I don't know, but at a guess the Cavalier/Asconia that the Calibra was based on wasn't exported to Oz, because Holden had their own mass market saloon. This means that spare parts are likely to be more expensive over there and second-hand spares from scrappies are more difficult to find.

like shince said, never go to Holden, they charges tonnes.
Ebay UK is always good. I found vaux-world on ebay uk good, he's willing to post most items to OZ. I paid 20 pound (~$43) for a pair of window motor units, and I've been quoted from wreckers starting at $160 each so for certain parts best to stay clear of wreckers too.
I never tried autovaux but lots of others have and say its good.

good luck

Matty & JPT where you live in vic? Im 2.5 hours east of melb in country town named Sale?? Any of you live near me

Holden is indeed expensive.. Last week i had to get 2 rear of front k frame bushes and that cost me 120... However i did get camber kit for 60 instead of 110 since i work at repco

Should organise a cruise in a couple of months. i need to tune my car though its not running too good. Jeenous seems keen on it, all interested should reply with a post of where they are from. Shince im pissed off you are on the other side of australia cause i really wanted to see under you bonnet, it seems like you have done shitloads to the engine bay. Keep in touch all and use the main forum as much as you want, but just remember to always have a quick glimpse at the aussie forum as well.
