Just picked up a VN 5ltr Calais (Comments?)

[BEGME2]

Hi all, I missed owning a 5ltr so I flogged off my Jap-Spec SSS Pulsar on the weekend and bought this...

Details are as follows

- V8 5ltr
- Reco auto with stage 1 shift kit
- Gas Research LPG conversion (Throttle body)
- HSV chip (+ OEM chip spare)
- Extractors + sports exhaust
- LSD rebuilt, 3:45 diff gears
- 19s
- Pedders suspension
- VT front brake upgrade
- CAI
- Full leather
- Momo steering wheel
- Full respray

I'm going to change the tail lights as I'm not a fan of the tinted jobbies and neither are the cops.

I think I'll change the diff gears to 3:9 too, 3:45 feels pretty average, especially by comparison to my old VR 5ltr.

Car needs a service and tune I reckon and a dyno on gas.

I think I'll probably change the wheels too, though they look better in person than they do in the pics.

Maybe a set of Internationals or Signatures could be a good replacement?

Nice looking car mate, and nice things you have planned.

How many k's has it done? (like it even matters with these cars anyway)

Personally i like them tintedlights with that colour car - but thats probably just me.

Let me know when you get rid of them and ill buy them off ya lol.

And the wheels, well theyd probs look better if they were tucking under the guards a bit more. I haven't got suggestions for a new set of wheels as im still toying with ideas myself and can't decide.

Nice ride man - Take care of it. :thumbsup:

Wow what a beast. By the looks of it the paint job is tops, rims suit it very well. I would keep the tail lights as they are, suits the car. All round looks perfect

 

[Renno]

For some reason those rims suit it, as does the tailights!....weird i know :rofl:

Id definately look into colour coding the door handles and look into getting some Vp Calais Chrome window surrounds to match the series 2 chrome in the moulds.
