off the road

For all general things Calibra related

off the road

by Allys Cally » Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:36 pm

as of saturday night the se9 will be off the road for a couple of months or so. basically i'm not using it as much now and the tax is due up at the end of the month and i'm not re-taxing it just to sit out the back door doing nothing.
plus i want to get the throttle body enlarged and i've just been into vauxhall and ordered a new inlet manifold gasket and a set of lower divider gaskets for when i put the 3l lower divider on.
other than that i'm hoping to get it in to get resprayed round about march-april time. i've saved up about a grand so far :D
not that bothered about any of the other shows in the first half of the year but i really want it done before Billing, so fingers crossed :mrgreen:

well lets just say i'm glad the car hasnt been painted yet, like most of the country we've had high winds through the night. well a bit of felt roofing off next doors neighbours garage has came off and hit the car basically its scratched the bonnet and hit the passenger wing mirror as well :evil:

needless to say i'm super pi**ed but i'd probably be worse if the car had been painted already. worst of it is i'm waiting on a new car cover coming as i pulled my old one out last week and it had a big rip in it :(

dont be daft Steve, the guys on the brew so will hardly have insurance. plus i dont think i could claim for it anyway as i had a similar thing happen a couple of years ago with the 8v. somebodys wheelie bin got blown into the bootlid and put a big dent in it ended up costing my £200 to repair it :(
