    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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