Alright, might as well start off - this has been my project for quite a while.
It's a series 2 calais turbo, with an LE bodykit and pretty much all possible factory options (sunroof, electrics, etc). Since i've owned it, almost every part has been replaced with new/better parts.
After cracking 3 heads, I got a bit shitty and somehow an RB30DET got built up for it, using CP forged pistons and an RB25DET head (with VCT).
The gearbox is just a modified turbo auto, should be getting a manual for it once that dies! Estimate that it makes around 200rwkw, so it's done well surviving that!
Mags are 18" BSA 291s, and it's also got all the usual 3" D&T exhaust, front mount, etc. Runs a powerFC for engine management and engine bay was tidied and resprayed while the engine was out.
Hopefully I can bugger off the standard rb25 turbo soon and get something bigger. :D
Anyway... pics ahead! I'll put some pics of the actual build up process a bit later when they're organised.
