hey guys thought it was about time i made a thread about my wagon had it for a few years now and thought i should let people know how my genuine calais turbo wagon is... well its come a fair way since i brought it, when i first brought it it was completely stock down to the radio only change was it had a set of walkinshaw wheels fitted, standard ride height everything.. i then decided to lower it and add some different wheels along with a 3inch exhaust and a cooler and a little more boost which all came together quickly. the cooler will be ditched for a gk tech hidden job soon. soon after it was converted to manual using all the right gear including mx7 box and flywheels etc and the right coulour manual insert, this came about mainly becuase of the fact i was runing a little more boost now the auto didnt really like it and started to slip. i then decided that calais wheels were the go so i borrowed some off trent looks neat with them. and i brought a complete set of side and rear venetions for it off this forum which looks awesome now fitted. then brought a set of 19s and did a couple of formals this year on the calais wheels and 19s at the moment i am getting ready to rub it back and get it painted but also in the future i will be giving the motor a freshen up and getting a few little things for it along the way to improve drivability but not playing with it to much. pics are coming as soon as i can upload them.. cheers chris edit: heres the pics as i got it^^ and now with the 19s Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice wagon, I test drove it and was gonna buy it when it was for sale a couple of years ago. Did you buy it off a bloke named Scott?
