    Wink Alex's VS Calais :D

    Hi Guys...
    Thought I'd upload some photos of my first Commodore...a 1995 VS Calais

    She's only got 177xxxkm on the clock, and am led to believe this was mainly highway km.

    As the photos show it was largely stock when i got it (A couple of the photos are of it when i got it...15" Calais wheels and the like).
    Specifications
    Engine:3.8 Ecotec, CAI, K&N Filter
    Transmission:4L60E
    Exhaust: 2.5" Catback
    Diff:IRS 3.08 (Open centre!)
    Suspension:Stock!
    Strut Brace Added: Feels like a new Car, Love it!
    Wheels: VX SS 17" Rims
    Sound: I have installed a Pioneer iPod head deck, Pioneer splits in the front, Polk Audio 6x9's in the rear, Cadence amp, Pioneer sub
    Alex's VS Calais :D-sub.jpg
    Exterior: Tinted Tail Lights, clear repeaters...that's it! I want the sleeper effect

    Plans...
    Kings SSL springs, Monroe GT Sports shockies, Nolathane Camber Kit - Very Soon!!
    Pioneer second amp
    Either convert it to a T5 manual, of install a stage 2 shift kit along with Corvette servo
    Rebuild an Ecotec, turbocharge it, and install (Aussie Buick GNX style )
    Install LSD
    HSV Senator interior
    VT Brakes - Soon!!!

    Nice mate! a white Calais always looks great. But good luck finding a decent senator interior (they're rare as rocking horse s**t) and anyone who has 1 wants a fortune for it. Also with the brake upgrade you might consider just getting slotted rotors to suit Vs that way you wont have to change the M/C or anything just a straight swap, and finally a series 11 front end would look really good on her. Anyway keep up the good work.

    Cheers mate, yeah i know its a shame on the Senator thing...but i'll keep lookin'. I was told that X drilled aren't really worth the extra $$$ so slotteds will be the way to go when it happens.
