Yet another article claiming the Cali is back... Anyone else read/seen the latest article of it in the current Wheels mag ?? Pic looks fantastic and so does the sound of the mechanicals, V6 turbo and AWD !!! Now I'm really pissed we won't get any Opels here anymore...if this Calibra exists...
Just browsing through a Saab parts retailer in the US and I found this; http://www.thesaabsite.com/900new/ng900V6engparts.htm#ENGINES+NEW+V6 More surprising is their postage estimate of just $320USD (though there is a disclaimer that actual postage may be different). Seems quite cheap for a...
SAAB 900s has the same: Power steering rack. Front struts (not sure about springs and top mount) Front Brakes. Rear Discs and Calipers.
to potentially go into another 900SE. Just checking if anyone on here knows of one before I do the rounds of the wreckers. Also if anyone knows what the model designation of that particular box is it'd be great. regards, Jerram
Anyone know if the ignition coil that will fit a Cali turbo is readily available in Australia ? Looks like my loom has 4 pins in and 2 wires coming out of the coil. Cheers for any advice.
Hi All, Have the 900s booked in for the change to gsi cams - just need to come up with a list of replacement gaskets I'm going to need. I'm thinking 2x Tappet Cover with Spark Plug Inserts Upper-Lower Inlet manifold anyone think of others?
Looking around on carsales, Found this! Anyone own this ? Had a lot of bodywork done to it. Looks mad specially in black. ...
I've just spotted this ECU on ebay, that's been courtenay chipped to 300BHP. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/C20LET-ECU-With-Courtenay-EDS-Phase-3-chips-300bhp_W0QQitemZ120555669182QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1c11ad86be#ht_814wt_907 Would it kill a stock motor ? ...
Since ive decided to drive the calibra up to QLD, i thought it would be time to get the not so important, but necessary things fixed. Also going to get cruise fitted :D in saying that, can any Victorians out there recommend anyone to do: A/C Compressor replacement Heater Core replacement...
Hi all First post here. I'm helping my son with a problem with his Calibra (94, 2L 16 valve, YE). Symptoms are it starts OK from cold, runs well for about 5 minutes, then starts missing and spluttering. If you can get it through this rough patch, which only takes a few minutes (a long...
Interesting question; does anyone know for sure which cylinder bank is one and which is two? I'm hoping it's the same for all of the 54 degree GM V6s, but I've heard conflicting reports (eg someone says bank 1 is front of car, someone else says it's rear).
As some people know I've recently aquired a V6 Saab 900. Whilst the Saab engine designation is unique, in reality it utilises the British Built c25xe engine found in Australia in the Calibra V6 (and also uses the Opel F25 Manual Box). Anyway, since I picked it up I've been having intermittent...
Has anyone installed aftermarket seats on the Calibra?. Just need some help on how you guys went about it. My 93 calibra has a safety feature attached to the original chair and some people are telling me that it has to be put on the new seats. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hello everyone, i have had my Opel Calibra 2l 16v DOHC for almost a year now, but it has been in the family for about 4 years. I have decided to go with a full engine rebuild and have pulled the engine appart with my mate at his workshop. Many pictures to come as soon as i get an account with...
I know there has been a lot of chatter in this forum's life regarding ignition components for the 4-pots, but I can't seem to remember anything regarding the 6s. I had a look at some of the Saab's plugs today and yeah, they need a change I reckon. So, What are you V-Sixers using? What's your...

Hi All, have some questions for the cali experts here. -Is it possible/has anyone fitted the Vectra B style dash/trip computer to a calibra? -Are there any other turbos than the original (oem )that can be easily fitted to an otherwise unmodified c20let?
