I love it you know it...If i was you i'd take off those mud flaps, get color coding and some nice 19's ! but thats just me...a vp calais of any sort = potential.

P.S Loving the audio setup nice n neat bro 10/10

 

[calais_cruzin]

HAHAH Mud Flaps are stayin, they give me a idication of how much room i got b4 scrapage.

Colour codeing would have been there if she was a S2 but i dont mind the black handles, least it has white mirrors.

As for mags im currently looking at sum thru my dads work, but got a few things that need to be fixed b4 them, and im goin 17's i dont want a really ruff ride.

I need my Racks and pwr steer pump fixed and i think my Diff CV is on its way out, got a nice clunk if u hit a bump and goin a good speed.

Cheers for ya comments

Hey man nice car, I see you live in the tweed aswell. I think i might have seen you around, i got the green calais that cruises around alot thru tweed,cooly.

I really should make a tread in my ride

 

[calais_cruzin]

Yesterday i did a bit of a shonky reverse park, anyway the gutter ripped off one of my rear mud guards soo they have all been removed, hope u like that VSSPAK.

Tekka goin to have to meet up one time, go out for a cruze round town.
And i cant work out how u didnt know about any of the cruze's we have had....

Thinking about buying sum 16inch 5 spoke mags n 2x12in P1 Rockford subs and RF 900w mono amp, his VL is heading to the wreckers n has these for sale.

I wouldnt mind the amp n mags, but dont really want the subs as there SQ isnt as good as my JBL's but mine dont go anywhere near what the P1's pump out, soo im deciding if i should go SPL ova SQ or just make a completly sealed bandpass box to try make it a bit better SQ, ino a bandpass witha port sounds crap but im not sure how it would go without a port n being fully sealed chamber front n rear of sub.

Goin out there on Sunday have a listen n work out if i should get em or not.

Til next update Cya's round,Cheers for takin the time to look in ere.

 

[VSSPak]

W00t w00t haha i LOVE it! only things left are now to slam it, personalised plate , maybe some nice 19's a colour code job and ur all good!! hot!

i think u have the audio aspect of things pretyt much covered

 

[calais_cruzin]

Audio will never be preety much covered, there is always romm for more or better stuff.

Wouldnt mind dumpin the ars a bit more, but would have to get exhaust fixed up as it hangs low near the diff coz they couldnt bend for crap, soo im just gettin a new one, coz dude wont fix it, he recons it will only go up another cm but there is bout 4cm room there, he didnt even looked just asummed.
