ok so i was at hungry jacks tonight and my car wouldn't start. seems that the wiring for my CAS is rooted it will be taking a trip to the auto elec tommorow. thank god for RACV

thought i'd make a list of things i own but still have to fit, for me as much as for everyone else. to fit - 1" master cylinder mf5 manual conversion no - name extractors boot garnish and taillamp surrounds centre garnish + stickers. change 1 x injector to fit to new engine - vlt inlet mani vlt cam fair bit of work no? btw fixed the CAS plug all done for $50 just got it back a few hours ago, done in one day

heaps of new pictures!!!!!!! - vs ss seats (thanks to hyphsv) - in car - recent pics of the car - tucked into the corner of my shed.... - s2 calais air vents much? - new engine - wreck the fella above is my dad Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've seen that man before... It'll be great when all your colours/parts start to match Mitch. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

woo new pictures - well with that covered.... here is the latest part to join my collection. now have a vlt cam / exhaust mani / inlet mani / exhaust mani heatshield Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

got 5x vyss rims last night. 6 tyres all crap except for one and 1 wheel is rooted. the other 4 are OK but need some attention talked him down a bit but probably still payed a little to much.

also worth noting (Bogsy) i found 2 front doorcards for a s1 beige calais today at the wreckers to add to my parts pile (for one day when i want to restore this thing) $28 what a bargain Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sweeet so heres the go with my s2 engine - (parts to be fitted and cost) engine and mf5 conversion - $600 (made 200 back on selling parts) vlt exhaust cat back - $150 stage 1 AVO cam - $100 vlt inlet manifold t/b runners and fuel rail - $150 vlt exhaust mani and exhaist mani heatshield - $50 t03 wastegate actuator dump pipe fuse rail heatshield oil and water lines banjo bolts gaskets airbox - turbo pipes - $400 so thats $1250 so far and now i need to get the head and block acid dipped internals given a bit of attention and then some paint a cooler kit and all dropped in.

so heres an update over the last week the car has had a service consisting of - oil and filter (engine) sparks leads rocker cover gasket also recieved - extractors inc. new cat and exhaust manifold gaskets. vl walky wheels are removed in favour of vlc wheels and will be sold to fund tyres for the 18" yvy ss's also on the new s2 engine - removed a heap of bits and pieces and started stripping the head down. head has been recoed at some stage and the engine looks to have been in and out of the bay before (had scratches on the hoist mounts). oil was black and there was way too muh of it but otherwise the engine looks to be pretty good.

looking good

cheers mad wog! good to see people are still reading this. oh and the extractors are great if i hold it at 3 grand and then back off i get this awesome crackle it reminds me of paddock bashers i had which ran no exhausts, just pipes!

so whats been happening? nm. sweet F all. i fitted a set of vs calais front doorpods (beige in colour so they match the colour of the car more.) and apart from that just heaps of km's. also bought a set of vp calais rims as rear runers for the vy ss's (new skid rims)

new pics - now i've had an accident (not at fault) and details are in the members section which is where it will stay. new doorpods (top) old doorpods (bottom) - 2nd hand doortrims and s2 vents - claybarred, autoglym paint renovated and autoglym super resin polish - compare this to an early pic taken should be on the first page - dumped much??? - Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
