UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE HOW IT IS NOW !!!!!!!> http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=112886
Hey guys just thought id show everyone my ride its pretty basic for the moment but if i dont sell it, its gonna have a big future!
When i bought it, it was completely stock and i bought it off a old engineer who was crying as i drove off. And i have done this so far.
Mods:
2.5 inch full zorst with no muffler. (sounds tuff).
Dumped on Ultra low rear and super low front springs with GT Gas shocks.
Big stereo, inc. Front splits, 6x9's in rear and boss audio amp driving them, Pioneer deck (the one with bluetooth and sexy 3d display), 2 x 12inch comp kicker subs and kicker monoblock amp driving them.
Cold air intake.
Also mini spool is going in this week sometime as i got it tonight.UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Ps for all that dont know its a VS calais series 2. LOL
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
dont sell it.. and get the all 4 of the calais rims on it, polish them up and tyre shine, rims look sweet when the cars dumped.. they were my old rims.

dont sell it mate, modify it to the way u want it to look.
selling for 8k
also if i was to keep it i would deffinately either turbo or supercharge it... and also put 3.9 diff gears, do you guys reckon its worth putting money into an ecotec?

if i were you id go and see C.O.M.E Racing and get em to build you up a 4.2 litre V6 stroker, then perhaps a blower upon that?
my view tho, white Holdens are cursed, theyve been a pr*ck of a thing to me, first one a white HQ got T-Boned by a P plater whod had his licence a mere 3 F**KN HOURS!!!!, second was a white VS, got nicked on NYE '04, he didnt get far tho, punched it into a power pole about half a click down the road at around 100.

Blower kit, end of story.
far easier to fit and generally will give you less trouble in the long run
ive got a spool fitted to my vr v6 with irs, best money ive spent on the clug bucket
dont sell it man, id love to put my 5spd in a vr calais instead of my acclaim lol much more comfort!
nice ride

Thanx guys, i will put spool in but i cbf changing axels all the time as they will break wont they? I was contemplating a manual conversion just so i can clutch kick :P
I have stolen this from another thread i have made and just want to know your guys opinions... i am really confused why my fuel economy is soooo bad, for instance i will fill it up which costs usually around $60 give or take and i am only getting around 240-250km out of a tank. And trust me i have been driving like a grandma now as i am starting to worry! It is running fine and the auto is sweet but for some reason its just really bad on fuel! i have had it serviced and it didnt change, i also have noticed that the engine light has been coming on when i sit on the freeway and it gets really hot when im in heavy traffic like the gauge is at 3/4 which is really bad.
Any comments are welcome and help would be much appreciated. Thanx for reading all of this
