New Ride

Small update:

Have a huge water/air heat exchanger in the post. 26"*7"*3.5"

On another note, id highly recommend AutoGlym cleaning products to anyone with leather. Cleans and refreshens leather so well. The after cleaning balm makes it feel so good and have a great gleam to the leather!!!

That leather is drool....

Don't even want to ask how much it set you back

Mixed and matched the interior. Got the best combo IMO. VZ Calais door trims and centre console lid, VZ Senator steering wheel, VZ R8 seats. Lol for the mint condition theyre in considering the age i got them for a good price, still alot of $$$ =/

Updates:

Installed transmission cooler and power-steering cooler.

Started installing my W2A intercooling setup. Mounted the heat exchanger, water pump and water reservoir, ran some of the hoses.

Also fitted a pair of polished rocker covers

Nice build so far mate. Love the direction this is heading. Just one thing... Manual ;]

interior looks good but the woodgrain shifter looks a little out of place. have you thought of swapping it with a statesman one?

Nice looking ride mate, always loved the Calais.

Just one question. Do you know what brand this OTR is? Got one on my VZ and i cant find anything about it? Tried googling BPE and got nothing.

Nah dont know the brand mate but its a crap design. My one had been plastic welded together so there was no way to replace or clean the filter without breaking it. I changed mine for the MACE CAI kit. Much better quality imo.

Haha yeah id really love it to be Manual, but from what ive read its a fair deal of work and $ as would require a different tune and BCM and there isnt a BCM to suit Berlina/Calais. So just keeping it auto and making the auto stronger and shift quicker. Already is semi-manualised with stage 2 shift kit and corvette servo, next job might be strengthened valve body etc.
