just browsing for cars which i could buy and have got looking at calibras. can be bought very cheap. prob end up if i got one a 2.0 16v. reliabilty? anything to look out for on them? whats peoples general opinion on them?
saw this black one and i love it, would put my 17" dare v4s on and slam it, exhaust and perhaps somesort of front splitter and chrome cage and of course put my sparcos in it. think itl look nice and would cost next to nothing. what u think?
are all the hubs 4 bolts? whats offset is best for them?
feel free to shop some dares on it if u want

Most of the older ones I've seen have rotten arches.
The above one looks nice but I'd imagine you wont get one that clean in your price range

ye i was thinkin that, but im sure if i keep lookin il find one. could even get a shitter and repsray it if need be
wont cost much to kit up the way i want it tho...
sparco buckets - already have
17s - already have
sound system - already have
coilovers - fuck knows lol
exhaust - £150-200
cage -fuck knows again
and then may get a splitter and maybe. just maybe a spoiler
and then a good polish over

if i wanted cream lether il prob have to gte it all re-done for it to look nice. maybe if i like the car after i bought it il splash out on retrimming everything including the buckets
ye good idea about tints, but have to be very light.
