Fucking loving this car mate, do you update your project thread on MIG much? If so I'll have a proper read through that tomorrow, what about the other barge, are you still planning what you said a few months ago for that? (Not sure if you've kept that on the hush or not so I hope you remember what I mean lol)

OHC dude I haven't put a thread on MIG to be honest for any of these. You'll never be popular on MIG unless you drive a really old Nova with some expensive uprated rally car bits on it. You then have to pretend it's a real rally car and could compete with a 4WD Evo or WRX. Only when it falls apart from rust and you're left with nothing but a windscreen in your lap will you be accepted by MIG.
So no, no Calibra on MIG.

Yep. They can all circle-jerk over a 1.6 Corsa sport with depos and cav slabs but not much else

It's built for 400bhp or thereabouts but I haven't had it dyno'd yet.
Gmax is actually the best suspension kit for the Cav/Calibra by common consensus  I know it's not right on the Corsa but every car is different.
Ok here's some random pics in no particular order

No it probably won't, but I don't think any Vauxhall owner in their right mind should be doing trackdays. That's like entering a girl with downs syndrome into a beauty contest.

Well I've taken it out on the road but got far too much attention off chavs and cops so that's no good. I don't want to take it to shows... so it just sits there tbh

Yep maybe or a decibel insert for track
Like i say though it's more a matter of principle - I would feel a bit of a dick taking any Vauxhall on track.
