Hows it go with the nitrous kit mate?? Im tossing up weather to throw a set up in mine now, worth the coin?

Yeah it's really good, pulls HARD. I have always seen nitrous as cheating though, but it's fun!

Hahaha awesome sounds like a good investment. Im more looking too use it on the line to spool quicker

any updates on this thing?

Not really. I made the mistake of selling the Devonish VR Clubsport seats and have put the E85 conversion on hold. I have bought a HDi EBC for it, but haven't installed it yet and I'm entering MallaNats on the 28th!

Love the progress and no-nonsense attitude of this build. Great work. Good to see someone getting in there and doing things themselves.

thats what building a cars about! not payin someone else to do the work for you, except for paint and panel work of course

The VL copped another thrashing out at MallaNats yesterday. I had it back on the dyno there and it pulled 302rwkw (only mod since last time being 50hp shot N2O). I didn't make it too far in the "Drags" event due to major lack of traction but I did make it to the power skid final. I'll post pics when I find some!

I'm thinking about it! I should be spending the money on other things but I'm getting an itch lol

Little update. I put a Brightline Pro Fabrications under car surge tank in it. I also bought some gauges. Auto-Meter Sport-Comp; oil pressure, metric water temp. and boost pressure. I mounted them in the sunnies holder with a Brightline gauge holder! I have also registered it and it's back on the road! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looked neat on the cruise the other night mate, happy to be back cruising it now? howd it feel on the street?

Nice mate! Great work!

Cheers boys. Its good to have it back on the road! Once I got to the meet and saw everyone else's cars, I realized I should've washed mine! Haha.

That has it's own thread. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=158540

On the weekend, I made up a parcel shelf out of 9mm MDF to mount some 6x9's to making sure the holes where placed so the metal work did not have to be modified! and a random pic of Me driving it on sunday arvo! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I finally got a high rise console on the weekend! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I bought a S2 Calais console lid and colour coded dash vents a few weeks ago and the head is cracked. My own fault though, its had a tiny coolant leak from the turbo lines since day one and I cbf fixing it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have sent My cam and lifter blocks away to Wade Cams for an 818b regrind. Also ordered a set of Crow heavy duty valve springs. I'm also currently doing some port work on a spare head which will be getting all the goodies before being swapped over!
