thats a cool add, so shiny and the glare that comes off the alloys crikey. good find guys ---------- Post added 06-09-12 at 05:56 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by ss nut [View Post] The windscreen lace is like a metal spring that goes around the the window frame(on the body.It spaces the window out correctly, And helps bond the screen the the body.it is a press fit.If the is not enough sealent that rusts and expands to allow the water in as well..You can get them from the wreakers but you will have to get two,The bottoms nowdays have rusted away,So you use the two top halfs. Cheers Marty that metal 'spring' you speak of is the reason the front valance rusts out, water gets in and rots away the un treated wire. when refitting new screen, un pick the stitching, throw away the wire loops and glue the hood lining to the metal and get your scrren guy to run thick bead of seal round before fitting new screen with universal rubber-simple.

Rolling in an HSV R8 Black Edtion today while my SSV gets a Walkinshaw trans cooler fitted. I think this could be the start of the modification snowball desease I seem to have

Treated or untreated wire what does it matter if water get in.water should not get in.It is there for movement and also as a spacer.If you want to run the universal rubber then good you can throw it away,But if you want the moulds just get them to do it correctly.Even the rear screens were prone to rust if not done correctly Cheers Marty

It was only a week or so later they relised it had leaked after a really stormy day It went back in and they couldn't get water through into the inside at the glazier. After running a heap of water over it. Turns out it was due to the wind and the glass flexing it was pulling the water in. It wasn't a bad leaking but enough to spot it on the carpet. They pull it out and re-sealed it. Was mint from then on.

Cheers Marty ---------- Post added 06-09-12 at 19:58 ---------- Another place to check Dan is where the bonnet hinges are on the drivers side,Place the hose down the water drain and see if any comes in,Could be blocked with all sorts of rubbish.

I'm picking this is the correct place for this kind of yarn.... I was reffered to CT by Ben (user NZER) so I thought i'd join up.... A pic of my Calais about 4-5yrs ago. It has been stuck in the shed ever since under going a repower. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Any suggestions of an shop to get my exhaust customised to mate up to my turbo and that also do intercooler piping?

yip Danny,(unwnt2) from this site is your best bet. he can do both for you, and do it rite the first time. Alot cheaper than any other places. If anything though DO NOT go to pit stop. bunch of muppets, and they charge crap loads for crap job! Give Danny a p.m-He is very busy at the mo though.

Nice looking Calais, I'm sure I've seen it around before P.S As you're new I had to approve your post so others can now see. Also I fixed your image, you had a few too many http's in there ---------- Post added 12-09-12 at 14:44 ---------- I was just out at Protune and saw a gold caged VL copping a 1000hp turbo'd LSx. Anyone know of this car? Looks like it will be pretty decent to say the least
