Guys and girls, I thought id put it up here first to see what kind of interest I get from it. Basic Run down.. 1988 Calais Turbo Maranello Red. Its a converted turbo, But done the right way with all the right parts. Interior It has near perfect beige interior, small rip in the drivers seat which can easily be fixed, beige carpets to match the interior. Auto meter sport comp 2 5/8 boost gauge, Auto meter sport comp 2 5/8 oil press gauge (not hooked up) Auto meter digital shift light with 4 point shift / leds ( 8 colors) has option for trans break / launch control and some sort of recording for shifts etc Momo Copy wheel JVC Head unit with Ipod controls, Custom tuning bands and EQ's, its a competition head unit. Kenwood 4inches in the front Alpine Type S's in the back. Sony Explode Subwoofer Alpine MRD 350 amp powering it. Beige factory interior, with beige carpets to match Will have photos for anyones request. Motor has done 148XXX kms, Ive had it since 98xxx, Iam the seccond owner to this vehicle. Its been converted from factory n/a with the following parts. T3 turbo ( has been rebuilt 1000kms ago) I have receipts and everything as proof. I have been told by my mechanic it has a slightly bigger front than factory. Has been decomped with a competition head gasket (3layer) new headstuds (ARP) and the valve gear has been freshened up. Timing chain etc done, everything to get it running right. It has a 600x300 Cooler which just slightly hangs out the front, pipes with no holes (modified to suit), and the stock airbox setup. (airflow meter relocated). The oil lines on the turbo have all been replaced with brand new ones. 3inch all the way through from the back of the dumpy, 3inch pacemaker and gutless car, + 3inch with 2 resonators for a nicer / quieter sound. 9mm ICE racing leads, and ive done the dizzy cap and button upon converting it. The box in the car is n/a and its holding up fine, I dont drive it like an idiot so therefore its fine. Paint Has just been redone, its cost me a total of 5200 to fix all the little dents and cut the rust out. It has brand new tires all round, with atlas white/porta walls. The car is lowered with just king lows all round, looks fine the way it is. Car has been serviced every 5000kms, auto every 10. Just for peace of mind. Its fitted with an alarm, (aftermarket which cost me a pretty penny) This car owes me heaps, and id like to see it go to a good home not a muzza. At this time im looking at offers, im not 100% sure i want to sell up. I have looked after this car like the eyes in my head, when ever somethings ****ed up on it i havent cheaped out ive just gone the long hard yards. Pictures below, contact me here guys or most of you have my msn! Im not after any swaps just cash, unless you have a s14 with low kms and luzury model dont even think about it! The car is roadworthy, I got one done about 6 months ago, and since then its barely done 1500 kms. At the moment I dont have time to obtain another. So ill leave it up to the buyer. Happy to send interstate if need be. Thanks. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

quote/reply removed - NZ EVLHSV Back up for EOI/SALE. Ive gone back to uni/partial employment, will swap for something of use if not the cash. Will Sell the car with 12months reg! Edit, I have another auto that can go with the car, took the car out of a friends wagon its been serviced and works and shifts fine just have not had the time to put it in. some more edit, I will add in all my vl spare parts to go with the car as a bonus as I would have no use for them anymore. At the moment im on the look out for a r32gtr .. Astra SRI or Possibly a WRX or a Silvia. All Swaps welcome but im looking for something relaiable to get me to and from uni and work. The car has been sitting in storage for close to 3 months now someone needs to enjoy it!
