well im not sure if anyone even looks at this thread lol but i thought i would update it with some pics i took the other day. my mate brought around his VK commodore so we thought we would go out for a few quick pics, i know the pics arnt the best but there off my iphone. turns out that the 2 cars turn a lot of heads was a nice little ego boost driving them side by side and watching heads snap back for a second look lol

also got a small vid of a small skid i did at powercruise the other week.

Enjoy all

Good looking car mate. When do you see full boost with that turbo setup? An a/r .70 front housing is quite large!!

 

[Beardie]

Thanks mate, car starts coming on boost about 2800rpm full boost is around 4000, its a bit hard to tell as the car dosent run a boost gauge atm, its just running off the wastegate spring. but the car is good to drive. as you can keep it off boost if the need be.

Whats the interior like?

Just curious if its as sweet as the outside.

 

[Beardie]

Thanks for the kind words guys

And Bazza the interior is pretty neat Full Series 2 Calais in gray including the calais headliner and rear lights, I spent a lot of time making sure every nut.bolt and screw that came out when i changed everything from blue to gray went back in and was done up tight as i hate rattles lol plus custom door pods and rear parcel shelf. and tweeters mounted in the stock 4in holes under the standed grills for a neater look.
still manual windows but, i couldnt see the point in putting electric windows in. to much work for not enough gain imo and they fail all the time also

so i guess its stock looking but neat. i have always like factory interiors (esp calais) so thats what i stuck with.

I also just the other day bought a genuine calais front end so i will be getting that painted up and installed as well as some new headlights, and then the outside of the car will pretty much be complete.
