  • C20NE & C20XE economy ?!

    Hello Califorum I got the original Calibra brochure from August 1990. I ran a little bit and there were only the 115hp and 150hp engines. But what misleads me is the consumption of the 2 engines. The 16V is everywhere more economical Can’t imagine. 115hp 150hp 11.1 10.4 city 6.1 5.7 90kmh 7.5 7.2 120kmh consumption 10sec 8.5sec from 0100kmh 205kmh 223kmh final speed Is the stronger engine then from house more economical from consumption, although me Your performance Repair costs and maintenance/warning can’t be afforded either, right?! Unfortunately, I don’t have any of the 136hp engine. Which engine would choose “IHR” if it was worth fuel costs, repairs, maintenance of the car/engine, long life. Driving performance would be completely secondary. vg

  • Opel Calibra Tunning (engine)

    Hello guys! I have a question or a question. Since I am a proud Cali driver I want to drive my car forever, if it is possible. Care it therefore and keep it always well in the shot and in the original condition. Should be a youngtimer or oldtimer. If only there were not the engine. Have 115 HP’ler, though a super machine, is robust, cheap to repair, undemanding, but the performance … for a chic sports coupe dignity, if I start with the engine tuning, only take original parts from battle vehicles. ZB C20XE or C20LET, possibly V6 engine. No fuss or Ebay cheap tuning! What do you think about it, or be satisfied with the performance in Cali and leave everything in its original condition. I still have mood swings at the moment. (Bin by the Senator) Greetings from the Alps

  • Improve aerodynamics at Calibra in a meaningful way

    Hello Leue. What do you think? Which aerotuning is really useful on Calibra? Can you recommend certain manufacturers/products? If I ever do tuning on my Calibra then it should be useful and not for rump rollers Monsterfaces certainly bring no aerodynamic advantage (apart from that the shit looks).

  • engine conversion 2.5 V6 to 3.0 MV6. Is that possible?

    Hey guys, I’m driving a calibra 2.5 V6 right now. Although driving is a lie. He’s standing on the driveway. I’ve fallen for cheap spare parts and now the process is going on forever, expert reports, new expert reports etc… But who buys triangle handlebars for 39,- per piece, is also responsible for himself. And in my distress I have now come up with the plan to get me some kind of clip for a few euros with 2 years TÜV and to finish the Cali properly. a youtube stumbled over videos of Calibras, which supposedly have a 3.0 MV6 engine from the Omega in it. I thought I was cool. And since I already have a V6 the conversion can’t be so difficult, right? I talked to a bird about the ADAC for a short time and he only said something about engine, a Domstrebe about it and done. But that it is so easy, I can’t believe it. Would be nice if someone told me what to do about it. And then I wanted to convert it to 4×4, but The 4×4 transmissions are supposed to be very vulnerable. Are there any recommendations or experiences? Because a 3 litre all-wheel calibra would be something cool. Thank you to all those who make the effort to answer me.

  • Awakening from hibernation…

    Hello guys, Since I wait longingly for the day, on which the weather is beautiful he apparently has come. According to weather report, tomorrow and Sunday, sunshine, blue sky up to 15° and dry roads. Yes and what does a Calibra driver, right, unpack his heart since the Cali is already about 5 months in the garage, service works are all carried out simply ready to drive. Hope on the fine weather, then tomorrow the Cali is washed, only by hand, polished I’m itching right into my fingers Even if many take their Cali as their everyday car, you will certainly understand In good German no sex the last 5 months You can write in here too, if you bring your jewels alias Calibra’s, GT’s or Manta’s, Monza’s out of the garage and finally “awaken” again Many greetings, I’m happy and hope for the weather god

  • Which Calibra should you take?

    hey people I know this topic already existed one or the other time wanted to ask but nevertheless again…. so it’s about…. I’ve been driving exclusively vw`s so far but so slowly no more bucks from it is always the same and therefore wanted to switch to your side 😉 and I’ve been loving in the direction of calibra for some time now…. unfortunately I don’t have the idea of the opel motors and just wanted to hear your opinion which you would recommend so I would like now nothing unusual like v6 or the turbo just the 2,0l or the 16v. so now to the actual question you are familiar with the engines typical weak spots- which runs better- which lasts longer etc. I say thank you for your help mfg micha

  • Calibra in purebred racing trim

    Servus! first, yes, I tried the sufu, but my question was not answered sufficiently. to the actual: we, a few hobby screwdrivers, had until recently a bmw, which was converted to runntrimm. nothing great, but went already well. but as I said – had. he was last cold-deformed and indeed so strong that a new setup of the cost-benefit factor is not worth it. so we are currently struggling with the question which car now. and since I am currently a MV6 engine anyway with manual gearbox from the Omega here, which should actually also be in the Omega, is the consideration, whether it fits even without greater effort in the Calibra. Bzw. there is also the option to take a Calibra Turbo. Questions: 1) does the MV6 motor + transmission fit into the Calibra without greater effort? 2) since the whole should be built again on races (no public roads), which of the standard installed engines would you recommend, also in relation to multi-leist I hope to hear a lot of comments

  • Ebay buyer wants to return car and threatens with lawyer

    Hello guys, I sold my Audi a4 over ebay yesterday and listed in the article description all the defects I know. Furthermore, I sold the vehicle explicitly as a hobby vehicle and excluding any winch, no withdrawal and no warranty. In short, the man came yesterday, visited the vehicle, signed the purchase contract, paid and drove home by car about 300 km. Today the guy wrote me whether I would take the car back, as an If the cylinder head gasket is broken and a swing arm and the repair costs are more than 1000 euros, otherwise he goes to the lawyer. What do you think I can do or what is coming to me? I don’t want to take back the car any more. Thanks already in advance. MFG Hans

  • Stainless steel for Faq

    I don’t know what to do. I’m not interested in the old GT. Achja is about the Rübrik: Rost- Where is he sitting??? How do you recognize him??? What do you do?? So all the worse the rust is all the better. And then a stupid question. Where are the All Weaks in Cali. Know now only wheel runs and thresholdrs. Since my still rust free is still rust free, I also have no problem with the Calibra. I was looking for it.
