Thats what pisses me off,calibras are really nice cars especially the turbos.

Why rip it out and stick it in a shopping trolley.

Jambo's old calibra was mint as fuck and much nicer than any corsa.

If they are rusty as hell and a total dog on the body then fair enough.

But to buy one in that condition purely for the engine seems a waste. I'd like to see that go to a calibra enthusiast.

Cant see the resemblance tbh

And also they get put in corsas / novas because they proberly weigh half as much, and like Dean says a lot are proberly quite rusty and seen better days.

IF he wants close to 2K for it, why not get a recon one from Vaux. Then get second hand loom, MAF sensor and what not.

Then you have a 0 miler for around the same cash.

Because the talk about Vaux doing that for 2k was for the C20XE not the LET....well as far as I know.

Also there would be a lot more things than just loom,MAF.

I highly doubt theyd supply the gear box
Clutch
Millions of sensors
ECU
Cooling
Sump

Not sure about engine components inside too, does it come with internals?

It would be a shame to break it yes, but if its going in a minter that is capable of doing a 13sec 1/4 mile then why not

See what your saying.....but I don't agree.

Looks like a really nice Calibra, and theres not many left.

Just buy the calibra, you'll get alot of your money back from the bits you don't need..

You'll need on top of that calibra - engine mounts, shafts, exhaust, and a blanking plate to 2wd from 4wd...
