Just to say hi, newly registered member here, bought myself a 16v in North Cape for my 21st birthday. Some on here may be familiar with my parents as they were members on here a while back as diktracy, they owned a white 4x4 turbo which they took to PVS and Billing on a few occasions. As this seems to be a more active forum than .com I'll be looking at becoming a fully paid member, how much does this cost?

Only pictures I've got of the turbo from before it was sold, hence the blurred plate, will have to have a chat with parents to get photos which they have of it. The turbo was completely standard, other than what I believe was a "turbo" spoiler which I personally hated, stainless steel exhaust which looked close to standard and I believe the wheels weren't standard fit either, but pictures can do the talking.

As for mine, as post said its North Cape, I believe it's been lowered 30mm on the front and 60mm rear to get it to sit level? If that sounds correct, it's got bbs alloys and a 4-2-1 manifold, which is it for non oem parts. I plan on possibly changing the wheels back, and getting a stainless steel exhaust, keeping it as standard as possible.

The photos of mine were after a good 4-5 hours of hand polishing, I've now changed all of the bump strips to new ones which were treated to a good bit of back to black as someone had tried to spray the ones which were on it and they were also hanging off. Few interior niggles which I'm sure most/all calibras have, such as worn seat bolsters both driver and passenger, blown door cards, other than that interior is pretty immaculate after a day spent cleaning and protecting the leather. Will be returning home on Wednesday so I will be taking better photos of exterior and interior.

This is because the site owner has either banned people or annoyed them to the extent that they don't go there anymore.

Anyway, welcome to .net. I hope you find it friendly & helpful.
