thanks guys.....sadly I sold the xr8, but hoping I can get the ute to look tough/classy like I did with the 8.....

Did you order the wheels again?

It's ok, I won't think you are copying me!!!

What did you outlay for the hardlid ?

The ute and xr8 both look mint.

What are the plans for the ute?

Very nice mate, both cars that is. Enjoy

worm, nah mate havent re ordered them yet, will do next month.....does look like im copying you this time, ohwell you copied me in the first place, so its all even now haha

thanks for the comments guys, plans for the ute are: XR8 bonnet, Polished intercooler-not sure what brand yet, exhaust, tune, injectors, intake, 20's. nothing major, would like a reliable 300rwkw as its a daily...

basically just want it to look tough but not go over the top with it....

oh, and normally the hardlids are around 2300 or 2400 fitted with the lid lok system, but I got a much better deal than that cheers

Sh** hot ute mate love the lid!! shoulda got that on mine !!

thanks buddy

Mate that ute is as hot as sh*t!!! The wheels on it now look sick..

well a tiny update.

got a bluepower airbox a week or so ago....feels alot quicker now

also today, finally got the bits together to make my intake silencer replacement pipe. except I need one more clamp lol

ended up going with 4inch piping then reducing down to 3inches onto the turbo mouth.

car has a deeper sound to it now, and spool noise has increased alot. sounds great

will be getting the aluminium pipe powder coated black for a more factory look......

its a great mod to open up the fg I reckon. very happy how it turned out. took a bit of tweaking to get the ally pipe right, but it turned out well

anyway here is some pics......
