Ah thanks sooty i relly hadnt taken that into account. At the end of the day the normal tonneaus arent all that bad i guess. I bought one off ebay, have had it for 2 years now with no dramas. I too have had a few clips break but can be bought from clark rubber and are easily changable.

i did notice there seems to be 2 diferent size straps, one slightly longer thatb the other, has anyone else noticed this? might be difference in brands i guess, i fint the longer ones are better along the tailgate

Well got an offer i couldnt refuse and the XH has found a new home. Thanks to Ash i picked up this 02 AUIII XR8 manual up for similar money :D :D

Needs a bit of a tidy up but nothing much at all. Already has
Pacemakers
Full twin system (very loud)
K & N Filter
Lowered in Front but unsure what
Genuine Sports Bar

Even got a nice little score from the RTA with no blue slip required!! ( still laughing at this one Ash!)

Nice to be back in a V8 Manual again!!

Pretty sure they are the same as series 2. Could be just the pic.

Bloke next door is a petrol head. Has very nice monaro and KTM RC8 Road bike. He took ute for a spin this arvo and was impressed. Think V8 supercar loud!

Shifter boot? Or is it the shifter knob?

Did you get the wheel done? It looks better then when it was in the Sydney photo's.



Close enough mate. Its a chrome shifter spacer that only came with the TE50. Looks better withthe momo knob which i will have on this week.

Had to swap both to stop air bag light flashing. Only one looked rooted tho. Anyway all fixed. Got rid of console and rear seat for good $$. Leather will cost me nothing!

If i could work out where the whine was coming from id be happy tho!
