nothing special but id still make her bleed lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

turns out when u leave your car for a year your sunroof decides itl only go up, not back down and in . . . piece of **** lol

check the windows... they might not go up either lol

nah cant, battery was hooked straight up to sunroof. coz it has no motor all the body earths are all over the place and i dont wanna start a fire lol got some permission from the man himself to throw these pics up, this is matts calais that gets spotted once every month or so lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Love this car Gotta get myself a calais

calais' arent that exciting man, and trust me i own two of them. same as any other vl just with more electrical problems lol

Yeah I use to always think that, but recently I have gotta a soft spot for the old calais. I'd love a tidy street calais.

LMAO well they have to be driven to be street cars i guess haha i dont even know what driving a calais is like anymore Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Fair call, same to me with VL's Been driving the girls honda. FWD. Big difference to the spooled VL. LOL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dyno sheet **** knows how you only made 101kw adam lol i mean yeh u only have a stock turbo but **** lukes made 130rwkw then again just re read that ****, thats ****ing ****house power for that much boost lol il have to sort that out. either that or im not reading it right because it was meant to be on 5psi but that looks to me like 17. or is the dotted line my boost and solid line my power curve Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dotted line is boost pressure bud, @ 6psi through to limiter which is good. Nice steady ramping power curve. Its highish power for boost? Either happy dyno or bigger turbo compressor. Well mine made 137, but its low k's, good fuel and I ran more timing and leaned it off a little. Dyno tell lies, I wouldnt get to concerned with the figure they read. As long as it feels good and pulls hard it will make what it makes. I can take you for a blat in my VL if youse like and you can compare. Or Trent can tell you what its like.

oh if that was 6psi then thats good, dont forget its the t3/4 hi flow so thats not bad power and yeh lukes vl ran ****ing awesome, always started without a problem. took a bit to warm up due to big **** off tranny cooler, but went ****ing well for stock. needs more boost and a cooler and exhaust tho then a nistune Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats about spot on then Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just need to put the big injectors back in, get a nistune and a adj fuel reg and off i go Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ive driven yours lol . and i dunno about not much less, my sl isnt running right and goes quicker than lukes car and its an sl aswell also i dont need an aura when i can stand out my sunroof while doing a burnout . . . . . . edit: also what i said meant i dont know why ur car read so low, get it redynod Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

did you feel it??? its like what a shark would feel swimming amoungst heaps of fish. if it was running 10-12psi it would only be a touch off.

i think thats the aura of driving your own car lol. i didnt really feel it, tho its special when i drive my calais. and if i was running 10-12psi in the sl itd be a new ball game all together, then again i could run 15-16psi fine aswell but id drop 2nd all over the road and then things would be bad lol n/a box would not like

I agree with duke57tt i think dyno readouts are no good for bragging rights etc there are some many varibles which affect power readout like settings on the dyno, temp and humidty etc, or weather or not the cars strapped down and tyre pressure can make a difference. i was watching on jakes dyno a ve clubby and jake unstrapped the rear end to show the driver something and when he unstrapped it it moves up on the front rollar if you get what i mean, and this resulted in an extra 10-15kw gain.

i didnt put it up for "bragging rights" so dont get that idea, even moreso if u think it was bragging over adams car. he ran stock everything even cross over where im running a t3/4 hi flo and a cooler etc, i just thought his dyno reading seemed low for the car. i put it up because its the only car ive ever owned thats been dyno'd before. and also i thought the boost reading was wrong but i just read it incorrectly. if its bothering you all so much il take it down
