Yes REGO/VIN Number? - Contact Info Other than this Forum? [email removed] Description 1988 Calais Turbo Maranello Red. Its a converted turbo, But done the right way with all the right parts.. I have owned this car for 4 years and Iam the second owner. Purachased at 98.xxx kms. It is a feature psiphotos car also. Photos can be found here.. http://www.psiphotos.com/mywebpage/ITL-555.htm and a slight history of everything thats happened with the car; I have no secrets. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...=161525&page=6 (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=161525&page=6) Interior It has near perfect beige interior, small rip in the driver’s seat which can easily be fixed, beige carpets to match the interior which are brand new. Also has a custom made beige dash mat. Auto meter sport comp 2 5/8 boost gauge, Auto meter sport comp 2 5/8 oil press gauge (not hooked up) Auto meter digital shift light with 4 point shift / led’s ( 8 colors) Has option for trans break / launch control and some sort of recording for shifts etc Momo Copy wheel retrimmed beige center. JVC Head unit with Ipod controls, Custom tuning bands and EQ's, its a competition head unit. Kenwood 4inch speakers in the front Alpine Type S's in the back. Alpine type R 15inch sub in custom enclosure. Alpine MRD 350 amp powering it; there is a spare fusion amp lying around which ill throw in; this is valued at 900 dollars or so. Im unsure I do not remember; I don’t have ay interest. Driveline Motor has done 176XXX kms, Ive had it since 98xxx, Iam the second owner to this vehicle; it has been transferred names in this family for cheaper insurance (me) Its been converted from factory n/a with the following parts. T3 turbo (has been rebuilt 10000kms ago) I have receipts and everything as proof. I have been told by my mechanic it has a slightly bigger front than factory because the og part could not be matched; all og garret parts used and bearings. Has been de comped with a competition head gasket (3layer) new head studs (ARP) and the valve gear has been freshened up. Timing chain etc done, everything to get it running right. It has a 600x300 Cooler which just slightly hangs out the front, pipes with no holes (modified to suit), and the stock airbox setup. (airflow meter relocated). I have a custom airbox to turbo pipe which is made out of stainless steel and the std PIPE from factory. The oil lines on the turbo have all been replaced with brand new ones the manifold is partially wrapped in heat tape. The exhaust on it is a custom made stainless steel for a better and nicer sound (sings like magic on full tilt) and a 3inch Driveline. The Stainless exhaust was in excess of 1300+. Tere is also a very nice pacemaker on the car which is a 3inch item from dumpy to the cat,. 9mm ICE racing leads, and I have done the dizzy cap and button upon converting the car to turbo; and have recently replaced the cas also. It has a amazing gearbox in it; I purchased it out of a ex-JPC car; the box was holding 280KW on the JPC dyno and has been custom built to handle day in day out Shifting or Crusing.; its similar to keas 350box which a normal valve body. It kicks down hard; Shifts hard and will drive like normal otherwise. Best thing about this car is the auto. It has a 2800 stall in it at the moment. Car has been repainted (all red) and dents taken out rust cut out; needs the bars redone I didn’t get them done because I have not had the time; there is one MINOR dent in the car which is an easy fix; I don’t have the time to look @ all of this at the moment. New windscreen fitted with VT one-piece seal. It has brand new tires all round, with atlas white/porta walls which have come off; but I have another set on the way. The car is lowered with just king lows all round, looks fine the way it is and is a nice ride. Car has been serviced every 5000kms and the auto also. Its fitted with an alarm, (aftermarket which cost me a pretty penny 1200+) There is a 25 Spline LSD to go with the car, which I have but it is not installed, I do not have time to run around and do it. Im sure I have missed a lot about this car but there is too much to tell. It’s a nice car; I do love driving it and its great to drive always. Im selling up due to loss of interest in the car scene. Yes the price on the car is a little jacked; No I don’t care about your moms boyfriends vl turbo that just sold for 5 dollars. This is a nice genuine car; which has the potential for a lot more I just don’t have the resource atm. Either car in full or swap for a Audi A4 Quattro B5 B6 or something similar. Will consider VW’s also GOLF GTI 4th gens Passats and so on. Just throw your offers to me. Will Consider Nissan 200SX s14a/b luxury models. WRX's and so on. Perhaps an Aristo. Euro/JDM. I would prefer to swap! Im not looking for a non model of any of the mentionted ones. If there is a substantial amount of money Ill consider it Do not low ball me or insult me; its going to result in a ban from the thread and the site; I will not tolerate it. Other than that If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me on [phone removed] or email me any time on [email removed] Thank you! PS I forgot to add the car has 10 months of REG left on it. Enjoy! ---------- Post added 05-09-10 at 20:35 ---------- PS Dont bother adding crap in this thread; Dont like it; F*ck off; And if you persist expect a ban from the thread and website for min a month. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Forgot to add the plates will be staying with me. Keep the offers coming some interesting ones coming through! Thank you all. BUMP! Just reading to this the car has been reversed into today out the front of my own house (stupid kids) going into the paint shop this week to fix it all up and will be back Until then the car cannot be seen and you can still direct all questions to me. Will have some more paintwork done while its there so its a bonus to the buyer. Damage done is just a smashed up bumper and a light and a bit of paint; WIll be replaced with whole new number two new lights new strips and such so not to worry! Also may paint the rest of the bumpers while its at the shop. Price is not subject to change as of yet. BUMP - Keep the offers coming Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Let me mention it again; I Dont want any kind of Commodore or FORD.. I want to swap for what IVE asked; for the idiots who keep asking Im not interested unless its an Audi/VW/MINI or something else of interest. A GTR and so on. Car is being fixed at the moment from the reversing incident. Whole front is getting repainted; new lights and so on. It will look like its brand new from the factory floor. Keep the offers coming. Im slightly negotiable on price yes; I just want to keep all the kids away with no money! PM me do discuss. BUMP

Quick bump; Some sales gave fallen through and other people are looking at it; however IM still open to offers. Will swap for BA/LPG car Plus cash. Car is currently at the mechanics having a fuel pressure/Injector issue. So this will be cleared up shortly. All the people whom have seen the car so far have complimented the cleanliness of it . Bump; Neg on the price; This car needs to be sold.
