    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
