Well, looks as though the calibras comming off the road during the week after a spate of problems. im a tad upset as i wanted to run her down the pod, and was due to have her rolling roaded after i fixed the boosting problem (well i thought i had) but clearly its not to be.. so far shes got an engine managment light on (hall sensor or possible loom fault), not holding boost again.. a slipping clutch, cuts out on cold start, exhaust is blowing, she blows a plume of smoke when really hot (randomly) and runs really hot..

Time for a rebuild i think (to a better spec aswell)

and for the national meet marge may make an apperance

it is a goodun, especially for the price i paid, but its been running near enough 300 brake for most its life... boost was cranked right up at some points (to over 20psi so i have been told ) so its no surpise that its taken its toll.. its on 115000 miles now which is pretty good going..
