Calibra Progress *!= 56k*

[filbert]

It could be me but is the "new engine" s/hand with some new bits added externally
Hope it all goes ok, that's a lot of money and time going into it

the engine is second hand but is has had some stuff done to it internally.

3.0 litre cams (more aggressive)
enlarged inlet and throttle body (these are quite restrictive as standard)
4 bar fpr (better fueling)
these three mods alone should see it up to around 200bhp. As a FWD car im not wanting to go too far.

The flywheel has gone from 16kg down to 5.4kg, and hooked up with the 6 speed box from the turbo it should accelerate quite quickly

its pointless me taking it further without changing any drivetrain stuff.

As you can see im changing the wishbones, arb links, cv boots and brake discs, as well as lowering it 40mm so it should handle quite well (for a calibra )

Its going to look great, sound great and go fairly well.

oh and exterior wise, im hoping for it to look similar to this...




The front bumper will obviously be slightly different but hopefully it should look fairly similar i know its not to everyones taste but i like it

[joshwa]

Good work! I think that car would look sweet! (just without the spoiler )

Got any plans for the audio?

I keep getting told to get rid of all my stuff and get another Calibra turbo, your really not helping my cause ya know

[fraggie]

your woman has good taste lol just tell her that it wont fit the kids or dogs, get her on the practicality front

the spoiler im putting on is a small irmscher jobby with a 3rd brake light like this...


Audio wise i have a pioneer already but no plans as such for any more.

Six speed 'box.. nice. Every vehicle should have a 6 speed - don't know how I got on with only 5 before

[[GSV]Trig]

6 speed ftw, 189Mph on the limiter on a P2 turbo....

5 gears is all you need to do 200

6th gear is for fuel economy

i doubt im going to get decent fuel economy in this car if i had an 8th or 9th gear

Im not bothered about saving the world with low emissions or having a car which will do 100mpg and will be really good to a person if run over...

i just want a fairly fast good looking car!

[[GSV]Trig]

Yet you started with a boat?

[fraggie]

unfortunately theres no accounting for taste

will make amends when i get the rex

[[GSV]Trig]

Aye, gotta start somewhere eh
