1991 Opel Calibra Reviews - Page 2 of 2

The only thing that gone wrong with the car was the oil veins corrosion.

And some traces of a 12 year old car... and the electrical roof.

In the interior some plastic parts are starting to open... crashing... because of the sun.

In my dream of a kid... I really love that car... that's a BOMB... despite of 1991 my origin, the black paint is quite like it has been painted yesterday.

That car is my second girlfriend.

Everybody likes it!!!

Mostly electrical problems, oil leaks, some rust appearing at the door in the recent year.

Nice looking car and it's joy to drive.

Small problems coming back can get annoying.

With my current local fuel prices, pretty expensive to run.

Had some problem with water leaking into the car.

The ABS brakes indicating that there is something wrong with my brakes. Think it's the sensors.

The most irritating problem is rust.

For such a old and really not expensive car it's very comfortably and silent to drive.

And this car looks great too!

I will never sell my car, I'll always keep my Calibra. I'll put it away when too old, and take it out in the summer time.

Driveshaft rubber.

Gearbox gasket.

Engine head gasket (pumped oil into the coolant, but it was caused my driving, read = pedal to the metal).

Great coupe. Good performance. Semi-racing parts.

Lot of features for the price:

- F20 close ratio gearbox.

- Independent rear wheel suspension.

- Discs all the way around - vented in the front.

- Check panel.

- Sequential fuel injection.

- Board computer.

You name it...

And chicks love the design! *ggg*

I imported the car from Switzerland, so here in Denmark I needed to MOT-test it (we have almost the same procedure, MOT every second year if the car is older than 4 years).

So... things needed to be done:

- Gasket at the end of gearbox changed

- New brake discs/pads

- Side blinkers (req in Denmark)

Else? Just fill up with some petrol :O)

Drives great. It's a worthy follow-up to the Manta, back in the eighties remember :O)

One of the most beautiful coupes around I think.

The 16V's performance is good.

156hk (Swiss model) combined with F20 CR gearbox... What can I say?

Dream machine!

The main problem I had with this car is that I replaced the OEM spark plugs by Splitfire spark plugs. This change made my car run poorly. So I removed these sparkplugs by OEM S.P. and the car now runs very well.

A breathless design with a good engine.
