This is my new toy, a VL calais with saddle leather interior completely standard. The vehicle is factory turbo charged and is a great daily commuter. No real modifications are planned for the future though I am looking at upgrading the turbo charger as the old one has collapsed it's bearings allowing 5mm play causing all sorts of problems. Future modifications include:
T04 Garret turbo
Custom exhaust manifold
External waste gate
Front mount inter cooler
ECU upgrade
Decent sound system
New front bumper (to accommodate inter cooler)
This vehicle though a personal favourite is also plagued with electrical problems. Its previous owner took too much out of the stupid book of dodgy advice. The wiring harness has been chopped that supplies the nsf windows, none of the power windows work, The ac vents don't work, headlamp covers don't oscillate and the stereo is also not working. Got allot of rewiring to do. Not much planned at all for this wonder at the moment though as it is a daily driver when the turbo is replaced. Am using it to pull my boat round and for mainly highway use. Wish I had some more money to do the modifications I wanted but due to mortgage and family commitments will have to put my dreams on hold for a while.
