Armie New Member 12 Member For: 12y 2m 16d Posted 25/05/14 06:20 AM Share Posted 25/05/14 06:20 AM Hey guys. This has been my build for a while, finally came together a few months back. Bought the ute with the intention of removing the tray and throwing a canopy on that can be jacked off for weekend use, has come up mostly how I wanted it. Here's a general rundown -405kw motor, SS inductions airbox Xforce exhaust Mal Wood opt3+ clutch etc etcFull FPV front end, all parts genuine Ford itemsCustom canopy with subfloorAirbags in rear to remove canopy by pumping up and proppingFull sound systemHaha kind of custom interior with orange vinyl wrapped dash, few other trimsFew other bits and pieces, nothing specialWhen I first got itOne of the props to get the canopy off I've done as much as I can to the ute and have learnt a bit (having never worked much on cars)Next up are some white BF Cobra rims I picked up a while back to throw on, just saving for semi slicks but I'm flat poor after that damn front end conversion haha! Hope it's alright 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that rwkw or flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine wise it's got -GT3540r turboProcess West stage 2 intercoolerXforce 2.5" exhaustSS Inductions air boxMal Wood opt 3+ clutch72 pound injectors from the statesMost of the engine mods were done before I bought it but it was running very rough, took me a good year to iron out the wrinkles. Even now I've gotta suss out a few lights coming up on the dash haha. Yeah I would swap the rims over in a heartbeat if I could afford it, I'm gonna run 15mm spacers all round but can't afford them or the tyres!

It's always white or grey/black. It might not be a real F6 but nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armie New Member 12 Member For: 12y 2m 16d Posted 27/05/14 10:34 AM Author Share Posted 27/05/14 10:34 AM Haha, I genuinely haven't done the sums cos I don't really wanna know! It took most of a year to collect all the parts, mostly for as cheap as possible but I don't think I would get any change out of 5 grand. Not cheap hey. And yeah I mounted the number plate on the side as I had the number plate screw holes filled, and had to put the number plate on the side to let as much air go through. Also nowhere else to put it haha. I've got two sets of custom plates I'm thinking of throwing on still, in which case I'll get a sticker number plate. I've got a genuine top and bottom mesh with the FPV logo for sale as well if anyone is interested! And yeah definitely not enough nitro blue F6's around hey!

I know my tuner has to his GS but he works at FPV so it doesn't really count haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
