Gedday here i have my 1989 Holden Vn Calais,I have owned it for 5yrs know and it has been my pride and joy.I bought the car from an old italian bloke who had owned it from new and kept it prestine condition and was always garaged. I have been slowly doing it up,Iv done alot of major modifications to the car and engine. The cars best quarter mile run was 12.88 @ 104mph with a 1.9 60ft Time on Street Tyres this was with 1/2tank of petrol and my sterio. Its time to loose some weight out comes the stereo and going to see what she performs like. My next run will be with M/T Drag Radials and became the new Australian Record Holder.

The car itself looks very stock from the outside the car looks like a true SLEEPA.I get people turning heads when I rev it out to 2500rpm and the winding and chirp of the supercharger sounds awsome. The car itself looks very clean in and out. It has been lowered to the legal limit because of jackers always pulling me up.But mechanically the car isnt stock has had a lot of modifications been done to it.Please let me know what you think of my car, will be much appreciated.Some of the mods arnt listed as there is to many to be mentioned=!!More Pics to Come!!Bought new personlised plates wont let me upload the pics

MATE, I cant wait to see your updated page, those are some serious numbers you are running there. I was looking at the stroker kits but I spent way too much money.
Your right about the sleepers mate. There is nothing better than a nice set of rims, good paint and an engine combo that blows them away.

Are you going to the street commodores Cruise 4 Charity?

Hurry up and update bro, Im very keen to see the set up. Did you get heaps of pics through the Re-build?

Nice looking Calais mate. Those CRS kits are a bloody good thing. When the thing gives up the ghost, you just replace them. I went the Vortech option with my VR.
Come check out mine sometime. Keep up the good work, sleeper all the way.
