unfortunatley funds have run low after spending 18k modding a calibra over 4 years and fully rebuilding the engine with upgraded parts only for the car to be written off. Then made the mistake of getting another with my insurance payout only to have engine trouble again and lose 3k in the space of 5 months when lost compression. Hence why i sold up and decided to get a VeeDub

Amazing price, don't blame you for getting it.

I start to wish I'd bought a 1.8T with more miles on to save money really :(

had to down grade on the power as me last calibra was running near 300bhp and me golf is roughly 215bhp according to the old owner. Power delivery is alot smoother though and ride is brilliant.

Bobbarley, think i fell lucky on the car mate, would have preferred a lower mileage one but from what ive read if the car has been regularly serviced then they are good for a longtime.
