bit of an update, finaly got car to idle right, rego next week then take it into work to replace fuel pump and CAS, then should hopefully run sweet. also picked up new gear shifter from u pull it so now shifter doesnt hit handbrake when in second and shifts alot nicer.

[seans VL Calais]

got a few bits and pieces done, got calais rear garnish to replace full black one, slammed it on its ass, new radiator, fixed calais pop ups so now they work
