VXT Racing Development's Calibra... UPDATED 21.04.14

[Calibra_Mike]

Got round to repairing the rotted out rear bumper brackets yesterday, the noise of the bumper rattling was sarting to bug the hell out me...

Not a bad job, got hold of a strip of ally from B&Q costing only £5 and basically made a new bracket to the shape of the old one... not the best pics but you get the idea... should last a little longer...

Liking them bumper brackets

Right took some better photos of the brackets, all complete and in place... simple repair that should last for a while...





And a couple of photo's of the Calibra in its new home, all stored away safe

lol like the brakets, i did the same a few years back lol

[Calibra_Mike]

makes sense doesn't it lol... your old ones look just as bad as my ones...

[matt_b_uk]

lol how they where even still holding the bumper got me lol

[Calibra_Mike]

Oil pressure sender fitted... now have a working oil pressure gauge... thats another item ticked off the 'to do' list

[Calibra_Mike]

SO its been just over a year since I got the Calibra, here's how it's changed over that time... Still lots more to do yet...

[Calibra_Mike]

Fitted the bonnent extension yesterday, just need to get some filler on it to get it looking flush and then I'm going to get the bonnet wrapped in carbon fibre effect...

Update of the Bay...

[Calibra_Mike]

Made the most of my day off yesterday and the good weather and got the rear brakes sorted out... The old ones still have some meat left on the pads but the discs were looking tired and since I had picked up a bargin on ebay a month or so ago (Drilled and Grooved second hand disc for £10) I thought I would get the new discs fitted with some new pads... forgot how much of a pain it was doing the rears... Handbrake had to be adjusted which always causes me a headache lol... Calipers were also painted but I forgot to get a phot of them at the end, Doh...

[Calibra_Mike]

Like that you mean

[leelee]

you have got the discs on the wrong way around.

[Calibra_Mike]

I knew someone would notice that... I relised that after I had finished... to be honest though I dont think it matters, I had a set fitted on my last Calibra like that for a year and never had a problem... I will get round to changing them over at somepoint, for now though I really can't face having to strip it all down and do the handbrake again...

[Calibra_Mike]

Well not much has really happened to the Calibra in the last couple of months since I last updated this thread... Have managed to get round to changing the torn interior panel in the back and while I was at it decided it would be worth fitting my old JBL speakers from my last Calibra still sounding good for 4 years old...

Stripped...


Wired...


Fitted and ready to go...


Been a slow year, maybe some more things will get done over the winter as the car isn't going to get used much in the bad weather... which reminds me... I need to get two new tyres sorted...
