Some of you may know my car and some of you may not. It is a VR Calais with a 4.3L V6 Turbo'd Stroker in it. It has been featured in the Street Commodores magazine and i have won several trophies with it. It is painted in House Of Kolor Tangelo Pearl and Passion Pearl with a Marbalizer line seperating the 2 colours along with green pin striping. It has had a full interior done in leather an Macro suede. The stereo consists of a Pioneer DVD screen headunit, 2 Eclipse 8" headrest monitors, a 15.4" roof mounted screen, Focal K2 power 3 ways in the front doors and CV162's on the rear parcel shelf. It has 2 Eclipse 12" SW8200 subs and 3 Eclipse amps powering the setup. I use to have NOS in the car but after the turbo went on the NOS came out. I am currently rebuilding the engine and upgrading a few internal parts. I am also hiding a lot of the wiring and relocating the coil packs to the back of the motor. I will also be painting up the engine bay which i have been waiting to do for a long time now. Anyway, here are some pics of the car. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The first pic is the bar that i have on it now.

I'm currently rebuilding the motor as i blew a head gasket. I have decided to upgrade all the internals in it aswell. Here is the list of what the engine will be getting. Stage 3 Crow Cam Heavy duty Crow Cam valve springs Yella Terra roller rockers Trend pushrods New bearings Cometic head gaskets Rollmaster timing chain Diamond Forged pistons Billet conrods HPC coated manifolds and dump pipe Custom made alloy oil catch can There will be more to add to that list. I was thinking about putting NOS back on it aswell.

I like the interior... the rest is way too riced up for my liking. Looks like you've put a lot of work into it.

good effort mate, I can appreciate the work that has gone into it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah its different.

Cheers guys. It's not going to impress everyone but thats ok. I built this car for me. I built a Suzuki Swift GTi not long ago. I did build it to keep it but decided to sell it. Here are a few pics.

Here are some progress pics of the engine.

Had the engine tuned today. 344rwhp on 13pound boost with 850FtLb of torque. Going to do some more tuning later this year and will see over 400rwhp.
