Hey guys, I thought I would show yas the turbo wagon First up thanks to Alex for making this happen! here it is out the front now riding on stock calais rims and heres the engine bay.... yes ill get around to cleaning it up, polishing bits, painting the rocker cover etc when i have the time Im going to keep it looking stock while I do some engine mods and eventually I will decide which direction I want it to go: keep it a sleeper or kit it up (either way its getting a colour change ). Right now its got: stock rb30et, bored out 30thou, t3/t4 turbo running 6psi, turbo timer, boost gauge, cai, k&n filter, 3" dump to cat, vlt auto with 3g stall and i think thats it really.... oh got a hybrid cooler (not mounted tho) In the near future Im planning to get the rest of the 3" exhaust, cooler hooked up, diff rebuilt with lsd and 3.9(?) gears, shift kit the auto and put on a flash B&M shifter, some tint, chrome the rims (or more polish), lower the back end more with either super or ultralows and finally some custom plates. Any recommendations for these things and also places you have gone to that have done great work (even if they are expensive)? Um yeh think thats about it, see yas on the next cruise....

Brian man you dont understand how much your cred ratings have just gone up bruv. Congratulations, looks hot. Sleeper it man, no over board kits n shiz at this stage, bomb the motor, diff, box etc first, then maybe some rims (oh your gunna need some 4spot brakes too!) Don't hate the beige either man, its good, put some pearl over the top or something, would look hot! PS - i've attached a pic and my family, they like VLT's.
