My calibra

by R1CH1985 » Sun Jul 12, 2009 9:57 pm

Here is my calibra, nothing special at the minute but ive had it about 3 months now and loving it. It's a 1990 (H reg) 2.0l 8v. its got black leather interior, sunroof, lots of paperwork, service history. I have some plans to mod it up a little like alloys, spoiler and maybe tinted windows.
Heres some pics.

Looks very tidy for its age, good find mate. Some nice alloys and drop the suspension a tad and should look very good

As above...

Tidy looking car you have there.

I agree with Bodge, some nice alloys, slight suspension drop, and a 'subtle' spoiler, would look really good.

If you need a hand with anything, give us a shout.

All V6's and 4x4 turbos are 20mm lower than standard 8v and 16v models.

DTM's are a further 20mm lower i.e. 40mm lower than standard 8v and 16v

I hope you gave the plastic a good scratching first. That could crack and fall off if you didnt.
