Hey all,
purchased this clean 87 VLCT almost a month ago. done 130,000kms, auto and completly stock. i dont really want to do much with it, to keep it easier to return to stock. want to put some internationals on it, GK FMIC, 3" exhaust, may highflow the turbo and put some aftermarket suspension bits in.
that is all for now.

Godamn that is immaculate! The interior is spotless, thats really hard to find.
Take care of it, one thing I think it needs is a black front bar reinforcement

tes it was from carsales. i didnt pay what i wanted to but was lower than
what he was asking. he was a cop aswell....
why does it need a black front bar reinforcement?
no i dont think the mudflaps are. yeah lions. did all calais come with them?
i like the calais rims but i think they are a litte small and internationals arnt too big and dont look too attention seeking and can be changed back.
also want to get some venitians. may also get it resprayed in the same colour in a couple of years. has a few small stone chips but no fadding.

It's how they rolled off the production line, and imo looks neater. Either way the car is mint

nahh it's not the black at the bottom.. you should be able to tell the difference here.. see the holes how inside of yours are silver and his is black

these ones?
in the pic it looks like shadow. maybe they went missing when the bars were resprayed.....

yea thats the reinforcement bar behind the bumper.. when bumpers get resprayed some tend not to remove it before spraying leaving you with that result(like yours)
it is there and has been painted. ordered some venetians for the rear window today. when my $900 arrives ill get a GK fmic. i also need to sell a few parts so i can get an exhaust.
put the rear venetians in a couple of weeks ago and still waiting for some cash to get some for the quarters. need to pay insurance and rego..... had it dynoed last weekend and made 102.9rwkw on 5.5psi. thought it would have made 110-115rwkw.... just getting a base to play with. also removed that black plastic thing from under the front.

for starters, dont get it sprayed! stone chips and imperfections are what gives a car character. a great polish and a respray of the moulds would be better. also as for the inters, did you know there are aftermarket 18" inters now? they look mad and are just that touch larger than the stockies.
the muddies should have the lion symbol and weren't standard fitment.
as for keeping it opretty stock there is a lot you can do without cutting anything. first theres the 3" exhaust and the no holes cooler which is a bit of a given, add to that some headwork, an avo exhaust manifold (externally the same as a std one and trhe std heatshield even bolts uop to them but they flow better) and the highflow and a tighter actuator (higher psi without the boost tap)
anyway congrats on the car treat it well. but remember to look into suspension setup and breaking system as well as power increases
