    Unhappy Calibra's Going

    Well, needing more doors on the car makes the Calibra a touch impractical...

    What can I get with the same kinda performance but 4 doors?

    why do you need more doors? might help answer the q. you could just get a cavileer and stick all your bits in?? same basic car, so surely most stuff would fit??

    m5??

    Cos getting the lad in and out of the car with the Cally is a bit impractical...

    As for a car with the same kinda performance, I'm actually doing a straight swap for a Cav Turbo

    You're looking at a bit of an ill cosworth under £4000 really, this much is true.

    Although I know of one for sale I wouldn't mind at all and it probably cheaper than a lot of Calibra turbos.

    Cheaper than a Cally Turbo, your jokin' I only paid 2k for this one, since then Iv'e spent about another grand on it..
    FMIC
    Seat
    Injectors
    Tyres n other consumables.

    The Cally Turbo seems to go from about 1k upto about 6 dependin on its age/condition.

    you might laugh but at this sorta money a [850] t5 wouldnt be a bad choice - loadsa power on tap (225bhp, fairly easy/cheap to get to 300), get the right one it'll have all the toys.. and its pretty subtle (which, judging by the old car, is something you like??)

    you can probably find a m or n plate - like this perhaps? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-VOLVO-850...QQcmdZViewItem
