thats a nice calais mate.

would be a pleasure to drive no doubt

You've hit the nail on the head with the exterior! Looks fantastic. Good mix of sports meets luxury. I love the sleeper feel about it to, no one would ever guess it has nice big turbo under the bonnet :goodjob:

I'll ask first, why only 7psi?

I'm not the tuner haha... But was told that the lack of fuel system is holding it back.

Nice ride mate,she's a total sleeper alright until you open the bonnet. Bet you can't wait till you get the twin pump fuel system,add abit more boost and hold on!

I see! For some reason I assumed it was your choice - not sure why haha.

Anyway, :goodjob:

awesome! I love sleepers

you won't be able to wind the wick up too high on the standard bottom end, anything around 8-10psi is on the limit for the LS1. You won't last long at that range and when they go bang, ou'll more than likely wreck the block costing big $$$. keep the boost low until you forge it.

also, very nice ride. It's almost exactly what mine will be like in a few more months. Can't wait for this hairdryer to be bolted up, just saving for a fuel system and new valvetrain.

enjoy the rush bro.

Something about a VY Calais with a HBD kit that gets me, everytime. Looks awesome buddy, even better popping the bonnet and seeing a big snail there.

Looks insanely well kept too

Looks great, I like the OEM+ look.
Quickest grandpa around! :lmao:

Haha thanks everyone.

Will be swapping the supersports for some ssv's and lowering it about an inch within the next month

I love it with the supersports, sets it off perfectly. Looks pure "class" as it is IMO

This is awesome! I've got a white one exactly the same, full stock though.

Well done, love the clean look, it just all works nicely together clean body and not over the top chose of wheels
