Black AUII XR8 Ute

[stevo]

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.

[holmsy]

nice mate.
dw au's are gay but not only is it an xr and a ute a v8 and 5spd which makes it instant cool. it is also black

[LUXO_8]

nooks nice steve....... would sound good with the dual exhaust......

[old_mate]

hows it go? I have been thinking about buying a AU3 XR8 or something like that, until G6E's are cheapish

[EBOOST]

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.

[stevo]

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

[old_mate]

oldman...i'm only 24!

[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?

[Dansedgli]

Nice buy. It looks pretty good.

[Sunboost]

Looks clean

[XRated]

I've always been a sucker for AUII/III XR8s. Looks great mate.

[nommic]

Nice AU, I like that one

[t1MMy]

Looks really nice mate. If I was to own a ute, thats what it would be.

[Alesia]

Very nice ute i would have one of them anyday

[EFFalcon]

can i call you b2tf?

[stevo]

Thought about buying his acctually...

No immediate plans for mods but i do have a few things i want to do in the not too distant future.

[Commando]

Very nice pickup!

[XRated]

Hey Stevo, where'd you take those pics?

[stevo]

[ed xr6]

[Kenaz]

Very nice Stevo!

I thought about getting one like that back in the day.

[John_LS1]

looks mint as! how much you pick it up for?

[Gozza]

The Au utes sorta look look like BA's - Nice car

[stevo]

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.

[stevo]

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.

[Dansedgli]

Looks awesome mate.

[jazza312]

love it... it's just like my brothers, hard lid n all. except his has ba 18" wheels and leather seats.

lots of fun to drive.

[LOW_XR]

looks sick man. one of the very few, non factory type wheels i like. id put those on my ve if they came up at the right $$$

[Dezza]

Looks awesome. Love the rims.

[josho2204]

love the wheels car looks awesome

[LOW_XR]

Nice dig up. Only 2 years later

[ClassicAU]

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?

[GUTLES]

I see Steve's Ute around all the time, always looks tough.
