Ok guys and girls.. I know it’s been a long time coming.. But here goes.. (be warned it's long.. just look at the scroll bar on the side ) Firstly www.CalaisTurbo.com.au (http://www.CalaisTurbo.com.au) hit a milestone of 10,000 registered users! Along with 53,600+ Threads and 660,300+ Posts. Now that’s allot considering we are a single brand/model specific car forum, also considering we do not do any outside advertising (apart from a few stickers on cars). Advertisers CalaisTurbo.com.au went through a few changes to allow multiple advertisers of the same business type and selling the same product to come aboard at the same time. Now I think it has so far worked to everyone’s benefit as I don’t think I have seen such good prices for new quality items ever… ( I used to pay these prices for o.k. second hand units!!). A few new advertisers that have jumped aboard are: JSPEC - Automotive Products 6boost.com - Turbo manifolds and packages. gktech – Alarms, Recaro seats and intercoolers hsvtrev – Offering us all NITRO fueled Remote Control Buggys CPC custom plenums – Custom Plenum Creations www.CoolingPerformance.com (http://www.CoolingPerformance.com) - Water/ Methanol Injection kits Drift Shop Australia - www.driftshop.com.au (http://www.driftshop.com.au) Again a full range of automotive parts. Jdcustom – JD Custom plenums VIGIL CAR INSURANCE – Looking After Legends (thread can be found in the VLT general section, sticky at the top) There ads offering everyone great prices can found in our advertisers section HERE (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=65) I would also like to thank the following sponsors that have continued to support us: Bresciani Racing – www.BRESCIANIRACING.com.au (http://www.BRESCIANIRACING.com.au) RACESPEC – A range of automotive parts. Jet-6 – Electrical Services and minispool sales. www.tuffcarparts.com (http://www.tuffcarparts.com) – Full range of Automotive parts. Thanks.. Now everyone help support the business that support us! A few things that have happened and are going to be happening. Vic -Bresciani Dyno day was held to help open their new workshop. And what can I say, it was fantastic. John and Danny did a great job to keep us all entertained, and there were so many VL’s it was amazing. Pictures can be found scattered throughout the Vic section and a vid or 2 are available on the fullboost website.. Hopefully they have another one soon. (Special thanks to Owen "VLRB20DET" for helping to organise it.) -Another CalaisTurbo.com.au Dyno day was held at the Rajab workshop and was organized by our very own [HAMOUD], who did an excellent job making sure the day went of without a hitch.. apart from not getting a hot dog I say it went excellent, the quality of peoples cars was great, and some big name melbourne cars showed up to put on a show. Pics of the event can be found in the Vic section and Vids (provided by Wog-VLT and cleanvlt) can be found in our d/l section. NSW -Calais Estate Cruise 3 is being setup for Sunday October 16’th.
