Yeah.....its a bit stock right now.....i just wanna get sum decent mods (not to expensive) in my belt. ive got around 6gz to spend at the end of the year and i wanna do sum serious modifications to it...also my old man wants me to put it on duel fuel so i was thinkin bout running a gas research system and doing performance mods around it to suit the gas system.

Go for injected LPG.
A TS 50 front bar would look good, of course lowering and rims are a must. |

I'm assuming its the same unit that comes in the AUII LTD as standard - it was probably good in its time. 2D maps that are 7 years old really don't compare against the latest version of Tom Tom Navigator... but its handy when I forget to bring my PDA or my GPS receiver

I believe you update the satnav maps via DVD. Mine is an 03 BA factory satnav, and has the main gps unit in the boot with a inbuilt dvd drive.

Is this $6000 for engine and exterior mods? If ya want a decent gas system, you could almost spend ya whole 6g's on a Vapour injection kit for it.

I'd say around 4 grand, plus you get 2 grand back anyway. |

congratulations mate!!!! Did you purchase it from CAR CITY (OFF WARRAGUL RD IN CHELTENHAM????)
I bought mine from GRAND PRIX MOTORS which is on the very corner of this vast establishment. For some reason this car yard manages to get its hands on the cream of AU's from Tickford's to luxo barges. There is a nice v8 au sportsman there at this very moment for $19,000. It's black and looks slick. |
