1993 Vauxhall Calibra 16v red top review from UK and Ireland
"Fast car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator switch. not costly to fix.
Central locking door unit. £45.00 from Vauxhall.
Electric window. switch needed replaced.
General comments?
My Calibra has a j&r induction kit full free flow stainless steel exhaust with cat replacement pipe 18 inch alloys & an apex 40 mm lowering kit.
The car is quick, but it won't pull away fast in the wet because of the length & weight of it.
It will even spin in second putting the foot down in a straight line, though in the dry I have beat VTRs, CELICA GTIs, FOCUS 170s, LOTUS ELISEs & any bmw up to 3 litres.
