanks to you guys (And Girls if there are any) who are posting your pics it is great to see the utes.

I know its fairly stock but thought I would put it up and get suggestions on what exhaust i should put on and when I lower it (very soon) what the best ride height tends to be:stupid:

The best ride height is simple - ON ITS GUTS!!!

That ute is niiiice, great ride... Im not a fan of the rims but they do match your car well.

[JHP1]

Yeah Id like some VY Grange wheels the 5 spoke ones but in chrome. But 5-6 gs plus chroming ahhh these ones where close in shape and style. If you think my utes nice wait till I can post up pics of my Stato. P.S. pics still dont seem to be working properly. Should I cover my No. Plates?

[Haroc]

Ive never seen the point of covering plates, i mean a ute like thats going to stand out like dogs balls anyway :) But if you want them removed im sure Voodoo can arrange it.

[JHP1]

Nah its O.K. I just worry about Mr Plod sometimes already get enough attention!

[BEWARE]

All I see is a front on photo....can't even see what wheels they are?!?!?!

[JHP1]

Dont know what happened to pics seem to work n then dont best pic of front on corner has dissappeared along with the interior shot?

[alexcs]

is it just me or do nearly all of these photos not work?

[BEWARE]

no not just you

[JHP1]

No not just you at all whats the go Mods? Any idea why this is happening?

[alexcs]

i assume its either the OP not knowing how to code the url in, or the server theyre on doesnt allow hotlinking.

I couldn't agree more!!!!! Putting that upgrade kit onto my ute was the best money that I ever spent on it!!!!!!:woohoo:

[JHP1]

Hey BEWARE yeah its bagged Airide technologies in Melbourne great guy great quality kit. I originally bought a kit from Burnin Customs in ueensland they sell Chassis Tech gear my opinon is "DO NOT BUY THIS" it is not legal it cant be engineered it is absolute garbage leaked from day one terrible ride quality $240 extra for a "wiring kit which consisted of a blister pack of alligator clips and a roll of speaker wire. Airides kit came with a proper loom everything marked photographic instructions everything you need in the kit nothing extra to buy. Took half as long to install as the Chassis tech stuff even though I had to pull out that garbage and throw it in the bin. So yes its bagged properly now, only mod was to cut rear spring horns (the locator for the rear coil spring) and bolt in a top plate for reinforcement. Struts just swap staight over run air lines and install compressor, solenoids and tank in tray. Done :D

[budgeman]

Great Ride.....:burnout:

[barcode]

JHP1
If i can ask how much did the kit cost and is it fully engineered
what is the ride quality like compared to coils
i have considered this but dont want a crap ride as i use mine as a daily driver and also want to keep it totaly legal

[JHP1]

Yeah Barcode I had the same concerns Airide in Melbourne are the guys to talk to . Yeah fully engineered ride quality is better than FE2 suspension that I had B4 Naturally if its on its guts it rides hard if you have it pumped to around 50-60 PSI it rides good. Mine is a daily driver trips away up to Hotham last week 4hrs no dramas. Like I said though be careful what you buy there is a lot of garbage out there. Only complaint I would have is when its real low it gets a little washy in the rear its not as firm as when i had super low springs under it. Kit cost me around $3000 plus engineering plus install if you cant do it your self. Takes a weekend to install in between a few beers fairly easy really. Hope this Helps

[aperfectcircle]

I wound if it could be done in WA

[MRSS]

If you think my utes nice wait till I can post up pics of my Stato.

Could you post these up in the lux-o-barge area? im killing to see them. That has to be one of the nicest utes i have ever seen. I love air bags with a passion. does anyone know if there legal in qld? im sure i was told they wernt.

[JHP1]

I'll send pics of my barge to VoDoo and see if he can post them up. Its still a work in prgress though no bags for this one I bought it for the girlfriend to drive and the airbags are all too hard for her. She just pumps them up all the way when she gets in my ute :doh: I'll see if Voodoo can pt them in the Bargee gallery. Thanks for the compliments its actually my work ute Im a plumber bitch to keep clean and straight in my trade.:driving:

[MRSS]

Thanks for the compliments its actually my work ute Im a plumber bitch to keep clean and straight in my trade.:driving:

That has to be one tuff work ute mate :drool:

[JHP1]

Yeah cop a lot from other tradies you know that old chestnut "Geez you must charge heaps!" Gives me the S#ITS "No its just that I work 7 days a week and I get called out to work any hour of the day or night dips#it". The main reason I did the bags was cause I work at old farmhouses and stuff just blow it up easy as. Used to have real low springs, actually the ones in the stato now, used to scrape on everything they seem ok on the stato but. Not having extractors and the 20's probably help. But thanks again thats why we build these things isnt it. :yup:

[MRSS]

How nice does the stato and the ute look sitting together. Thats very impressive hey. What rims are on the stato?

[JHP1]

Theyre Gestalt 20s bit ricey but my girlfriend picked them I bought it for her and she will be driving it mostly.

[MRSS]

Here is a ute with the new Jestalt 3's on it. Im asuming the stato has the Jestalt 2's on it. Cheers!

[JHP1]

Yeah thats right they've been around for a while mine are the older model.

[BEWARE]

Aren't they actually Gestalt Virouge GV1s on the stato, the Alexia Jestalts 2 and 3s are another make altogether...nice for a bling rim!

[YLD57L]

The bling rims suit the Stato quite nicely. Fits in with the car's the luxury intent.

[JHP1]

Yeah I think they are the Gestalt Virouge dont mind them just not my favourite pick I think theyd suit a WH better rounder lights etc

this is correct, not sure why the forums doesnt like it, can anyone suggest another file host that this forums will allow other users to open the file without having to copy and paste the link into a new explorer?

BAWARE,

I Think your new Thunder ute looks awsome. I'm waiting on delivery on a silver SS Thunder later in the month. I can't wait. l was just wondering what you did with the suspension, whats springs etc. I'm looking at a ride height just like yours?
