Nothing a set of extractors and exhaust won't fix.
Looking good mate

**ssmate** · 21-02-2007, 07:02 PM

nice ride dude whats betta than a calais?
one with a 5lt!!!

got any plans for her?

**=Calais v8=** · 21-02-2007, 07:05 PM

its got a redback system already, but 2 mufflers, so im probably going to get the rear one cut out, then im not sure. need new speakers, one of the rears is shot. then maybe a sunroof? supercharger? haha any suggestions?

**Jo3_Blo** · 21-02-2007, 08:36 PM

BEAUTIE!!!

Lol.

Looks great! Love it.

Also, just make sure it's not just the wire that isn't connecting to the speakers. My dad had to fork out $170 at the auto electricians for new speakers and installed. (and they're crappy $30 ones) when all it was was one wire wasn't making propper contact. And the speakers we had were awesome. We still have them though, just gotta put em back in.

This car looks amazing. VS always look really nice with hardly any exterior mods.

took her up for the black spur drive today. all the windows down, listening to the v8 sound bouncing off the walls.

**Jo3_Blo** · 22-02-2007, 10:37 PM

Lol, who cares if the speakers have shat themselves when you have the tune of a V8 to listen to!?

**vs_commodore_s** · 21-04-2007, 05:18 PM

nice ride mate. if ya dont ind me asking how much did you pay?

**=Calais v8=** · 03-10-2007, 04:47 PM

some minor updates.

i mounted Volt and Oil pressure Gauges. on the pillar. not hooked up yet, but i will do it soon. i also put a switch for them in my ashtray so i can turn them off.

got a new Calais badge from ebay off a VX. my old one was falling off. after taking it off i discovered superglue under there, so the previous owner has probably tried to glue it back on. didnt do any damage to the paint luckily. new one suits it perfectly i think.

and a new tip i got from member Noy

next up is suspension.
