Thinking of switching my megane coupe for a 92-94 red top 2.0 16v calibra. Any pics of interior would be good. Would want one with all the toys including AC but no sunroof although have seen a few with both on autotrader Every bit of info would be great.

cheers

you will be lucky to find a calibra without a sunroof 99% have sunroofs as they are metal!
a/c is also very rare in a <94 redtop your looking at a ecotec if you want aircon

The centre console is exactly the same as the one in the mk3 Cavalier.

You could also just do an 'image' search on Google too...

The interior is near on the same as a cav.

One thing i have found is that my cav turbo seats are far better than my old Calibra turbo leather as they dont tilt forward the seat is alot stiffer.

The Calibra is a lovely car and still can cut it in the looks stakes.

I have owned two calibra turbos (my first at 19!) Lovely

This was my first ( i still maintain this is the cleanest car i have ever owned!) This was bog standard





Then i owned my Black one (final power figure never confirmed but thought to be around 280-300bhp ish)

Already had bought a Corsa GSi - planned to put a LET in it. But sold it.

Then i bought and still own my Cav Turbo now.

Inferior work by a local garage.
I didnt drive it daily and i got the car on the wednesday to check it over before making the trip to the Vauxhall/Opel show in Belguim - noticed the brakes needed doing. - I had the discs and pads and took it somewhere local.

They didnt tighten the wheel bolts up properly and the wheel come off on a belgian motorway.

Luckilly i felt it and i was only doing 50mph. Minutes before i had been playing with an Astra Turbo at 140mph which would have been very nasty.
