The C20LET that's gonna be in the car near future



And I also got a good 2hand driveshaft passenger side ( driver side UK ). 

It's almost time for another big cleanup inside ( seats need new leather polish protection ) and outside needs polish, but I'm just to f_cking busy with my company lol, see if I can make up some time for the Calibra 

@ Ben

I've changed the top bearing and rubbers on both springs not so long ago ( as they had play ), and also checked the spring in it's overall condition, and didn't find anything, no cracks.

I have no vibrations when breaking  It's only starting above to vibrate through the steering wheel and the car a little above a certain speed, and get's less when travelling faster. I had a passenger sitting next to me ( right side ) and he said the vibration was the worst on his side, as I almost didn't feel anything on my side, confirming the driveshaft possibly....

I did check every little thing last time, even the roundness of the tires, and only thin I found was to much play in the right driveshaft middle cv joint. I could move it vertically about 0,5 cm up and down, and cv joints as far as I know shouldn't have vertical play. I guess this caused the vibration problems at certain speeds ? I did get a a good right driveshaft now, but didn't have time yet to fit it to the car 

Pics from today, still shiny after I polished it last winter



Wheel arches are no rust to be seen  I love Finnish made Calibra's 

I assume that the specification for rust protection were identical for both factories where Calibras were assembled.  Do you reckon that the Valmet factory in Uusikaupunki applied that protection better than the Opel factory in Antwerp?  Possibly because of their experience of protecting cars from more severe weather?

I don't know if this has ever been proven, but rumors go Finnish ones where better protected.

How can I tell whether my V6 was built in Antwerp or Uusikaupunki?  Or, for that matter, how can any owner tell where their Calibra was assembled?  Is there a code in the chassis number?

Yeah, A guy who knew about this once told me, you can see it in the chassis number though. But exactly how I don't know either. But he told mine was from Finland.

Anyone know? Rob? 

plus, when i changed my handles to the colour coded ones, there was a sticker behind the door card on the inner door saying something about Finland

Did it say "Angus, f*ck off to" above it?

Cheeky c***, but i accept i left myself open to that one

By the way, those are the handles i bought of you because you couldn't be arsed fitting them
