  • Hyundai Coupe V6 (167 hp) vs. Calibra 16V (150 hp)

    I talked to a workmate who bought a Hyundai Coupe 2.7 V6 3 months ago for 19900 € (one year old) and he said that he recently pulled off a Calibra (motorization he doesn’t know, nothing was on it). Of course, he could have been the NE. He asked me how much horsepower mine has, I said 150. He promptly replied that he was sweeping away. I told him that his V6 was certainly going well, but he should not underestimate the Cali 16V. To clarify this, I don’t want to duel with him, but I’m already interested in how the odds stand. I once Googled: Coupe V6 8.2 sec. on a hundred (6 gear, his is a 6 gear), with automatic 8.5 sec. . That’s how long the Cali takes. Top 220 km/h, automatic 218 km/h. The Cali is 3 km/h faster here. His weight is a little more than 1400 kg! Exactly he didn’t know. How do you see the thing? I also read that you shouldn’t feel anything of the 167 hp in the Coupe, since Even the 2.0 16V is said to be more toxic, but it won’t get you anywhere.

  • A few questions about Calibra…

    Hello everybody, I’m usually on the road in the BMW forum, but it could be that I’m going by here more often in the future… I’m looking for a new car for me…at the moment I’m still fluctuating between a BMW 320i (Coupe) and the Calibra. Now to my questions about the Calis: Which motorization is recommended? I personally tend to the 150hp version – is that advisable? How about the consumption between the 150hp and the 170hp engine? I think the engine falls out of the selection…because my kumpfel drives 115hp Vectra A (is probably the same engine), and he is already too lame for the long run…. Is it really still recommended to buy models around the year ’93, or do you have to drive them to the workshop often? How does it look in general in the maintenance of the Calis? And I also have no idea that the box rusts away under my back… The prices for nen Cali are in my opinion so zieml I’m in the basement, or am I wrong?? Thank you for the answers!

  • GSi blows Cali: Brings the 8V?!

    Hi @ all, my question is whether the 8V is recommended with regard to driving performance in the Cali or if only the 16V with 150 hp. I recently drove the 2 L-Calibra and was – frankly – disappointed. Although the car was in really good condition, he has NO CHANCE against the Kadett E GSi 8V, in which the same heart beats. I mean, the Cali is a really timeless-beautiful car, absolutely, but it’s a pity that a sporty-fast looking coupe sawed from a “small car” That screams for more performance? What do you think?! CS

  • Can’t you register a Tüv car in England?

    Hello, I had already written a post on the topic of Tüv, but as it looks like, I can’t get my car through the Tüv because it’s too rough. But I have acquaintances in England. Can I register my car to a friend in England? As far as I know, you only need a steering wheel and a handbrake in England… 🙂 Or would I have to have a second residence then? That wouldn’t be so easy, because of rental proof etc… But would it be possible if I had the one on a Fre Then I would load my car on a trailer and drive over. But does the car have to be registered? Or do I have to pay attention to anything else? And can the police then what??? Can someone help me??? I would be very grateful for reasonable answers.

  • C20XE doesn’t work anymore!!!

    On the highway suddenly the yellow motor lamp started to shine, and the engine hardly took any gas (as if it was only running on 2-3 pötten)!!! He ran 101 km and the previous owner said that the timing belt was changed at 98000. When I stopped, it squirted at the front right out of the wheel box. (Water pump?) Had left small water puddle on the ground. If the water pump had become defective, then the timing belt jumps down immediately? How should I proceed, because the Mo it sounds like he’s in the ass!!! BIDDE gives me a few tips so the road will have me again!!!

  • Speedster for beginners???

    Hello, my son’s birthday is at the end of July. As a surprise we would like to give him a car, he has often indicated that the Speedster is his “dream car”. Now we are faced with the question of whether we can expect this car to be a beginner or whether we should decide for a rational car like bsw. Golf ect.. What do the Speedster drivers mean among you…

  • Which Opel would you buy right now?

    Meal, at the request of “45hp” now here a small survey, which Opel model you would buy at the moment. Please only realistic suggestions and not “clear – nen Speedster Turbo”. Multiple selections are allowed and desired, you do not have to set yourself on a model. Please do all this independently of the current crisis – here it is only about which models would enjoy strong popularity and the Forenusers would address. “No more Opel” is only intended for the case, The crisis should not be associated with it. If you comment a little more on why and why you would choose the model, the whole thing would be even more informative. Greetings, QPhalanx

  • My Story – Calibra

    Hello first of all! Yes I’m new Something happened in my life, and it doesn’t give me any fucking rest … I’m driving a Tigra 1.4i with 90hp. Not exactly a rocket but it’s acceptable. Yesterday I was refueling, so I saw a Calibra 16V for sale (150hp). I didn’t want to buy it at all, since I’ve never driven Cali before I wanted to test it. So it came to me that I made a test drive. First the seller then I had the honor. yp was driving in the second gear up to 100 on a farmer’s way … my god I had wet pants Then I had the honor … shit … but the feeling was so awesome I can’t forget it anymore! The Cali was not lowered (my Tigra it’s not) but was in my opinion already like a board. It really knocked me over this driving feeling … I have to talk about this car … otherwise I’m going to go to hell Does anyone have a Cali here? Did it just come to me like that or did he fall I’m cool on the road? What’s with susceptibility to this 150hp engine?

  • Calibra good as a beginner?

    Hi, since I quickly move on to my 18th year of age, and of course I do my driver’s license, I also need a car. Since I already have a training vehicle at opel for the next year as a car mechatronics technician, it should be an Opel. I had the Calibra in my eye. So I wanted to make out first of all, whether you can take it as a beginner car. I had to get the 115 ps version before me. I would also like to know how to get the insurance costs. n is. I probably let the insurance run over my father. He drives about 250000 km in 2 years because of his job, white though not if that’s good but well. So what can you tell me about the car in general? Reliability, performance, consumption,… mfg
