Mate of a mates brother has an LS1 tonner, un intercooled vortech on 8psi, auto, 320rwkw.
He took the stock tray off and now has a flat one made out of plywood, capped with aluminium angle.
I haven't been for a spin in it yet, Max/SLOLS1 has.
Apparently it's an interesting ride :lol:

Moral of the story?
No LS1, no care.

by **Commando** » June 24th, 2008, 7:56 pm

Put an engine in it!

by **EL XR8** » June 24th, 2008, 7:58 pm

I was thinking they would have probably sold the ute for a bit more, because of all the tradie's gear on it.
Those canopies, and ladder racks, etc aren't cheap at all.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a stocko ute, without all that gear?

by **4LEDboy** » June 24th, 2008, 8:01 pm

put a rolls royce trent 800 on the back!!!! 8-)

by **Hooked** » June 24th, 2008, 8:05 pm

I would hang shit if someone posted a pic of their brand new FG XR6 (note lack of T) on here.
You are not immune to this.

by **Hooked** » June 24th, 2008, 8:11 pm

hahaha

im not gettin shitty, just stain the point that if i was able to hav the LS1 i wouldnt even think twice =]

by **Steady** » June 24th, 2008, 8:13 pm

Good, long as you know

Good luck with it.

by **mitch_** » June 24th, 2008, 8:14 pm

there not even a decent 6! :lol:

why didnt u get a ford?

by **Hooked** » June 24th, 2008, 8:20 pm

cos fords tend to b a bit on the pricey side of things and its hard to find a base modle that hasnt coped a thrashin.

rekon i could make this tray cmopletely flat??

by **Rollin** » June 24th, 2008, 8:29 pm

Mitch - the alloytec isn't that bad with a set of extractors, decent exhaust and a tune in it - the tune is the most important thing though! IIRC a guy on performanceforums had an alloytech190 with the above mods, pre-tune made 180rwhp, post-tune made 220!!!

The best piece of advice I can give you though, is service the crap out of it. The 15,000km intervals are far too long for anyone that isn't doing daily trips from perth to darwin. 10,000km minimum, but I'd do 7,500 oil and filter changes just to be sure.

I've lost count of the number of aloytechs we have had at work with noisy cam phasers, low/no oil pressure, noisy lifters etc because people don't service them enough/at all.

I was thinking the same thing... wouldn't it be cheaper and also easier to get a stock one?

by **TAXI** » June 24th, 2008, 8:58 pm

lions pride http://www.holdencarclubs.com.au, vz`s rattle like there thrashed from new.

by **Nikk O'lass** » June 24th, 2008, 9:05 pm

You can get a dedicated LPG 2008 BF2 ute, brand new, A/C, Auto for $23,000. Will only be getting cheaper too.
I would hate to know what a new BF2 Tray povo pack is going out the door for now??

by **holmsy** » June 24th, 2008, 9:23 pm

sounds like my next replacement for the ed

give it couple years i think.

by **EB_GLI92** » June 24th, 2008, 10:03 pm

only good thing about it would be the color but thats what i think.

I dont trust cars that are made in Elizabeth.

by **burnt turtle** » June 25th, 2008, 5:44 pm

i dont think he is getting it anymore

by **Gunns** » June 25th, 2008, 5:51 pm

by **Hooked** » June 25th, 2008, 6:09 pm

by **Kaddis** » June 25th, 2008, 6:13 pm

XH Tonner?? I wanna see this.

by **TAXI** » June 25th, 2008, 6:15 pm

Now thats a better choice.

by **burnt turtle** » June 25th, 2008, 6:22 pm

yeh they aree looking for 10k for the tonner or there is a bloke sellin 1 at work for 7k,
im tellin ya mate as i sed dont go something so expensive (ba xr6) u'll be struggling to pay it back, go the xh

by **Hooked** » June 25th, 2008, 6:25 pm

yehhh, got a point there Joshi, the XH isnt a cab chas, its a tub with the one tonne suspension kit

by **EB_GLI92** » June 25th, 2008, 6:27 pm

looks like your on the right track now, good to hear

by **Hooked** » June 25th, 2008, 6:30 pm

hahahaha
id still rather the Holden, its pretty unique being a tonner, and there rnt many around.

by **EL XR8** » June 25th, 2008, 9:27 pm

If you're tall, don't even consider the XH.
I couldn't drive one for more than 10 mins.
But i found my old AU2 XR8 cheap, sold it cheap too though. :cry:

Maybe a AU Pursuit, perhaps get the stroker, they're around 20k or so these days...

lol true. I'm 6"4' and struggle to fit in an XH (my mate Brendan has one). My left knee sort of ends up threaded between the steering column and handbrake.

by **speed.freak** » June 25th, 2008, 10:26 pm

xh panelvan? 8-)

way cooler than a ute.

by **Hooked** » June 26th, 2008, 6:56 pm

iv got the XH in my driveway at the moment, the guys at work let me take it home for the night, its a bloody nice car to drive, very responsive, *compared to a landcruiser

*
i rekon ill go this one =]
