    ute register

    Welcome mate. Also had an eye for the 86 very lovely looking car just a shame about the power. You'll enjoy the ute I know I have
  2. Got my car back today. She got a dayum fine ass
  3. Enjoy guys, I'd come along but I'm feeling fkn lazy this weekend and looking forward to doing next to nothing for it's entirety. Ps. Car goes in on Wednesday to get the rear bumper sorted after the nudge last week. Looking forward to having it all shmexy again.
  4. I got a g27 the other day and loving it so far. Got it 2nd hand but looks new the brake pedal has the upgraded spring. Very stiff. Also has had the clutch spring swapped with old brake spring. So different to drive with a wheel. Will add u on steam Tom my nick is m1rkz
  5. On ya stever hope all is well for them. Certainly would've been stressful but at least you were there to help
  6. Yeah got his name and number and took photo of his license so have his address etc too. Only thing I didnt do was get the rego number of the car he was driving. Will sms him tomorrow to get number plate from him and a quote for getting it fixed near work.
  7. Ripper, had someone bang into the rear end of the ute on the way home tonight. Damage doesn't look TOO bad, spewing I didnt have the towball in though, would've probably saved it. Mainly a light scuff along the back bumper, a decent dent in the haymen reece towball slot thingy, and another couple of scuffs/scratches on the rear bumper in spots. Guy doesn't have insurance apparently, he said for me to get some prices to get it sorted though, we'll see how this pans out.
  8. Yeah I'd heard that as well, which was nearly pushing me toward the PS4 version. I'm looking into wheels, really not sure what I want to get though. I'm thinking PS4/PC Compatible would be nice, but at the same time I don't currently own any PS4 games that require it (unless I buy this again for PS4 for some reason). The T500RS looks good, I like the pedal set etc, but the price at $7-800 ish isn't very appealing. The T300RS also looks interesting, but the pedals are sh*t, only having the brake/gas pedals (Though I can easily upgrade everything on this down the track if I got serious into sim driving).The G27 looks good too and comes with the stick shift as well, which the others don't have, but isn't compatible with PS4.
  9. So after looking at some reviews, screenshots and vids etc I decided to go buy the game on Steam. I purchased for PC because it appeared to be the superior version, and in future it wouldn't surprise me if there's mods and other wonderful things that the community put into it. Although I find it quite playable on controller, I'm thinking this game is going to be better suited to a wheel set up which I'm beginning to look into. Anyone else playing the game, have any thoughts or want to join up for sessions? Add me on Steam m1rkz.
  10. So the other day I was priced up for a 3.5" cat back Xforce system for around $1550 fitted. Looking at Best Mufflers I could pick up the system for around 1k + freight. How hard is it to fit at home yourself? Do you have to weld on the tips? & does it come with any gaskets or anything you'd need to fit? Anyone got one of these and can u advise if there's drone on a single? Is mild steel a bad thing (other than looks) or perfectly fine, would you get a different note and does it really not last long? (exhaust shop was telling me it'd cost me like $200 difference between s/s and mild, but I can see on the best mufflers site you can obviously save several hundred).
  11. Love the detail you go into. Great read mate and nice pick up on the Brembos.
  12. Think I saw the lucky strike bike a couple weeks back.
  13. Lol nice one. Just spoke to an exhaust place regarding the centre muffler removal thing I was on about a while back. He was telling me that if u go cat back it wont require a tune or anything, again I thought it would do... can anyone confirm ?
  14. I gotta change out my washer fluid. Smells like complete ass. I think when xft topped it up either the chemical they put in has mixed poorly with what was in there or ita just water that has since gone poorly.
  15. That's my car filthy tbh. It had a week's worth of cement dust, rain spots etc all over it
  16. That actually sounds amazing. I'd love to start up the bike and rev sh*t out of it and 'pretend' I'm working on it and leave it going for ages, or crank my own music up in retaliation, however they live in a house on a block of land, I live in a unit that's got other unit's surrounding it which is located at the back of their property so I'd do nothing more than piss off my own neighbours who whilst I have nothing to do with, are what I'd consider for the most part 'good neighbours'.
  17. What's pissing me off... Neighbours sh*tty, sh*tty bollywood music they like to crank up relatively often (not as often as some people but still a good couple times a month for hours on end). Fkn jerks.
  18. Pic from the weekend whilst shoveling dirt. Thought the car looked awesome in the dying day light
  19. Yeah wow, didn't realise the paint was so bad. In the pictures I never really took close notice of anything or noticed it until the thread with the pics of the chips missing. Hopefully they fix it up for ya mate, should be a sweet ride with the work you've put into it if they do it.
  20. Cheers guys. No plans as yet, just randomly searched Ebay and saw a couple for around the $500 mark and thought..."fk, that'd save me a few hundred bucks", but then I was wary of whether it'd be the right one, so on and so forth, so I think I agree with you all that I should just go straight to the tuner and get one through them. No plans as yet, kinda just planning ahead, and always have in my mind that I need to take the plunge on one of those damned things when I can afford to.
  21. Hey guys, Are the SCT X4's made vehicle specific or is it one size fits all and they're just programmed by tuner to suit ?
  22. Might be keen to come along for this
  23. Sorry guys, I missed it. I sms'd the guy after the ad was up for 4hrs (saw it whilst I was out) and he sms straight back saying it'd just gone :( Ralph, I'm in Forrestfield.
  24. Tuff Tonneaus have FG ones for $550 it seems. Still pricey. I saw a few soft ones (back when I was only playing with the idea), on Gumtree for only 1-200ish. I could possibly put it up on gumtree that I'll trade my FPV logo one plus sports bar for a flat soft top + maybe $100 my way. Figure the sports bars etc would usually come at a higher price. The cover itself has no actual damage, but it looks like it may have been rubbed up together at some point before I've had it because some of the white from the logo has come away slightly and there's sections of the black that have minor white marks on it which I assume is from the logo. Probably when Ford had it tucked away for storage I'm guessing. I've already got cross bars (I assume they would be the same given mine's a soft top, just designed for sport bar use), so the plastic supports and bars aren't needed.
  25. Thanks guys! I might try and contact them tomorrow to see what they're looking at for the good condition one. Failing that, anyone on here want to swap for my sports bar and cover plus some cash my way ? Could be a way to go also perhaps. Edit: already gone, the ad's been taken down already! Fk must've been just in the past 2 hours.
