Hello everyone from OpelAus. My name is Dorian and im from Campbelltown NSW. I fell in love with the calibra once my dad brought one from the auction back in 2004. I was lucky enought to get the privalage to swap cars with him. I gave him my 93 mitsubuishi TR magna. And got the 93 calibra.

It came with a lot of problems but have been slowly working through them, even though i had put hours and hours of hard work on the magna i am still happy with my decision on the swap. I enjoy solving car problems, thankfully i have the privillage to know a mate who is a retired air force mechanic.

I recently Brought another calibra for spare parts. The car runs but has Hydraulic lifter noise (tappets).
I shall post pics oon the days to come.
Will definately like to go on cruises with the opel comunity, and hopefully be able to cruise alongside other calibras.

Cheers fellas, anytime you guys want to get a cruise happening let me know.

Yo mexican my cali used to be up your way in QLD.
It was a pain to get my car registered in NSW.
BLUE SLIP...... Had to get stock tyres since my 215/35/R18 where 1 inch too wide, Exhasut was too loud, 4 dB above the limit....BS!. my steering column was loose ( i changed the whole steering rack on my calibra since the other one just died on me, some seal was kaput) left a bolt loose under the dash, steering wheel had a bit of play on it.
