    Default NORTI's Stable..... VK Calais VN 'S'

    K in NORTIs stable we have...... I have been slack & never posted any, so heres everything now.... we wont go into my VL's & other VK lol


    VK Calais (parts car now was origanlly project base)
    Cerulean Metallic paint with Cerulean Interior.
    EFI 202, traumatic (hahaha)
    Slammed on its arse (superlow kings)
    hand Polished Calais rims
    Died 2006 . (Still got parts if ya need anything )
    - Now a parts/donor car


    VN 'S' (daily)
    Metallic Imperial Blue
    SS Interior,
    SS lower skirts all round & grill, stupid wing
    aftermarket power windows (why?)
    V6
    stage 2 shift kitted auto.
    CSA Momo Star colour coded 15's.
    - VN is my daily, well was til an 'incident' recently, will be in getting repaired shortly.


    VK Calais
    White
    Cerulean interior
    4wd lift kit (J/K but its bloody high!)
    on 16' cop rims atm.

    purchased as new project base with 250,00k's
    when I bought it, it was covered in dirt & dust 3inchs thick, had to wash it before I could even drive it home had 3 different kinds of rims! was a disaster to look at. Getting it home found few broken bits, that I have been able to replace from what I have here, already looks 100% better IMO

    - Currently driving this for the next couple of weeks til the VN is back.


    Future plans.....

    Have the VKC wrecks gone from my shed to make some room!
    Find donor VN/VP for driveline
    VKC V6 conversion!

    I have spent last couple days, cleaning the white VKC, changing rims to the 16's, fixing Calais strips that had started to lift, replacing center console lid, dash buttons, & bits & pieces. Removed yucky woodgrain wheel, so have the stock one back on for now. Messing around with lights... clear, & Calais lights with white striping instead of factory red/orange. Not sure if I like the white as yet lol

    yeah thats what I figure..... Im not a fan of the 202, even in EFI form, love the 3.8, easy to work on, easy to coax some power out of it, & best of all should bit a little bit of a weapon in the lighter VK, factory numbers give it a few more KW than the V8 that was option on the VK, so I figure beating 8's with 6's waaaayyy too much fun to be had!

    Yous ure have enough cars :-| You could have your own display without needing to go with a club. The norti plates make you very easy to spot so you're one of the very few people i recognise and can say hi to.

    Ive never seen the lights like in the last pic. I think they would look better at night than during the day.

    Feel free to donate parts in our direction.

    yeah youll surprise a few people thats for sure!
    i wouldnt have minded the EFI 202 if it didnt drink so much fuel 220kms out of a 65 litre tank isnt good!

    edit: the white striping on the tail lights looks good! what did you use to do it? liquid paper or a white paint texta or something?

    Yeah my main issues were lack of power & fuel econ. So 3.8 will fix that right up! lol

    & the stripes are just white pinstripes.... I wasnt sure if I would like it so did that so easy to remove if I hated it lol

    The lights look better on the white(mine) than the silver (NUFNSUS) IMO, but still not a fan over all.

    As for colour, Im still unsure..... do I respray it white & go for sleeper look, or do I do it purple like I have always wanted? lol (Meance, Phantom, or Morpheous!) If its coloured than I will be tempted to kit it aswell. If it stays white I might do something small kit wise.

    Dash sounds good to me
    Why are you so nice?

    I don't think there is a choice, you have to go with the purple. Forget these ideas of white. Purple and kitted *nods*~

    Im always nice... ask Scott Plus you know it will cost you later lol. Seems the dash in the white one is faded & Im used to my old one which is really bright! but since it has high K's I dont want to swap them. & Thats the one I will prob give you, the high K one. After he has played with it, he gets to fix my white one lol

    Finally, got a topic!

    So erm, how many cars do you have??? o_O Too bad you don't live in vic, I'd take a couple off you for free!

    Also, does that Nufnsus car belong to you as well?? I think I saw it in a pic of a car show. Silver VK calais.........with a bodykit if I remember correctly.?
