"Style, performance and practicality all in one"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

No major faults yet.

General comments?

A very quick Ute. Especially with Pacemaker headers and 2.5 sports

exhaust.Ute also has a great note to it.

Being an S pack Ute came with bucket

seats which are very comfortable and hug

around the body well.

It has a modified

suspension:lowered on the front and

raised at the back with heavy duty Monroe shock absorbers. Works very well

and looks tough.

Interior is in the a very good condition.

No scratch or torn fabric. Nice color selection.

Has a positive feel on the road. A very

precise steering. Just like a Go kart.

Spacious cabin. And seats are very adjustable.

Motor, gearbox, diff are proved to be strong enough to handle an odd burnout

and a 220+km stunt down the road.

Auto gearbox is stronger and more reliable than a manual and shifts smooth.

A LSD diff sure helps to maintain a traction or lack of it therefor.

VS Ute -

Great all round

Shame about :-

Big end oil seal - doesn't last much more than 100,ooo k's

Low fuel warning not standard

Tail gate - mud gets under top lip, pours out in wet

Ventilation doesn't have driver fresh air whilst warm demisting; no dust filter on fresh air intake.

- greyim.
