The major issue with the 09 kit was the rear flares.. They are designed for a ute that sits on its ass and has stupid off set and stretched tyres.

So first step was to make my own Rear flares !!

I have put the pics in a sorta step by step.. Bloody Hell these took me awhile !!!

Pretty happy with how they came out... I still have the moulds as well ... heheheh !!

Crikey! that looks good

Hey Everyone,

Hope the moderates are ok with me posting in my old build thread under a new name.

The Ute has changed alot since you all seen her last.

Tyres and wheels went from

15x7 +12 all round

to

15x8 +0 front and 15x9 -12 rears

They have a new medium compound tyre from Avon called the ZZS.. Super grippy !!!

With the car having 240kw and only just hitting the 900kg mark there was a major issue with the old wheels and tyre set up,Nothing that could be tuned out in the suspension..

My dream was always to use the 09 Racing front end but could never really afford to do it... A few years later i had the chance and the money so i went for it.. Not knowing that There would be more work in this front end then the whole bloody car... The quality of the kit was amazing but there was some major mods that needed to be done in order to make it look right on my ute !

Anybody have info on Smurfs amazing build, it's sad to have such an amazing build disappear..

What ever happen to mr
EVO 8 powered 1200 Ute

which fan page?

this ute is finished . i seen pics of it on a datsun fan page on facebook. i seen the pics a couple of weeks ago and he was waiting for the engineers reports and stuff the come through so it could be registered.

If someone from here bought the flares off me on eBay it had his mobile number on it maybe someone can SMS and find out

I think only POPPA SMURF can answer this one !

Maybe he crossed over to a Mitsubishi forum. Shame, was an awesome build that was nearing completion.

It was an awesome build! I was semi expecting him to turn up at datnats but no :(
I wonder if there was an incident outside of this forum that caused him to pull the pin, would be a real shame....
