| Steveturbocals Conversion Thread
Im posting this due to taking the photos and being in charge of the conversion LOL
Basically Steve has an SE Calibra 2.0 8v which he modded but wanted a LET in it. So we went and bought a Calibra Turbo that he used and modded for a couple of months. Now the time has come to swap the engines over...
Pics today are just of the Turbo, next weekend will see the engine out. So just as an intro here are some pics until next time:

| I agree SRi, Calibras are hideous LOL, but each to their own. Im sure there must be someone out there (although probably just the one person  ) that doesnt like Astra GTE's!
