not sure with calibras but cavalier have a big buldge in the floor pan for where the txb sits.. sut i suppose you could allways make it into a 4x4 turbo somebody make a 2wd one into 4wd on mig.. so it is possible

novarobbo
28-10-08, 12:40 PM
both haha but it did have a stupidly chipped ecu in it so that could have something to do with the bottom ends going rev limiter at 8k :wtf:

hendrix
28-10-08, 12:41 PM

novarobbo
28-10-08, 12:42 PM

i think its ment to be a xe it must be on the change over year as it hasn't got the v grille

28-10-08, 12:48 PM
lmao at the air filter and gheyness wheels but looks pretty tidy. Reminds me of the C20LET cally chelles bro had.
Still think it should have been an ecotec and didn't realise they did red ones as late as M.

Nope as the turbo shell has the bulge in the passenger footwell to allow for the transfer box and it has the transmission tunnel and irs set-up wherras a normal cally she does not (same floorpans as a cav iirc)


I think my mate rich has just bought this aswell as he text me this morning saying he had just bought a red calibra valver on the cheap!

hendrix
28-10-08, 12:50 PM
but like you say it might be a crossover year and could be a 1993 model registered on an M if you get me

hendrix
28-10-08, 12:51 PM
