Classifi3d Calais Calais
Default The Classifi3d Calais

Well I thought it was about time that i made a thread about my car
Model:
Its a 1995 Series 1 VS Calais. Its comfy as hell and has a few personal touches, like the smelly xmas tree that hangs from my center light!!!

I bought it off a Law firm who used it as a company car from 1995-2000. It then got used occasionally for the next 8 years. In the first 5 years it did 125,000kms then from 2000-2008 it did 5000kms!!!
Its well looked after with full service history.


Colour: Botanica Mica (scratched and dented)
Bodykit: Nil
Engine Type: Ecotec
Engine Mods: Tune, Roller rockers, CAI
Exhaust: Single 2.5" catback and high flow cat. No extractors yet
Gearbox: Kitted auto
Diff: 3.08 ****ed LSD
Suspension: Soft and **** standard

Stereo is a Pioneer head unit, Pioneer amp with rear Blaupunkt 3ways and 2 6inch Blaupunkt subs

Iv got a few mods still to come. TTB and cam included.

just had a chat to a couple of cam grinders about getting something with a bit more power. They all want $700odd for them though, Supply only. One grinder told me he wont sell cams for an ecotec unless he does the tuning...$1250 supply of memcal and cam, no install.

I think ill keep looking

Why do you want a custom cam for just an ecotec? Just get an off the shelf one...
Or better yet.. save your money and put it towards something useful

good point, off the shelf would probably be a better option.

As for something useful, well i for some stupid reason want one of those lemon Adventra's. I miss ours (went back to Telstra when my dad quit) I learnt to drive in it and although it got camber wear after 10,000kms, it rattled and was as weak as a XF falcon, body rolled worse than my car and was AWD. I want one. Iv been looking at can pick them up for $15-19k ish for a 04-06 LS1.
~looks at savings account~

Ahh

Car is off the road, i think if sheared a valve head or broken a valve spring. Not 100% sure exactly but should have the car back from the mechanics within the week.
