my car is for sale, would like to sell it before christmas if i can, if you interested got in touch! VL Calais Manual RB30T hey all, it has finally come selling my pride and joy. It's a series 2 87 calais. Paint is in excellent condition, interior is very good for it's age, only showing a bit of wear on the driver's door card. So far is has gone 11.91@121mph on STREET tires with the old mx7 it had in it. Since then is had made another 40hp and gained a lot of top end with the new inlet. Andy (OVL087) had the same setup as this except auto with some good fuel, and went 10.8@124.8pmh with slicks. There are many brissy guys that can attest to the speed and response of this car, the dyno figures don't do it justice. Specs below.

Price is neg depending if you want the wheels and plates, looking for 18900. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey Grant.. throw my mt et streets on and go and run a 10 before u sell it will you... here's a deal.... if u break an axle.. I will replace it.... you know this car should be up the list a bit further.. at least before Lukes DO IT.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i might go back and run on streets after xmas if i still have it... not putting slicks under it again, clutch won't handle it. little lone the axles, pinion, or gearbox... onyl going to chase mph, not et.

I wonder if ollie know's how much more power you got from your last tune grant???? mmmmmmm

nice thongs lol mint car, gl with the sale Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Quote: I wonder if ollie know's how much more power you got from your last tune grant???? Is it like top secret info or something ? I guess we'll all find out when Grant races it after Christmas, if he does... should be interesting to see if it runs 121mph again, or if it runs 130mph.. Just for a comparison... and im only saying this because I dont know of any cars that have raced at willowbank that have come off the dyno that you guys use Rick, so not sure how it compares with figures compared to other dynos... but my own car makes 360rwhp on Mercury Motorsport dyno - and runs 11.1@121mph the next day 338rwhp on Matt Sprys dyno - and runs 11.1@121mph a week later. Anyhow.. if u change ur mind Grant.. the MT's are waiting.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That's right ollie, i'll let our result's do the talking, in good time. Never have i said these car would run Quick time's, ive informed you about the power figure's and all in all mate, we are building street car's ATM, our only real customer who is building his for the strip is derek VR 1jz ute, now with his new sponserd WOLF V500, C4 auto, 4200stall and most GAS and boost, finger's crossed. Cheer's WHITEY P.S. good luck grant, post it in carsales also man.

Up on there as well, been then for ages.... not putting slicks on it. no chance. hahaha. I'll see how sean's goes when it running, if it's fixed i might go get it tuned again when i sell the injectors. if i go back it will break 400 again easy as.

I love that shifter!

Never have i said these car would run Quick time's, ive informed you about the power figure's Yeah and wat I was trying to say... which i think has gone right over your head.. is that.. because we are yet to see a car that comes off ur dyno with 300-400-500rwhp run a mph at the track, it is not as easy to compare it to a power figure/mph that a car would run from another dyno/track night. Which brings me back to my point about the fact that u say Grants car has made a considerable amount more power on what I assume from the fact that u've posted in this thread is, none other than EFI PERFORMANCE's dyno... If Grant goes to the track and races his car after Christmas, and does five passes and they're all around 120-121-122mph, then it would be indicative that the car is not making anymore power than it did before, but more likely the dyno that you guys use, gives a reading of (however much hp) more than the last dyno grant got his car tuned on. Refer to my example about my own car: Matt sprys dyno 338rwhp - 20psi - 121mph Mercury dyno - 360 rwhp - 20psi - 121mph Simple variation in the tuning tool... I roll off at Pits and get on at Mercury, and you would assume that im making an extra 22rwhp, without doing anything.. yay more power.. tell everyone - go to the tack and run exactly the same as i always used to.. where did the power help me ? It didnt.. becuse it was never there.. it was a variation in a tuning tool... This is all im saying. With any luck Grant has made a genuine 40rwhp more than he used to, and the car will go 125+mph, but without going to the track, he will never know. Which is why im sure he is still itching to give it a little crack before he finally packs it in. On slicks hahah :P could probably drop them over tonight too Grant HAHA !!

Was Andys idea rick ?? lol not mine.. but I like it, cause should be able to round up a few cars for some on track action....

i can assure you that is does make more power, how much more i don't know, but it is considerably faster on the rd now that it was before it went down. anyway, at the end of the day, who gives a ****?
