Guest trikdoutvl

lol i aint defending the calibra here but i thought id throw up some interesting facts i found about my calibra on wikedpedia

the cali shares the same getrag 6spd manual box as the top of the range gtr bmws

also shares the same engine management system as the f50 ferriaris :)

c20let 205bhp with a top speed of 250k's.... 15.1 1/4 mile all that stock as rock (mine properly has 5bhp)

no doubt there unreliable but im sure in new nick id give a few skylines a ran for there money...

before u flame me i own a 4wd manual cali n yes its sitting in my driveway with a f*kd turbo dash dont work n host of other problems but with those figures u caint say there complete crap

i think they are ok too they just come witha few problems main one being transfer boxes dont last long so they end up being 2 wheel drive c20 let engine is good (i had it in a barina) not the fastest of cars and handle like shit, chassis is off a 1980s vauxhall cavalier but ok for what they are if you want a cheap "possibly" still 4wd turbo car...

Suck me Ash, already seen this thread 3 years ago when of the members on our Calibra forum posted a link to it over there...then proceeded to make us look like twits by digging up such an old thread. It was back when Hamish had Stewie as his avatar and I wasn't even on these forums.

What is blowing my mind, though, is that I can now see trikdoutvl (the same guy who recently delivered many lulz in the wasteland) was actually member on Club Calibra 3 years ago and I didn't even remember that in the wasteland. But now the username is even ringing a bell...dear god it's a small world. Was bad enough when I discovered Kris used to be on CC too.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
