Hi i have just bought my first calibra last friday so thought i would join up and see what i can find out about my car and hopefully meet some new people :) I did have a mk4 astra until jan when i sold it and been looking for something to replace it since then i got offered this calibra turbo a week ago and bought it on friday. i know its gonna need a bit of work but i dont mind. what do you all think? :think: it has had a full wash since the first picture though

well I am glad your not afraid of some work, as it does look like it needs it

but DTM turbos are quite rare so worth the effort...so long as you did not pay too much for it
