Keen to sell it now gonna be sad to go and ill regret it because how clean and original it is.... Looking for 3.5k with t3 turbo and turbo manifold, dump pipes etc with 6 months rego. Not sure on Kms as it stopped on 112,000 3 years ago... Id say around 160-180,000ks

Bit of an update. The wagons long gone so im sticking with this now. Just purchesed oil drain fitting for the block and oil drain fitting for the turbo. Still need intercooler kit (will have $$$$ after christmas :D) and exhaust manifold gasket and dump pipe gasket. So should be boosting around mid january. Also getting a new camera for chissy so heaps of pics soon.... Its not gnna go as hard as my wagon but will be heaps more snappy because it will be high comp. Car is living in a garage again :) I put the calais ass back on but replaced the calais badge with a berlina badge


Still needs a new boot mould and left hand rear quarter crome trim

Ok wagon was found earlier this week but 95% of the car was stripped. Only thing i got off was the oil drain what screws into the block. Also got a new camera for chrissy

Just purchased VL calais boot mould and eyebrows (gonna look sick with the silver turbo badge on the calais boot mould) Next week i should have an intercooler and piping kit. Not getting the gktech kit as they wont have stock untill 6-8 weeks im just getting 600x300 cooler and piping off good old ebay. When i had my wagon i was quoted $700 for a high flow cat and 3" mandrel bend exhaust so will be going down that path once the turbo is all bolted up.

Pics next week when i put the calais moulds on

*Calais moulds should be here soon
*Have a set of vt ss 17" with whitewalls lined up for $200
*Purchasing intercooler kit today or tonight just waiting for bank check to clear


So i should have the kit by friday and will start bolting on intercoler and turbo gear next monday and tuesday. Just gonna run N/A ecu and injectors for the time being as i have no idea what condition my vlt ecu or vlt injectors are in.. they have been sitting in the shed for years.
