Going to import a Calibra AWD 2.0L Turbo

[PrecisionBoost]

Yes, I need another car like I need a hole in the head but I'm going to sell my Mazdaspeed 3 and import a LHD 94 Opel Calibra from Japan

They are finally 15 years old and can be brought into Canada. ( it pays to live in Canada.... Opel was bought by Canadian company Magna and we will get Opels by the end of this year if all goes well )

It will be my daily driver as the AWD will come in handy for our winter months.

Here is a picture of a Calibra in case some of you don't know what they look like with a decent body kit.....

Hey man...... didn't know you still come on the forum.... I don't know how much yet.... probably mid to high 20's.... I've only put on about 19,000km.

It was one of the last 2007"s coming to Canada when I bought it..... at that time they were saying that there may not be a 2008 MS3.... so it's newer than most 2007.


You never did call me about that bit of welding.... chris

The first one they showed me was a 94 C20LET/F28 with 110,000 km landed in Canada for $5200...... that includes the importers $1200 fee and shipping from Japan.

So it's a pretty good deal.............. and yes.......I must have another Opel

thats an awesome price for an awesome car!! Show us some pictures when you get a chance

Any plans for it? Why the switch from the MS3?

That is an awesome idea Chris and at that price you would be silly not to do it. We have the AWD Calibra here in Australia under the Holden badge but they are as rare as a goose that lays golden eggs (and are worth about the same). The MS3 is a pretty good car, but I would still prefer a Turbo AWD sports car like the Calibra, even if it is 15yo.

Well the first one I've picked out is going to auction tonight so I will see if we get it.

It has a few modifications... such as body kit and matched trim... but really low kilometers ( I can't remember if it's 68K or 86K )

Here is a picture.....I've put a maximum landed bid of $7000...... which means $7K including shipping and fees.

I like the MS3... it's a great car.... but.....

1) It's a real OPEL
2) It's AWD and turbo
3) It's a real OPEL
4) I allready have parts for it
5) It's a real OPEL
6) It will let me figure out what parts to get for my Kadette E ( GSi )
7) It's a real OPEL
It is a larger more stable platform with very good aftermarket support for things like coilovers

Did I mention it's a real OPEL ?

This first one will probably be my daily driver..... after that... who knows I might get another one for racing.

Ya sorry. I threw that downpipe away and did a full 3" downpipe and exhaust. I saw your GSI about a week or 2 weeks ago in Sherwood Park but I couldn't catch ya lol. Well I was like 10 cars behind you. Anyway I want to see this OPEL when you get it landed. Oh and I still check the site from time to timw
