Too big a fine on the eastern side to gg de-cat so I've had to go 100cell high flow instead.

Looks good mate.

Lovely ute - I'm jealous!

One thing though - surely those aren't 18 inch wheels in the pictures you've shown? Or else it's absolutely enormous!!

Yes thumbup Pic taken near the Kwinana/canning highway.
I lived in Willeton.
I only had the ute a week and did super sprint at Barbagalo. It killed my stock brakes eek
I also built/made the Jack Nelson trophy cabinet in the club house at the curcuit.
No rules over here about cats smile
