Surely once the engine is out and into a nova you can get to the rack quite easily?

I can't understand the hatred for Calibras, I've always liked them!!

But I feel your pain working at one, nothing under the bonnet is handy worked at!!

How come it's a Vauxhall though if it's an Irish car?

I really like calibra's. I'd love a turbo, but i've been on the lookout for a while and 90% of them are wrecked.

So do you buy a mars bar and keep the wrapper and throw away the chocolate?

Thats all a calibra is, its the wrapper around a Let engine that youre sposed to throw away once the engine has safely arrived at its nova lol

its just a cav in drag. Cav turbos have a purpose...calibras dont.

lol lots of Calli bashing going on.

My mate has an LE turbo too, slightly tuned about 250bhp IIRC but his one is a low miler and is totally mint. The guy normally buys M3's, powerful Merc's and all of that modern day performance cars and buys/restores/sells them too and some of the older classics but he loves the Calibra.

Can't say I hate them.
