supersports was the Calais 1.0
go the Pentagons for 2.0 =P
those leather seats are making me want to get the interior reupholstered now....
also have you thought about painting the engine cover and/or rocker covers?
i will have a spare set you can have soon if you want. =P

Ordered some suspension goodies for it. SSL all round and KYB shortened struts & shocks, $587 delivered. Gotta be happy with that.

Haha lol. Sunroof might happen... its last on the list essential things first such as 20s and low
Honeymoon we paid for in cash lol.. so no issues there
Serviced it tonight, transmission and engine oil, air filter etc. runs much better.
Plugs, leads, full transflush and tb/plenum clean soon.
I might just sit on the suspension when it gets here until I have supersports then chuck it all on at once

Dont worry about the 20s. Then again its your call they do look good. Mine came with 20s and Ultra low VS rear springs in it and it rode like ass. Having said that I changed to 19s and raised it (slightly) to VT-Z ultras in the rear and then spent another 2k+ on the suspension and it still rides rough or firm, whichever way you want to describe it but it handles alot better than the boat it was plus I grew used to it.
You just need to save for the L67 conversion now. I drove my brother emotec VT Calais one time and wow it was like night and day. But now he has an L98 manual VZ SS Thunder and hes trying to pull the "V8" card on me. Its amazing how quickly his ego started swelling, its kind of funny really. Oh well Ive got six years on him and five seats.
