think a guy on another forum owned this.i think he had a vn aero before it ill try remember name or find it
ok found an old old for sale add for it here is what was listed
Series 1, 1986 VL Calais
Drivetrain
Engine: VT Clubsport 304 , standard apart from Pacemaker extractors
Transmission: VP T700 stage 2 shift kit, cooling kit installed
Diff: LSD 28 spline 3.7 gears.
Suspension: Just spent big $$$ on suspension, new King Springs, Koni Adjustable shocks, alot of bushes replaced, bigger front sway bar (Whitelines) adjustable Panhard Rod (Whitelines), Strut Brace (Whitlines). All seen less then 4,000km's
Wheels: 17' ANZ Matrix rims with near new Maxxis MA-71 tyres. Tyres cost $750, lucky to have seen 5,000km's.
Body
Body has been resprayed, passenger door lock shaved, and the lines between the boot and rear window filled. Tinted windows. Calais pop up lights work as well.
Interior
Interior is neat, although mark on rear seat, and carpet is a bit ratty in places. Comes with MOMO steering wheel and small sound system. Standard VL shifter has been adapted to T700. Electrics work, and speedo has been calibrated to the diff gears
This car is pretty clean and certainly attracts attention due to noise of exhaust etc. Also isn't a slouch, beat my mate in his VY SS upto 100km/h
Only thinking of selling because I'm struggling to put fuel in as I have to drive so far to work and back each day. Looking at been sensible (heard this before ) and actually buying a 4 cylinder. I'd put it on gas but you lose injection, defeating the point of owning an injected 5ltr.
Comes with 12 months rego and RWC, and have just about all the receipts (including ones from previous owner) for work done on the car
Looking at around $11,000 ono. It's hardly a desperate sale though - no skin off my nose if I don't get any offers close to what I want I'll just sacrifice takeaway to keep filling her up
do you know how old the add is, thanks for ya effort
would be at least 4-5 years maybe i will re check it for you and drop me a pm i can send you the link
you sure thats a HSV motor and not just an injected 5L
its a 195i vt roller motor
The engine number prefix is QR witch is from an old red 253 but haven't had a chance to look at the cast on the block yet as i pick it up on Mon- Tues next week the car has been written off so i got it for parts. By written off i mean slight kink in FL HS chaise rail bugger all
you can get injected lpg![]()
