i bought this calais s1 n/a a week ago for $1500 and have been working on it after work, i have some pretty big plans, hoping to get into the tens as i have always wanted to own a car that can do it.............thinking of going a candy purple with course metallic flakes under the candy with silver on the bottom and skirts, or a candy blue with a pearl through it. for the bling parts of the motor im gonna go the 6 boost top mount manifold with the gt 35/40 jpc plenum jazzed up ROCKET cover all wires hidden battery in the boot fuse box moved just a nice tidy engine bay. anyway here are some of the beast, well not so beastely at the moment. suprisingly only bog in the roof and and around the lock,thats all.
