I have finally sold my car!! I managed to get $13,500 for it. Far from wat I wanted but hey I had to get rid of it!! Stay tuned to find out wat my next project is.

I just recently bought a HSV Enhanced 185Kw VS Series ll 5 speed V8 ute!! I bought it on the 10/12/2004. The build number is - HSV 555.

Not long after that I lost my licence for drink driving. But I clearly desereved it as I was doing a bit circle work while I was under the influence!! But I have it back now and am back on the road.

PICTURE'S
Thanks to my lovely girlfriend Steph I have some photos of my ute when I first bought it. It has changed a little since then but at least I have some photo's of it for u all to see. Stay tuned as I will be posting more recent photo's of the ute soon.

MODIFICATIONS
My VS is HSV enhanced thus making the ute fitted with a VS HSV induction system as well as HSV 4 into 1 headers. I bought a K&N air filter which cost around $120 to improve air flow. I got the ute lowered on Super Low King Springs but am leaving the shocks till later on in the piece as the original shocks are doing fine.

FUTURE MODIFICATION'S
My exhaust system will consist of 4 into 1 pacemaker headers with high flow cats and a twin 2.5" exhaust system. I am going to cut the cut the tie hooks off as well as cut the rust out of the tray.

BODYWORK
All the badges, roll bar, nudge bar, cargo tie's have been removed from the ute. Plus the 'S' pack red stripe that goes around the body of the ute has been removed as well. I have also fitted a barely legal window tint. Thanks to my mate Myles the ute is looking better than ever!! I owe ya one Myles!!

LATEST PICTURE'S OF THE UTE
Here are the latest pictures I have of the ute to this present time!! You can see in the photo's some pric tried to rip open the bonnet when it was parked at the shops!! The mongrel wasn't successful, thank god!! I had to get it fixed as a result.

This is me and my mates VR SS at a commodore cruise for charity to the Gold Coast on the 28th of August!! We took a couple of snaps on the way home!!

Quater Mile
On the 22nd of June Willowbank Raceway had a test and tune on so I decided to head out to see what the ute was running. I havent posted the time slips as of yet but I will get them up soon. I ran a 15.24 at 150kph with a reaction time of 0.742. I used my street tyres, had a 80kg weight in the tray and half a tank of fuel still in it. Thus I could of easily run under 15 seconds. I got two runs in with not much difference in each but won both of them. My first run I came up against a V6 VS Berlina and then a V8 VS Calais.

Please come visit soon as I will be posting new pictures of my ute!!

My dream is took get my ute pumping like this 'Charged' 5.7ltr 355/HSV Enhanced VS Commodore UTE!! This car is for sale!! I saw it on carsales.
It has been featured in Street Commodores!!
