Hey all, I've been a member for a while now so i thought id share my pride and joy with ya'll. I bought the car off a bloke from this forum about a year ago. i wanted a turbo calais but i wanted a gold one because i always loved the colour but we know they are pretty rare so i didn't find one. Then i stumbled across a immaculate s1 non turbo and being on my ps it was a better choice then losing my licence. Anyway i drove the car for a couple months and kind of got bored of it (and the engine was making a few knocks and noises) so i thought i would slowly start doing some work on it. I bought a rebuilt a6 block built to suit turbo off ebay, got a whole turbo conversion off here with a rebuilt high-flow t3 and put all that in. Also converted the car to manual. I couldn't run the standard vlt ecu cos the cam was huge (not sure bout the specs but its the same one that rajab had in his car) so i got a haltech e6x, took the car to Adicted Performace in Hallam and they took the car in their hands. The car is currently on 15psi making 232rwkw. Future plans are: GT35/40, JPC plenum, simmons fr20s one day lol, smooth and paint engine bay, interior... Anyway here a few pics tell me what u think. when i first got it: http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0243.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0243.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0245.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0245.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0291.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0291.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0292.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0292.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0290.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0290.jpg) work in progress: http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0421.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0421.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0410.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0410.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0411.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0411.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0420.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0420.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0422.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0422.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0558.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0558.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0567.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0567.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0571.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0571.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0448.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0448.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...865231_ n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/60789_10150279135700158_540755157_14798269_865231_n.jpg) current: http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...90304 3_n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/165754_10150385309360158_540755157_16838410_6903043_n.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...57909 1_n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/163850_10150374117900158_540755157_16601856_4579091_n.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...656853 _n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/165372_10150374117545158_540755157_16601851_656853_n.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...641448 _n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/165595_10150374118470158_540755157_16601871_641448_n.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...095506 _n.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/166214_10150118073430490_572485489_8165561_1095506_n.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0591.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0591.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0592.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0592.jpg) http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...2/IMG_0515.jpg (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/oluic32/IMG_0515.jpg) ps i know the thick white walls looked ugly that's why i got rid of them lol
