    Default VP 5Lcalais maroon on 19's

    hey guys just thought i'd put up my current Calais, this is my 2nd of 3 calais. i had a v6 VP Calais, full stocker on wheels then upgraded to a 5L calais this one's got som mods but nothing unreal.
    it's got 5L with CAI,
    pacemakers,
    3inch exhuast,
    had a hot trans but spat it
    maybe head work
    and LSD with 3:55's.
    making 145kw on the rear's
    ummm slammed super lows all round i think. i put my Dad's 19 inch VY sentor sigs on it and mainly cruise it in Pirie. Has been defected for the worx, to low, to lould, big wheels, oil, cracked diff cradle etc. And then it cooked the hot trans which was stage 2 shifty with 2,500 stall converter. So it's cost me a big but it's finally all sweet now.
    Enjoy
    P.S. my 3rd Calais is a full sotck VP international

    hahaha not normally, the 3" muffler use to scrape every speen bump out there but i got another 3" system on it now and it's actusally higher then i has it. LOL it was 15-20mm lower in the bum.

    The front pipe find's some kerbs n stuff going up n down foot paths onto the road but you learn how to drive n low car n avoid these things pretty quickly.



    That is the cops block of wood its 95mm heigh and you need 100mm ground clearence

    Cars still up for sale any comments welcome, we've sold the 19's so there now gone to a new home.

    If the car doesn't sell im think of playing with it a little but dont know what to do yet looks or goes?
    -single turbo n maybe chase up a 5/6 speed
    -pimp it, SS body kit 20's with airbags all 100% legal i know it can be done

    either way it's going off the road soon and hopfully it sells before i spend anymore coin on it.

    Haha Id be stuffed well and truly Id be lucky to have 60mm gape between road and exhaust lol its shit get stuck and scrape on everything,
    never try going on a really strong angle to get over a speed hump cause u just drag ya guts all the way down the speed hump lol
    Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, now that's what gets you...
