Its nothing special yet :P but then again i am only 17 and such am not made of countless $$$. Any tips on what you guys reckon should be done and in what order would be great. I myself am interested in Lowering It(Any Tips?), Installing a Stereo(Loud and plenty of Bass, Tips?) and an Exhaust of some type(Sounds mean but doesn't brake the bank). If anyone has any more idea's of what can and should be done please speak up and as you can probably see with the above the cheaper the better :P and anything but the mags and tyres as their expensive :P.

Thanks
Matt

Hey Mark,
Nice ute for your first car! congratulations :goodjob:.
For V6 mods you can't go past King Springs SL, Pacemaker Extractors with a 2.5" exhaust system (even have rear resonator removed for extra noise :)) get a OTRCAI and maybe a tune? those are pretty much the basic mods and won't cost you a shitload. I think for my car that set me back around the 1200$ mark. You can also get some Nolathane bushes all round for a stiffer ride! and maybe some Diff gears. That's all i can think off that is affordable lol:rofl: enjoy the car and let us know how you go.

Here's our new ute. Pick her up next week. Thanks Clay. Plans are upgraded ice and some semi slicks.Not much else can do.

Nice buy mate, seen it up for sale. :goodjob:

My Son and I went to Bathurst for the supercheap 1000, IT WAS GREAT.
One of the highlights was getting the engine cover to my ute signed by Skaife and Todd Kelly. Skaife because he is a legend and Todd because he is a fellow maloo driver.

82sik that is one hell of a ute...looks awsome. Must be quick.:goodjob:

Love some of the latest utes guys!!

Bit of a favour to ask that is sort of off topic, I'm working on a template for the VE Ute atm and I was wondering if someone could send me the measurements for the length and height of the side skirts off a VE SS???
