It was not a difficult job at all, and I advise everyone to give their Crankshaft sensor a clean...
This small issue made my car go bezerk, and made it extremely dangerous to drive...

MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO:

Not sure about it's location on the other motors, but on the V6 it's to the right of the Oil Filter...
Thanks for sharing Eddey!

I often thought about getting a 2nd V6 Calibra, for use as my Daily Drive...
:think:

Anyway... I saw an Ad on Gumtree, and decided to check it out...

My intention was purely to just 'check it out' and try to expand on our Sydney Calibra Group...
But I was too tempted, and ended up making a reasonable offer, and bought the car instead...
The car had only 80,175 Kilometres, and is in fairly decent condition...

It looked rather neglected, but with great potential...
The only downside, was that it had been out of Registration, for over a year...
This meant that getting it back on the road, would require a 'Blue Slip' (MOT) Comprehensive Inspection...

I obtained a Vehicle History Report, which listed 4 Previous Owners...

1st Owner: Nov 95 - Aug 98 (3 Years)
2nd Owner: Sep 98 - Jul 05 (7 Years)
3rd Owner: Aug 05 - May 12 (7 Years)
4th Owner: Jun 12 - May 14 (2 Years)

Bought: 19 May 2014, and Registered it four months later, 26 Sep 2014

To get it driving safely, I had to change a coolant few hoses, as they had split, due to corrosion...

Other than the Basic V6 Engine Upgrades, I'm planning on keeping this car fully stock...

THE OWNER: Eddey Dancer

YEAR/MODEL: 1995 - YE95A

ENGINE TYPE: Rachat de crédit trésorerie travaux C25XE - V6 - 2.5lt

ENGINE ACCESSORIES: Upgraded Lower Manifold & Metal Cam Covers, SIMOTA Performance Air Filter

BODYWORK: Stock Standard apart from Clear Side Indicators, and a 9" Aerial Mast

BRAKES AND SUSPENSION: Ultima Front Brake Pads & Standard V6 Shocks and Springs

WHEELS: Original 16" 5 Spoke Alloys with Tyres Sizes 215/50 R16 on the Front and 225/50 R16 on the Rear

STEREO COMPONENTS: Pioneer DEH-P9200R Head Unit fitted with the Standard Speakers

INTERIOR: Bug Eyes Style Interior Light fitted with LED's
