Hi guys n' gals hope all are well. Well this time is no exception for me going nuts on a car lol. So first of all, lets recap for those that have forgotten or haven't seen my cars since being a member on here.
First was the Calibra 2.5 that had a 3.0 engine then went back to a 2.5 again:-

Then was the Vectra SRi that had a Turbo lump dropped in:-

Had a Frontera for a bit aswell:-

Both of those went and then got a Vectra GSi when my daughter was born which I had remapped, uprated cams, exhaust work and filter (mild tuning for me lol)

Now i'm again tuning the life out of another car. it's great cuz i've now gone back to the old school and bought my 4th Calibra hehe. It was owned by a 66 year old for 11yrs and was cared for no expense spared at all. I'm now the 4th owner which aint bad for a 14 year old car. So far it's had:-
Tuned 3.0ltr engine from Courtenay Sport
Courtenay Light weight Flywheel
Courtenay uprated clutch
Courtenay 4 bar fuel pressure regulator
Uprated fuel pump
uprated injectors
Courtenay panel filter
Courtenay centre section
Equal length drive shafts (next best thing to a LSD)
Cool running thermostat
Larger radiator
25mm lowering springs
And remapped at Courtenay and now running 245bhp normally asperated
Including the service history it has £10,498 worth of receipts
Gonna get it cammed, ram air system, 150cpi sports CAT and hopefully some time in the future i'd like to supercharge thsi one.
Right, piccies. She isn't much to look at so far as she is seriously a wolf in sheeps clothing. But if you bare in mind that the chassis has done 212,000 miles (engine has done 93,000) shes a minter:-
Sorry about the dots on this one, i messed up when exporting in my graphics program lol.
And for how many miles this car has done, i have never seen a Calibras leather in this condition:-
My plan as far as looks are to colour code the bump strips and get a set of nice white 17 or 18 inch wheels on:-
I'm goin to try and mount my camera on my dash when I go to a track day in a few days so i'll see if my passanger can record the dials so you can see how quick she is
What ya reckon then peeps?
Cheers, Badger
