If you register as a member, you'll get discount on parts like this from a Vauxhall dealership. My Cavalier only gets genuine parts now, as it works out the same price as buying pattern parts.

I'd imagine most motorfactors will have these parts. Failing that, get on to www.autovaux.co.uk

Engine Tune up

Forgive me if I'm preaching to the converted, but I'd strongly suggest giving it a properly thorough service and make sure everything's running 100% before you look at increasing the power output.

Out of curiosity, what engine is in your Calibra?

Plugs & Leads

Again, Vauxhall dealership for genuine ones, or a motorfactors or www.autovaux.co.uk

Air Filter Induction Kit ?

You'll probably find one on here in the For sale section.

Try and get a foam one if you can, I've seen gauze filters let through all kinds of rubbish.

Alloy Wheels

Check the For sale section, or try ebay.

All Vauxhall 4 and 5 stud fitments are the same, so if you see any for a Cavalier or a Vectra or an Astra or whatever, these will fit your car too.

Thanks Jack

the engine Tune up is not to increase power it is just to make sure it is running well and every thing is ok

the car is a R reg 2.0 16v Calibra

thanks Again

No worries. Your engine code is C20XE, and commonly referred to around these parts as an XE.

All the usual things apply, synthetic oil and filter, air filter, some clean coolant and a new fuel filter should get the ball rolling, and a cambelt if you're unsure how long the current one's been on.

**Jack** · 14-04-2007 13:03

Is an Ecotec still a C20XE? I'm sure someone else will be along shortly to tell me I'm an idiot.

Four exhausts too... at least the previous owner had a sense of humour. lmao

**leepylee** · 14-04-2007 13:07

Save the Environment get 4 Exhausts & build More Long Straight Roads

cheers Lee

Ecotec engine in a calibra is a x20xev 134bhp and 138lb/ft of torque according to the V-files in Total Vauxhall.

Looking good by the way Lee. Not too keen on the front plate but each to their own.

**leepylee** · 14-04-2007 14:17

VLE41M thanks for the info mate

The front & rear Plates are getting changed

I Orderd a set from Fancy Plates i just hope Plod dont pull the car with them on it lol

cheers Lee

**Madhaggis** · 14-04-2007 14:40

Jack your an idiot lmao
Yeah R Reg will be an ecotec X20XEV as VLE41M said.

Welcome to the site mate am just over the water from you

As Jack said get all the parts from Vauxhall or Autovaux. Changing the brakes is a pretty easy job. In my opinion dont bother with an induction kit unless you want it for the noise, Get a panel filter if you want it for performance.

Bob

P.S There is a vauxhall meet at the Odeon Dunfermline on the 22nd, fire along to it if you can

**leepylee** · 14-04-2007 18:26

Bob thanks for that mate

cheers Lee

**Melv** · 14-04-2007 19:23

if your after any parts keep an eye out in the for sale section mate as there is someone breaking a calibra turbo minus the engine and box nearly every week.
