Aussieakito's Vt Calais

[aussieakito]

UPDATE
So i used penrite oil on all my services.. but you might all remember the last time i used it in the SS it had some issues.
I used it in the Calais when i serviced it this sat and it hated it, terrible lifter noises.
Switched to this stuff today much better stuff, Not a single tap.

Ephect even heard it sat night it was pretty bad.

Went to a tree top adventure course, the road to get up was a steep gravel road.
This car isnt made for those roads no matter how light i was on the throttle i couldnt keep the wheels from spinning and flicking rocks all along the paint.
Doesnt help that as soon as they start spinning you start to crabwalk into the ditches either side of the narrow road.

Anyway, i made it. (samsung s4 camera)

Update,
Obtained a twin exhaust system today for free, the old system was twin until the rear muffler.
Installed it and it doesnt sound very loud which is good (I hate the sound of V6 commodores with exhausts)
But has better flow, hopefully better fuel economy.
