so... something interesting...

[Calibrated]

well.. i got a random phonecall the other night....

asked if my cali was still for sale..

naturally i said, not anymore...

so he offered more than what i had it advertised for.... :eek:

anyway. he's flying down from rockhampton next week, one way, armed with the cash. so by next week, my beloved cali turbo might be gone :(

very hard decision to make. everyone knows how i love my calibra's.

today i signed a "subject to" contract on.....


a 2006 AH 6.5 CDTi. yes, i will be joining the oil burners. :p
but with fuel the way it is, and a few other reasons. its seems the logical thing to do.. $21,990 on the road. and they are going 50/50 on a towbar. so total being $22,224.

Want to see how one goes totally flat out round a race track... driven by the Stig? Watch Episode 1 of Season 11 of Top Gear (just aired in the UK):)

Random I know, but I wasn't expecting it

there is another one from last year when they get the old super cars and the stig gets one of the rear wheels off the ground.

[Calibrated]

LOL. i dunno so much about 47CHU on a turbo diesel :p i might use them im the interim though. maybe the new owner will want them...

was looking at RSA-85 plates. green background, gold lettering. i have them on hold ;)

[95' GSI]

Looks good though. Dont mind the white...

saw that :D
1.48 isnt a bad time actually. no supercar, but probably one of the most economical fast laps at the topgear track LOL.

[USC]

Congrats. looks good.

make sure you remove that bonnet protector:p

also, get the new tail lights and change front grille to one like diesel145.

[glider]

congrats on the unexpected

good luck with the oil burner

[Tigra]

[Maplassie]

Damn Nice power you got there :)

WE got someone over here with just a tad bit less than you, I think you made 405KW wheelpower. Corsa B Gsi Turbo here (my Tuner's old car) made 404KW Wheelpower, and 765 NmTorque, or 750 :)

It's a tad bit more than my 153KW ATW Corsa Turbo hahahah!

and i bet it was a 2ltr c20let too

[Maplassie]

and i bet it was a 2ltr c20let too


Thou art 100%th in thou assumptioneth

Hence me having my Turbo 1600cc motor for sale cause I am sick of only having 1.6 Torque!

I want a minum of 400NM ATW, wich an LET gives gladly :)

[oneightoo]

anyway.........

ash, i thought you wanted an alfa or a bmw?

[poita]

ash ur a sell out, will be terrible to see it go.

and yer, wat happened to the BMW

[Calibrated]

the bmw i wanted was sold... nothing like it on the market at the moment.
no need to remind me about letting it go :( very far from an easy decision. for the 1st time im making a car decision with my head and not my heart.

still have the white cali though ;)

and i'll keep an eye on this cali. maybe buy it back one day if i can...

[Wraith]

Be sad to see the Cali go, but if it's time to update, then so be it...:)

[Tricky Ricky]

That's a strange proposal. Is the guy from our cali club?

Good to stay Opel. But shouldn't you wait until the turbo is really sold, that you've got the cash, before you go out and get another car? Cos sometimes people will change their minds, or come up with excuses to give you a lower figure and there might be a chance that you don't want to sell it to him after all...

nope, saw it on carsales. but i will let him know about these forums.
i received his deposit this morning. he's very serious. kinda like when i flew to canberra to pick up the cali, i knew i'd be driving it home.

also, the offer on the astra is subject to the sale of the cali. so if for some reason it doesnt go through. the offer is null and void. ;) i made that very clear so i dont get in trouble if it were to happen

I was under the impression it is a contract condition written in the sale contract for the Astra that the Cally has to go

[Tfer]

Congrats Ashley.... hope it all comes together for you!

:D

[Tricky Ricky]

Well you've got it covered. The new buyer should be very happy with the turbo!!

Any plans to mod the Astra?

[Calibrated]

but of course heheh

[95' GSI]

Oh dear...
Greenbox ahoy lol

[Calibrated]
