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 20hp and gained a lot of top end with the new inlet. Andy (OVL087) has 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. Engine WISECO forgies ARP rod bolts ARP head studs Modified oil pump and crank galleries TIGHE cams cam Heavier valve spring + retainers to suit Adjustable cam gear 6Boost low-mount manifold, HPC X-treme coated and wrapped TIAL 44mm gate Genuine GARRETT GT3082R (gt3040) roller bearing turbo RAJAB inlet manifold ARE 610x570x79 cooler with custom stainsless piping Fuel Genuine BOSCH 363 injectors Hi-volume volvo intank pump, + bosch 044 external PFI fuel rail, single feed + dual drain + speed flow to suit SX fuel regulator + speed flow to suit Computer MoTeC m4 with advanced tune/logging.

If you think it's expensive, please say so, but keep the above point in mind. Everything in this car has been replaced over the last 4years, from brakes to bushes. Please not the price does NOT include the wheels. Pics added soon. Asking Price: 20000 [email removed] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok.. just to add it up. A.R.E. cooler + piping + BOV 1350 brakes 400 engine turbo/dump/lines 2000 mani x2 2000 gate 500 injectors/rail/fittings/reg 1200 studs 200 filter 50 short motor 1200 motec + loom +sensors 1600 cdi 400 gbox & clutch 2000 tailshaft 500 detroit axels gears 2000 exhaust 500 stereo 800 shell 3000 fuel 250 gauges 400 TOTAL 20350 That's just the stuff i can think of, without taking into account the two hundred bucks of redline oil in it, the new radiator, the new throttle cable, the proper deutsch connectors throughout the wiring, the heat wrapped wiring, the solid shortened shifter, the new rear rotors, the new flywheel bolts, new radiator overflow bottle, bushes and suspension, tuned and running, the rust cut out from under the front windscreen and welded back up (NOT bogged), QLD ignition leads, and allowing only 3K for the shell. my point> everything has been done properly, i have replaced everything that was in doubt or needed doing. This is a running, fast street car, done properly, not on the cheap. If you are interested shoot me a PM. i should also add that includes NO labour, which would be another 10K to put it all together and make it work...
