Hey guys, this is the new ride for a while.

AUII XR8 Ute, 5 Speed

Factory fitted Bodykit, Momo Wheel and Momo Gear knob (Tickford mod plate)
5 Speed manual
Dual 2 1/2" Exhaust
Hardtop
Lowered allround

Got rid of the AU Series 1 Forte for it.

p.s. I know most of you are AU haters, i can take your bashing.

nice man as u can see i like au's (waiting for my bashing lol) but looks good in that colour.
also they go pretty good and they can get going alright with exhaust intake and a tune they pull between 190-200rwkw so its pretty good.
cheers josh.

Wayno, yeah the dual exhaust sounds good. Not too loud but loud enough! :D
oldman - it goes alright for what it is. 200kw aint that special but a manual brings it alive.
Launches are fun in it :D

by five point slow
Series 2 and 3 XRs look good, especially black ones. Well, interior is a bit shitty but what can you do.

Any plans for it, or keeping it stock?

Picked it up for a pretty good price. Knocked alot off the retail + the trade in of the AU1 Forte.

Looks like i might be organising a Flash Tune + Airbox in the next month or so.

Lol. Along time since this has been updated.
Since then its only had Flash tune + 20" HR pegasus....20x8.5fr and 20x9.5 rear. It scrubbed the front so fixed that. Cant lower the rear anymore if i want to carry stuff in it.
MSD Leads, hole in airbox, Iridium Plugs.
Had the wheels just over 2 months now.
Tune was last year I think? Economy 95octane tune. 165rwkw
Needs power bad.

Here is a pic, cbf washing due to weather.

Me likey AU XR’s! Looks the goods, and those rims do suit it quite well! Decent power for a stock 200 too, my 200 sedan only pulled 150rwkW stock and it was manual as well. What is the economy like on this thing now with the tune?
