New Ute...what To Mod....

[Josh636]

Hi guys

Im not actualy a owner as yet, just waiting for the car to arrive at the dealer....oh the pain of waiting....

so the car is a octane craig lowndes manual xr6t.....before the car has even arrived I am already gettin the mod bug...first off I have to say I currently own a turbo r31 skyline, external wastegate big fmic 3k stally shift kit, all the gear...so the decision to buy the ute was to get a legal car that wont cost me my licence again and just enjoy a nice quickish stocker......but as if goes once you get the taste for speed you are addicted......

so im already got my eyes set on a set of verde kaos 20s(or alike), I really would like 20x10s on the back but not sure if that will still be legal(non legal means no insurance).....then on the list is the usual zorst, cooler, fuel, tune, valve springs.....will be happy with 300kw....

im not to fussed about warranty, I figure if something breaks its gona be my fault anyways and I would rather spend money to get someone better to replace it rather than just replace it with the same item.....

so hopefully it will be here soon and get some pics up with my 20s:D

if anyone could post up what is within the law with 20s and how much it can be lowered, that would be great.....

cheers

The spolier is a bit wobbly at 100ks...cant see much out the back either but that's ok.... got about 300ks on it now:D

pics were at springfield lakes.....

kinda like the nice quietness, but that will get boring after no time.....

cooked the clutch tonight a bit, did a big line lock and the clutch was smoking....oops

stuck a bov on this arvo but didnt really make that much noise....need more boost

niiiiice!!

so its been a week and the ute has just clocked over 3050ks, had its first inspection today.

only problem was the tub/side skirt infront of the rear wheel was lose but all sweet now.....

I picked the car up in brisbane and drove it back to mt isa, so that's why its done 3000ks in 7 days, I was surprised the oil and filter doesnt get changed for ages.....I droped the oil at 1000ks before the long trip home anyways.

topped it out at 230 on the way up too....on a private road of course

Ordered my chromies today:D the rear tyres are already down to the wear markers....

put a pod on and disconnected the bov, sounds good now but just needs an exhaust and a tune now.

also got some 15% tint last week looks good now....

really brought the car with the idea to just leave it standard but that lasted about 2 days.....

pretty happy with it so far....

Rear tyres already gone. You must have been doing some circle work on this private road?
