looks nice mate Seen you around the north, good to see a nice calais getting around. look out for mine, its the same colour as yours.

^^ thanks man i always try and keep an eye out but noth much around the lower north shore , but i see a few here and there i also got a sard fuel reg from timmyyyyyyyyyyyy so that should go on soon along with 3 inch zorst

Weren't you also saying how you were going to pull that front bar off and paint the rheo matte black, patch?

You promised the man patch

i did? but than my interfooler will be more obvious.... i guess painting it will come later on down the track when i get a bigger cooler... end of august is my full license so probs then.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A silver reo makes baby Jesus cry.

so much hate what kind of black is the reo sprayed...? like can i just grab a spray can and do it myself? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

whatever back you want lol, just sand the **** out of it and spray it with a spray can, done and done! its looking nice man, and 175kw on 10psi sounds very nice too, wind the boost up! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

UPDATE!!!!!!! Got the car back from Maatouks this arvo Got a full 3inch exhaust put on from turbo back... has a very nice note to it now Got the fuel reg installed Got my headlights (including high beam now ) all working Got central locking working Anth wound the boost up a bit on it and put it on the dyno It made 196.4rwkw on 14psi but the wastegate is supposedly starting to fail as it drops down to 11psi Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how does the aftermarket gate differ? and does it just bolt onto the original position of the other one i have gcg turbo thongs at home for some reason lol

pik out a gate with a 10psi spring in it or so and the little rod that goes to the gate thell modify that or they might have one to bolt on mine is internally gated have a 14.7 psi spring in it works fine

okay........ well i guess ill have a look into it and let u know how it all goes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mad power, patch. Loving the car man, you're doing it right Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks liam i think thats mostly it for it engine wise apart from that wastegate for now as im pretty stoked with the power of it i think next on the cards mechanically wise would be either the diff, or gearbox as i think its been too good to me its gonna die soon, or forward facing plenum and new pipes if i find a cheap microtech may get that to keep the car running nice and smooth and kinda more economical then i guess tidy up the bay and the car overrall who did ur hidden wiring and smoothing/painting of bay liam?

good power dude about the same power as mine with the same mods :P minus the external gate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how does the external gate go on a stock t3? and is it plumbed back in or screamer?

A mate did my bay privately, I'll track down his number if you'd like man but you have to specify exactly what you want. If I were to do it again I'd go through a panel shop whose gotten results in the past that I like, 2SUS for example My wiring was done at a place in Kingsford, near Maroubra, called Pro Street Custom Rewires and I can't speak highly enough of the work they did.
