Seriously though, I considered getting the sunroof but seeing how little decent days we get here in Melb to have it fully open, it wasn't worth the extra coin....

I had it for 4 months and gave the Red Lion boys heaps of curry around the streets of Adelaide. Then the magic dissapeared, so I gave it to my wife (who loves it to bits) and bought a FPV Boss Ute. I miss the power surge of the turbo, but I love the sound, the rumble, and that moddified exhaust note of the Boss witch can never be matched by any I6 Turbo engine. I have outlaid $4,600 in mods on the Boss and now have 285 RWKW, so there are some good gains to be made without spending too much money. You can't go wrong with either choice, I am just fortunate enough to have one of each.Regards Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
