For a Nova/corsa trackcar? cant afford to be without a car atm and want something with a little more grunt, but dont have the cash! what a bummer!
Just interested and if the offers right i might take it

Quoted from migweb as i cant post links...
Its a Calibra SE4 M reg, 164k miles but the engine has been replaced this month.
The 8v 2.0 engine has done 145k but was rebuilt 15k ago and came from a carlton. Im told the Oil was changed every 4k since it was bought and had full service history before that. Before it was put into the Calibra all seals were replaced as the crankseal weeped abit.. New clutch, also replaced Oil pump and water pump and cambelt change.
The details i have on the engine are that...
The head is modified by Bill Blydenstein, the head got bigger inlet and exhaust valves so obviously new valve seats and valves were fitted. Im told it was Fully gas-flowed by BB himself and has a Courtenay Sport Hi-Torq cam (Piper 270 degree).
All new valve train components (hydraulic lifters, the lot), gaskets, seals, etc. were used on re-assembly and a new water pump was fitted too. I have All the receipts for the engine that total over £1000
Was set up on a Rolling road at came out at 140BHP in the carlton with standard Ecu, airbox and exhaust, The calibra has a Stainless steel exhaust that might make a difference.
No real service history with the calibra as my brother and stepdad are mechanics and have worked on it and kept it in tip top shape.
Lowered by 40mm, 18 inch alloys with 4 good tyres that have done about 2000 miles
Cat to back Stainless steel exhaust system from Longlife.
Arches are lovely and are regulary cleaned!
Infinity rear & front components and Sony headunit with sub and amp.
Blue light conversion inside. All clocks and switches are blue led.
Badbits:
Driverside anti-roll bar Droplink will need replacing which would cost afew pounds from vauxhall-car-parts.com.
Suspension bush's could do with renewing but she still drives lovely.
Small 50pence piece bubble of rust under drivers door above the sill.
Usual stonechips.
Rust appearing above rear numberplate the size of 5p and a smaller patch on the passenger side door where the window rubber starts...
MOT untill Oct 2008 - No advisorys on last MOT
Tax untill April.
