It's not lowered yet ... guess it looked low cos it was parked next to an RTV ... LOL.

I had someone ask me if they were 18"s ... I put my stock 16" alloys next to them and the 16's look puny ... must be the shape of the wheel or something ... I don't know.

After the TS50 front and Pursuit side skirts go on ... I will lower it to a sensible level. I still need it for courier work ... I can't deck it.

I had more people comment on it than I was expecting as well.

Although there were more people commenting on the purple 378ci V8 Capri drag car that was parked next to me.

Yes, that car was amazing.

It was frustrating how often the cars would become completely covered in dust and require a clean... I felt bad watching the Mustang with its top down accumulate several inches of dust at the end of your row.

I also liked the Harley Davidson F150 that was close by too!

The dust was horrid ... lucky for me the ute is white ... but for all the darker car ... it was very noticeable.

The 'stang was nice ... that F150 was damn cool.
Also liked the BA camper ute as well.

The dust got worse at the end of the day as people started leaving.

There's quite a bit of work there ... I think it currently outs out 180rwkw (Stage 5 I think) ... there was a list of his mods on his boards that he had on display.

Will try and get a full listing for your though.

He is on www.fordmods.com though.

A few people on there have the Stage 3 (160kW) and Stage 4 (170kW) kits on A-Series and E-Series vehicles.

The ITS car is definately cool. I love the Stephen King clown on the bonnet.

The Harley F150 was also cool.

Yeah twin throttle bodies.

Mechan1k, here is a photo that someone (Abraxas) sent me of my car, I am pretty sure you can see your ute in it, and also the Capri next to your ute! It has to be your ute with the Territory wheels on it, this shows we were very close together!

I call it the Autosalon special. It's already got the pink paint and the white interior, just add airbrushing and 20-inch blings wheels and you've got yourself a future Autosalon champion. :
