1996 Vauxhall Calibra 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went at 85,000.
Head gasket went at 87,000.
Tires are scrubbing out at three or four month intervals!
General comments?
The car looks great and has a great balance of speed and style for the money it owes me, if anyone has any ideas on how I can stop my tires scrubbing out then please speak up, the car is lowered, but surely these companies wouldn't sell lowering springs if they're going to wreck your tires?
