pommedean's Supercharged VN Calais

[pommedean]

Hey all, fairly new to this site, just thoguht id post up a few pics and info of my car.

its a 1989 Holden Commodore VN Calais Supercharged with a V8 Supercar bodykit.

in need of a little TLC in order for a roadworthy but drives with no real problem.

anyway cant be bothered right now with all the info as i tried to poset yesterday and it didnt submit properly so ill add the info at another date.

That's nice man it looks like something peter brock would have driven

[pommedean]

thanks man, relaly trying to find the time to fix her up and get back on the road.

in need of a new K frame, and to be raised. and i think a new muffler as the roadworthy said it has collapsed.

all in good time i gues tho.

Interesting vn you got there, personally not a fan on the kit specially the front bar but its your car.

l67 motors are good and pull good numbers on the dyno for a 6, up that boost and she will be flying. I think l67 converstions are good due to rising fuel prices ect.

Goodluck with it dude

[Leebo]

So the exhaust is bashed in from being too low is it?

Did it get stacked so it need a new k frame or knocked underneath?

Where did you ever find those OZ racing wheels, those are dream spec wheels for me! I've allways wanted a set

i'm the same, i love those wheels but can never find a set, always wanted some

[Noy]

yeh there nice wheel, though the wheel that ive always tryd to get are momo status's can never find em anywhere though

also pommedean how much you pick it up for, if you dont mind me asking?

[pommedean]

Thanks Noy, yea i hope she'll fly lol, goes alright as is, but could do with a bit more of a kick tho.

Leebo, well theres no damage from the underside from which i can see that could cause the damage to the exhaust, i believe the reason is either cause its a sports muffler. cant remember the brand, will have a look another time. as for the k frame the front wheel had been introduced to the curb and made good friends with it. which cause the damage there.

Greenfoam, the wheels were on the car when i purchased it. pretty over the moon about that. tho im sad to say one of them is slightly damaged from the above mentioned incident.

Noy, i picked it up realy cheap, was from a friend who didnt really need it anymore as he got himself an fpv lol. sorry dont really wanna say exactly how much some things a best left untold :P hope you dont mind

Nice car mate, i see you have some blue tops in there as well, what type of power is this thing pushing?

[pommedean]

yea theyre upgraded injectors, as for the power, unfortunately i dont know as yet, havent run her on the dyno since i got it, as soon as i get figures tho ill post em up right away

[Bz Kn33z]

do you know how much boost its running? looks good mate

[pommedean]

thanks Bz Kn33z mate, nah as yet i dont know the boost its running, i had a leak in the vacuume lines and so it wasnt registering correclty on the boost gauge, ill update with info once i get the numbers

l67 motors are good and pull good numbers on the dyno for a 6,

they pull a number... its usually not impressive.


looks pretty clean, im not sold on the bonnet vents or the front bar, stick a group A front bar on it :P.

looks like its got potential!

[pommedean]

even tho i really do like the group A kit, i have to say that theyre too common for my liking around where i am (northern suburbs) plus this looks a little more "different" not to say it looks the best lol, but yea different isnt always bad :P

thanks for your comment PaRaDoX
