Converted it to a manual.Put a Calais disc rear end in.Slotted DBA rotors.Lukey extractors 2.5' inch exhaust with cannon muffler.Top gun 10mm plug leads.Pod filter. Calais series 2 dash cluster,Calais series 1 seats and door trims.Pedders lowered springs in the front,cut King in the rear.Whiteline panhard rod.Bonnet struts. Calais tail lights and centre garnish.19x8 RJR Tremors in chrome. All thats left to do is to paint the car in Turismo blue and roll the rear guards,then put a sound system in.
