Calibra C20XE - What To Keep?

[Dave.]

Basically a Calibra C20XE has come up very cheap around my way an its too good to refuse, if all goes to plan ill be picking it up next week and dropping the engine out and scrapping the shell

Before anyone asks, the engines getting stored untill im on the right side of 21... or 40, its too cheap to refuse, less than scrap value because the body is rotten, but the engine is sweet

I need to know what to save off the Calibra to use on the Nova, what looms do i need? Do i need to keep the shafts? What about in-car loom for the ecu etc? have no idea whatsoever to keep :(

[GDN16v]

Engine, box, ecu (out the drivers foot well) and the wiring loom from the engine to the ecu.

Its more than likely the shafts will be well used and the cv joints will be only good to fill the bin. Pointless keeping them unless it has got the half shaft fitted!;)

[RossRog]

got leather?! if so sell to me haha

[bmw156]

when we broke the calibra, the only parts people wanted was the engine is redtop. and the interior if leather.
they have fook all else on them that people want.

[grooge]

brakes? not sure what brakes they have but guess ATE calipers?

[Mazz]

Anything attached to the engine really, brakes and the inner CV's

[Bubba]

brakes? not sure what brakes they have but guess ATE calipers?

i believe so.

door locks, ignition, dash bits, anything that could be put on a cav really.

im sure they have full IRS too

[Adam]

Id keep anything youve got space for tbh lol
People always want the odd bits every so often.

[Andy]

Engine,box,brakes,leather (black if it has it in good wrap),those shyte volt gauge things that everyone gets wet over,Cat to weigh in seperate and thats about it.

If you take out the whole loom you could separate the wires from the loom and have your trip computer working properly :d

buzzing,my escort van must be "in theory" capable of 150mph.Wicked:cool: lol

[Spudly]

Mate after seeing the postmanpatmobile last ngiht, id say its capable of nine billion mph, more with your epic headlights, would be faster if you RS'd it lol

[Jack]

Yep, was about to say I had a spare dialset from a V6 calibra that I robbed the tacho out of - that had 160mph dials on it.

In fact I think I MAY still have the dials sat somewhere in my shed.
