[E-T-H-A-N]

okay so i thought it was time to put up a few pics of my calais, i bought this as a wreck, i dont have any pictures left of the damage though. i have spent alot of time and money on it.

so it goes like this,

engine ;
buick v6
pace maker extractors, 2.5" catback
L67 CAI

gearbox ;
t5!
extreme XHD clutch
short throw shifter

interior;
vr/s door pods for speakers painted blue ( actually match the interior)

17" cheap wheels, federal tyres.
super low springs front and back,

i have an ss kit for it, contenplating putting it on (genuine plastic)

Done well mate bet its come along way aye!! goodluck with it mate!!

[E-T-H-A-N]

yeah it has come a very long way, it was entirely stock when i got it to, and auto. thanks mate.


*added*
i should have some more pics to put up over the weekend im hoping.

[E-T-H-A-N]

a bit of an update, i painted the wheels black over the weekend and also lowerd it a little more at the back, i took out the rubber bits ontop of the spring, now you can hear them move a bit, but it droped it easily a full cm. im also considering painting my grill white.

looks pretty clean for a car that age, it will look tough with the ss kit on sitting that low, did you do the manual conversion yourself?

[E-T-H-A-N]

its clean as hell for its age, yeah im just waiting on the rear bar and foglights to put the ss kit on. yeah me and a mate did it.

[E-T-H-A-N]

really have shit all to update, some wanker sat on my bonnet at a party last night and dented my guard slightly, really not happy about that. im kinda stuck on wheel idea's though, anyone have any idea's ? i did see a vs calais on speedy cheetah's today in 19s wich i thought looked pretty nice, classy as. im hoping to get a few things fixed on her pretty soon, i need new engine mounts and a few little things like that, im also getting alot of scrubbing at the back so im going to get new shocks, sway bars and fitting vr/s calais trail arms and a camber kit soon hopefully, so much to do so little money. anyway tell me what you think!

[E-T-H-A-N]

also, mocked up the ss lip. think im going to use the other one i have it seems to fit better than this one, plus i sold this one haha.

[E-T-H-A-N]

i sold this yesterday for a vr exc 5.0
