My First Car, Vz Calais

[Vegemite]

This is my First car I purchased in June 2014.



It is a 2006 VZ Calais HBD. One feature I like about the car is that it has the factory Sat Nav. When I purchased the car it had 109,000KM

Since Purchasing in the car I have put a set of wheels on it.



After a few months with these wheels I finally decided to lower it.
I initially went with SSL in the rear, SL in the front with Monroe Shortend shocks.



I felt that the rear was too low like that so I decided to go and get the rears changed to KHRL 46HD springs in the rear. It sits a little bit higher, doesn't scrub and the ride is a lot smother compared to the SSL. I also felt that the SSL made the car unroadworthly as I could not even place a coke can under the side skirt.



Currently I dont plan on doing anything else to the car except possibly tinting the windows in the future.

Good move raising the rear up a bit mate. Car looks great in Odysey.
Personally I like the original wheels but I'm getting old.

 

[Vegemite]

yea I agree that it was a good move in raising the rear, I dont mind the original wheels but being a teen I was always going to change them.

Good looking Calais. Future plans?

 

[Commo Baba]

yeh , get those windows done.

 

[Vegemite]

I agree, they don't look the best without any tint.

 

[Vegemite]

Other than tinting the windows in the future I may put a towbar on it.

I like it with the new wheels some dark tints should make it look mint.

 

[Vegemite]

Yea the simmons are mint. The tint needs to be done but not urgently.
