[D-Man]

is that not one of the Lenk number plate surrounds

No mate, this is original GM part
I've only tinted it black.

Mate...
From where you get the Number Plate Surround???
I must get one for My Beautiful Calibra, here in Australia...

I got it from one lad on a local Calibra forum for a bargain
They used to appear on a German eBay, but usually are sold for a crazy sums

Above mentioned missing part is got. Also found out, that I need more than just dash...

[D-Man]

F28 has been mounted and it was discovered, that gearbox has it's usual problem - crunching 2nd gear... However I've managed to find new original synchromesh gear rings.
So do hope my gearbox will work fine soon.
Meantime also tx box has been reinforced in swedish style Will get it cooled as well soon.

Got my synchro today. Brand new, original part

I also need a least ABS from later turbo engine (with 25 pins)

and what is this Swedish style then??

why cant you use your cruise control now ??

I've read that cruise control won't work with elec. speedo on speed over 50mph ...

[Fraz]

I thought it was depending on which CC you used ...Carlton/senator or Omega Vectra

[Fraz]

just had a check and it does say on teh guide I have

Fitting Cruise Control to the Cavalier/Calibra from a Carlton/Senator


WARNING DOES NOT WORK ABOVE 50 MPH ON L REG AND NEWER CARS
CONSIDER FITTING A VECTRA/OMEGA SYSTEM

[D-Man]

Mine is from Carlton/Senator.
Will have to take a look on how to fit newer cruise control from Vectra.

[D-Man]

After being traveling with a car (not Calibra, just rented TDi) in different mountain areas I guess I have to go for a biturbo
Luckily we have had a positive experience with biturbo setup on Calibra before.

I've met a few of them in my life.

We have not so much sleepers here in LV

Couple of new bits arrived:
- Bosch 300lph fuel pump
- Reinforced Sachs Performance clutch cover
- one more 1st-2nd gear OEM synchro, as I decided to refurbish whole box, and not just change one crunching 2nd gear synchro

Next step - 5 bolt wheel hubs from later Calibra/Vectra, SAAB/Vectra GSi caliper holders and 3xx brake disc to the front.
BTW if anybody has used SAAB/Vectra GSi calipers for sale - please let me know.
100GBP for new set from LMF is not an option for the time being.
