Another Newbie
Hello
I decided I should stop being an anonymous FB lurker and join the forum properly.
I'm from Bristol and I bought a 98 SE8 Calibra. Not done much to it yet as I only got it just after new years and have been using it as a daily. However I have fitted a set of -35mm springs and a set of 17" Speedline Mistrals. Hoping to make amends with this one, after I broke a Calibra a couple of years ago to donor it's engine into a Mk2 Cavalier I own. I actually regretted breaking that car, so will be looking after this one!
I'm not new to Vauxhalls, having had quite a few over the years but recently you'd normally find me in a Mk2 Cavalier. Some of you may have seen a couple of mag features that my Cavalier convertible had last year.
Here's a pic;

Ok mate
I was hoping my old SE8 was part of the group.
It is in Bristol somewhere.

Re: Another Newbie
I got this one from South Wales but the previous owner was from Leeds. I'll keep an eye out for the other SE8 though.

Re: Another Newbie
I haven't really took any since the springs settled.
This is the newest pic I have but this was only a day or two after fitting the springs. It's sitting lower now.
