NICE! heres a few snaps of my 97 S2. theres more in my cars thread but these pics are better and more recent. shes not much to look at so far since ive only had her since september 07.
took these a day or two before i washed it (except first pic, few months old) and then i didnt get a chance to take more after, but they still came up ok. i was going to post an engine bay pic too but its like EXACTLY the same (angle and everything) as the one already there lol...mines just a bit cleaner.
dead stock for now apart from the calais badges, clear indicators and a new headunit. in august im getting it boosted to 10psi then after that it will either be getting lowered or a new exhaust + extractors. wanna get the spoiler off too but im just taking it slow since its my first car. got alot more plans for it though
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
haha yeah man...i hunted this car down for months. always wanted black but would have settled for a white, dark blue or even silver but not green or red or anything.
its in great condition too...im so lucky to get that car...love it.

yeah thanks mate. im planning to get a set of 19" eleanors. itll be slammed sometime after august after i get the 10psi pulley. once its lowered i wouldnt mind getting the stock wheels polished, looks mint. and that way ill still have a set of decent wheels incase the 19s ever need to come off.

cheers mate. exhaust tip is stock...its the supercharged engine so its got a different exhaust to the regular ecotec, but i like the exhaust tip to be honest. spoiler will be coming off and mudflaps are gone as of a few weeks ago as you can see in the last 3 pics...the first one is a bit older.
i hate the spoiler but i think ill keep it on until ive saved up for a full respray. theres a few dents and scrapes (like that when i got it) and a scratch and little damage under the front bar (thanks alot school car park gutter) that im responsible for and a few specs of rust around the holden badge on the bonnet that i wanna get all fixed up. so at the same time ill get the spoiler taken off and the holes welded up. i know one or two people that might be able to do atleast some of that work so should be sweet.
heres the result of my encounter with the fucked concrete and raised gutter at my old schools car park.
was so shattered...cant really see it unless you stand further away but i hate knowing its there.
but yeah...cheers for the comments guys. i wanna see some more series 2 vs calais' in here...

and pic i took yesterday
cant fault the interior either apart from the expected wear and tear...seems like only the drivers seat has ever been sat in. shes in desperate need of a vaccuum now though.

Does it have LSD since its supercharged?
cheers mate. yes yes i know...the spoiler has to go lol. im starting to think i should leave it on just to spite everyone lol.
the stock wheels arent too bad IMO. i wanna get them polished. black vs dumped on polished 16" calais wheels with no spoiler looks hot. but yeah i will be getting some 19s eventually...not in a rush though.
im pretty sure its just a single spinner, as the LSD was only a factory option and from what ive seen not many calais buyers chose to get it. its my first car anyway so i personally wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the regular diff and an LSD anyway. only ever done a couple of skids and that was out of my old schools carpark...from what i could see there was only one tyre mark. but my mate told me it spun both wheels when i ripped a burnout leaving his house...so im not sure really. any way to check? im considering getting an LSD down the track anyway, after ive done a bit of engine work.
i dont smoke the tyres anymore btw...had my little bit of fun when i first got it and now im taking care of it
and some pics i took yesterday. still fairly clean after a wash two weeks ago.
most of the pics i took with my digital cam came out **** the second one is off my phone and it looks better...
is there no more vs calais' here? this is turning into a thread just for my car lol...maybe i should just update my cars thread...
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
the first two S2s with the VYs look hot. the white VR/S1 kinda meh, was never really a fan of them...and whats with the gauges? black S2 on sigs is hot...looks similar to VSCAL-8. the rims just totally ruin that blue/green VR/S1...yuk, but the gauges and S2 bar with SS lip looks good. and the last one dumped on its arse looks alright, but should lose that VT calais badge on the rear...ITS MEANT FOR THE DOORS! lol

nasty crash out the front of my place just before. laser vs S15...S15s a goner, laser dont look too hot either.
anyway...more pics!
bought this for a family car when my little one was first born a couple of years ago, the misses got over it quickly and wanted an excel so i traded it in on an excel (idiot), 12 months later shes whinging the excels to small (not happy jan)

no offense to your mrs but why would you trade in a sedan for a smaller car when you've started a family? dont people normally do the opposite and trade up to a sedan for the family? lol
only reason i got my calais was because the previous owners just had a baby and traded it in for a brand new holden wagon.
oh well...nice calais anyway. a good set of rims and the SS kit make a VR/S1s look so much better.
