well the calais is still in bits, but very close to being put back together. chip is currently in foamys hands being tuned to suit the cam, its a bloody big cam, definitely way too big for the other stock parts of my engine lol. ill put the cam spec sheet up one day.
oh i also sold my 18's and have reverted to a set of 16" interceptors. looks alright i guess
well foamy has informed me that my camn isnt overly big at all, just very lumpy! hehe yay.
cars 95% back together

isnt it ever. just need the chip then i can fire her up. hopefully with no leaks or anything haha
good news, she starts and runs, sounds wicked too. ill take a video later and put it up
cool, cant wait to hear it

it wasnt ran in correctly. not my fault so the replacement parts are free for me.
i think a lifter failed at the same time. because the seat in the lifter that the pushrod sits in is actually vertical and the pushrod was inside the lifter when we pulled it apart again. haha.
and heres the lifter that failed..
she goes again! but for how long? who knows haha
its already spent 4 months in the shed this year lol
any updates pauly??? hows the cam going now? will hopefully be coming down for a friday meet again in a couple of weeks i hope.
"A life lived in fear is a life half lived"
hey benny, nah no updates, just hopping in it and driving it daily. stally may come when i get my tax back.
thinking of selling it for a comfier, quiter, better braking vehicle as a daily to concentrate on my 4wding a bit more. but we'll see
[QUOTE=VNexecutive;1586914thinking of selling it for a comfier, quiter, better braking vehicle[/QUOTE]
thats mainly why i sold mine too, im still not used to how much better the brakes are lol
"A life lived in fear is a life half lived"
yeah haha, vn brakes are shit, but patrol running 35's are worse!
nice looking car mate, very tidy.
My other passion is 4wding but i did it backwards to you, started with a 4wd drive and now getting back into commodores, as much as i love my 4wd i just wanted a car to play with aswell.
Those who knock 4wd's obviously havent climed a massive rutted slope and got to the top, looked back and thought, HTF did i just drive a vehicle up that?
Keep the VN mate, do both.
haha, the mav probably goes harder than my calais believe it or not lol.
i enjoy cars, but am starting to get over it. would much prefer to just have one toy and a daily, rather than two toys
