hey guys haven't been on here in ages, yeah my vl starting running like a dog and was in no condition for a turbo to be bolted on to it... so i sold it and wanted to buy the beast in the above picture, but got a vt instead cos i didn't want a loan, runs alot smoother, much nicer car to drive

hey guys, i'm back in the game, i bought a maroon mock calais turbo, i haven't taken any pics cos it looks like sh!t at the moment (sorry ahmed) and its not exactly running.... plans are simple, full respray (the colours a suprise) chrome 18's or 19's (again a surprise) finish off the interior (adding the missing calais bits) and then enjoying owning a turbo! cheers guys ps. i will start a new thread in the turbo section soon!

yeah i know, i drove her up from sydney! it fucks the brake on the left side though, i just replaced the caliper, disc and pad with new items so i don't wanna fuck them up too!! i'll book it in next week or so to get a new left rear! other than that its a machine, on about 10 pound, goes alright for a stocker Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i guy off these forums, i think he put it into a gutter doing a burnout (maybe not true but it seems that way!) i don't mind though cos i got it fairly cheap and it won't cost much to fix!
