1986 Holden Calais VL Turbo Sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump kicked it in. (running it on almost empty consistently) passenger power window played up.
General comments?
This car flys. mods include: nizpro oil pump and water pump, nizpro camshaft, nizpro cam sprocket, nizpro plenum intake, nizpro headers, nizpro intercooler, throttle body, loating carillo rods, cosworth pistons, garret ball bearing turbo, nizpro dual boost control, motec ecu, vt front brakes, bosch 984 pumps. 18x8.5 anz bags
all I can remember off the top of my head, but I have spent a fortune getting this car where I want it, but it has paid off with a recent dyno run of 589bhp so I'm happy.
