Title: Calibra turbo
Post by: Uprising on October 24, 2014, 12:07:05 PM: Hi guys, my story started long time ago, i bought my first calibra in 2008, it was a turbo but it was pretty "dead"...i tryed fixing it but it was very hard, i knew sh*t and it was my first car...so it ended up in my garage for about a year. I sold the girl and bought another turbo, in good condition and the story started...

Post by: Uprising on October 24, 2014, 18:04:48 PM: So guys i totally agree with u, i don't like the kit either, always wanted a tender kit but here is impossible to find, so i changed for stock bumpers and bought a set of Team dynamics rims
