My gu9

[shina]

Hi All,
Thought I would add myself to the members rides as this is going to be a work in progress over the next year as I try and get the new rig ready to head up to the cape. The first couple off additions are the smoked bonnet protector and tinted windows.
Soon to come bullbar and roof rack.

[AB]

Looks like a very well looked after beast Shina, well done!

Look forward to seeing the mods to come. Let the wallet be emptied...lol

[Lemo79]

Don't you wish they stayed that clean all the time. I like the smoked bonnet protectors, think they look great.

[shina]

Thanks AB
She's a brand newy that part emptied the wallet about a month ago......lol
So slowly building the funds back up so i can throw mods at her.

[trekster]

Very nice and tidy!

Nice. I didn't know there was a 9? What differences are there to the GU8?

[MEGOMONSTER]

It's just missing some bush pin striping

Nice fit up mate. Do you plan to fit any split tubing on some of that battery cabling? The third one of those pics makes me think it has potential to rub there a bit.

Shina,

Looks great, but one question ( just in case you haven't thought about it ), how do you get your jack out ?

Yep thought about that...the top side panels pull out and can still get easy access to the jack no problems.

The exhaust will open her up heaps mate, just keep in mind you may have to do some manual boost control as boost will spike a lot with the larger exhaust. Plenty of threads on dawes and needle valve.

Very nice rig by the way.

[(AUST)Mod]

What is a Torq pedal? Great looking rig.

[shina]

Thks Aust Mod...The Torq pedal mate is part of the Torqit chip it plugs onto your
accelerator pedal and take out the throttle lag. It has 3 different programs and each
program has 3 setting so you can set it to how you want for diffenent driving situations..

No probs, credit where credits due, cheers Tony. :thumbup:

[shina]

Few new updates to rig recently while i was home. Managed to get the VMS head unit and reverse camera installed and fitted the outback roof console which i picked up off ebay for a good price and got the coms fitted too. Hopefully next time home i'll get the draws finished and fit up the intercooler fan. 42" light bar coming and 3" DEA exhaust hopefully too.

Also might want to invest in a Scan=gauge to eliminate any errors

35% more power is a big ask

[Sir Roofy]

well done mate hope the trip is as good as you hope
do you think the fan really works

[shina]

Roofy, yeah mate i reckon it does make a difference especially when driving slow, it helps prevent that heat soak in the intercooler

[Bacho86]

Hey mate nice looking rig, interesting spot for your switches - haven't seen that before. Do you have issues with switches getting knocked by drink bottles?

Bacho86 no mate only the amber ale ones go there, but they don't last long enough to do anything.
Haven't had an issue the drink bottles are a neat fit in the holders or i just use the door.
