So this car started life as a factory supercharged vt calais with all the luxury options and has since gone under some modifications to what you see today, Its travelled 216k But dont be worried about that. Most of the engine mods have been done in the last 30k, It has run a 12.6 second pass on a test and tune day at wsid with the air temp in the high 20s. This was what managed to kill the standard auto. ENGINE/EXHAUST: Factory supercharged v6 engine has 1.91-1 rockers an air to air intercooler kit Yella Terra snout and 5% powerbond over driven balancer, I have just changed the Crank angle sensor and serviced the engine with good quality parts (Nulon oil is all i have ever used in this engine). It has Pacemaker extractors that flow into high flow cats into a dual 2.5inch exhaust system, ( one of the cats is starting to rattle i think its the heat shield), It has a walbro 500hp intank fuel pump, GEARBOX/DIFF: The diff has been fitted with 3.73 diff gears and the lsd has been tighten and serviced, The gearbox is fully rebuilt and strengthened and now is fully manulised and shifts VERY VERY firm. It has a Dominator 2800rmp hi-stall with a lock up switch so it still cruises like a dream when its locked. Building the box cost over $3500. SUSPENSION/WHEELS: Lowered around 2 inchs on king springs with ultima shortened struts in the front and a 4 point camber kit and monro rear shocks, It has rodney jane 20 inch chrome wheels with BRAND NEW tyres, BODY,Custom Candy green over gold pearl respray done around 12months ago, Has a Genuine Vy ss front end with a custom modified front bumper to show the intercooler vy ss side skirts,Vt clubsport rear bar VX tail lights and the whole body side of the build has be with genuine holden parts only, From wipers right thru to the clips that hold the rear bar on.
