they really aren't that appealing to the eye, are they... maybe lower with some wheels will do it some good? :P does it at least sound good?

It's already lowered, haha you should see a stock one. It has some type of exhaust, catback or something, so you can hear it. My VN sounds better though but it has a hectic cam. I will be extensively modding this car, it's been bought to do LS tuning and development. Only difference is I wont be breaking parts as frequently as the Territory, hard to hurt an NA car.

I hope you're ready to replace the rear main seal over and over :stirthepot: 

 

all jokes aside, sounds like a good development platform. 

 

Now that I've looked at a photo of an OEM one versus your one, I see it definitely is lowered... those big flared guards on VE cars just swallow rims and make them look like they're not that low...

Yep I am expecting do do several items such as lifters, balancer, rear main etc. It has a full service history though and none of those issues present yet, except I haven't check the rear main seal. No brake shudder, drives straight, 225xxxkm but a good price for what it is, 14k on the road.

Picked up the car today, goes pretty good and spins the tyres, so that's one thing marked off the list. Front wheel bearings are shot and there's a diff bush noise going on, so that'll be a fun time sorting all that out. Wheel bearings are nothing to do, will have to climb under for a closer look at bushes etc.

 

Pretty sure the trans needs a service and/or a tune. I gave it a tune, so see how it fairs tomorrow.

 

Sounds system is killa, ford may as well have pulled their stuff out the bin. Farken listened to trance for half an hour while I made up a driveway tune for tomorrow, so good. 

 

It's pissing rain tomorrow so no dyno, might just go shopping for steak or something.

Remortgaged the house, got $150k cash. 37k dyno, 14k car, 70k shed, 9k boat, 10k coke and hookers aka debt consolidation, 10k left or something like that.

 

Money doesn't go as far as you think it does ay. Remember when having a grand was the sh*t?!
