Shum's BA Tunna + BOOST!!

by **Shum** » January 24th, 2011, 6:02 pm

This is my 03 BA ute, 5.4L 3V Barra engine.
Was stock when I got it in July 09 apart from a 2 1/2" single exhaust.

One of the first things I did was put on a 3 1/2" intake pipe & cut a hole in the front of the airbox to help it breath, and painted the engine cover.

I decided to have a play with putting a dvd system in and have come up with this. A 9" lcd screen running from a Pioneer dvd unit.

I've lowered it all round with reset leaves in the rear and Lovells superlows (for a 6cyl

) in the front. I've also put on a different tray which is much shorter and has LED taillights.

There's a few more thing's I'll add on when I get some more pics

Looks great, any shots of the tray showing the taillight setup?

by **Dansedgli** » January 25th, 2011, 5:34 pm

That looks sick.

Where did you get the tray from? I love the look of a tray back.

found a pic of it with the "grass" on the tray

Also a couple of other things that I've done to it.
The steering wheel was knackered when I got it so I got my hands on an XR leather wheel

Also managed to jam a full size 12" sub and box between the seats. (doesn't leave much room for anything else

)

by **SLY5LT** » January 25th, 2011, 11:11 pm

i remember the "turf" from the VSS cruise a while back

i also remember the bass from the system/sub.... alot of noise out of so little space !!!!

Quick update...

About a week before AFD I ound a fibreglass BF GT fornt bar for next to nothing on ebay with a bit (a lot) of damage. So I spent many hours at night after work that week repairing, prepping and painting the bar so I could chuck it on for AFD.

Anyway here's a few pics from the day - oh and that's on springs.. no fancy airbags around here!

Also some of you may have already seen it, but I cant seem to find any pics..
I've put a lip spoiler on the rear of the cabin. I'll take a couple of pics tonight hopefully and chuck them up.

by **EFFalcon** » March 3rd, 2011, 7:37 am

springs and flat tyres :lol:

by **BROCKYB8** » March 3rd, 2011, 7:38 am

Looked good mate. Heard you had some fun trying to get out off AFD

by **Eb Barbie** » March 3rd, 2011, 8:22 am

Can't believe it's that low without bags! Looked awesome at AFD

by **phunkshun** » March 3rd, 2011, 7:07 pm

That is sweet, there is one like yours gettin around up here but that front bar at that height is :cool:

by **Shum** » March 24th, 2011, 2:20 pm

Bought the ute some prezzies recently, just gotta get the time to install them.

Also got a shiny new radiator and an external trans cooler is on the way..
