i had 1996 finnish-produced vauxhall opel calibra in 2005 :D very cool.. even the interior had that "M-premium" style package, not the stock .. but i think when i bought it, there was some things being done to it .,.. because 18 and stupid.. i just crashed it, and sold it... but i know who owns it now and sitting in shedd somewhere.,.. im trying to rebuy the car haha.... :D can get those old 90s opels for cheap probably... basicly when i bought it, the next day someone want to buy it with double the price i bought it... and i knew why... it was some rare one produced only 1000 pieces , and everyone knew that finnish-produced ones dont rust like crazy .. so all the calibra fans usually wanted the ones wich had finnish VIN codes.
@@TingzOnWheelz I currently own a Calibra V6 from 1997 that has been converted to a 3.2 V6. It's the seventh Calibra I've owned in my lifetime. It needs some love on the bodywork.
Only just stumbled across your channel with this video, Didn't hesitate to subscribe, I feel your energy bro great content never forget these 90's gems! keep up the good work. 🤝
Yoo my brother, I’ve just come across your Chanel and man it’s a whole vibe, love your personality lad, you’ve just gained a new sub, keep up the good work man
@@TingzOnWheelz yeah, I can see you have a lot of work to do, but well worth saving it. Mine isn't a turbo, just a 2.0 8v. Good luck with it, looking forward to seeing your next video.
Calibras 🔥 I grew up seeing cars like this when I was a teenager this is when vauxall made good cars I am a bmw person but as a weekend car I’d love a calibra they one of the best looking 90s era cars
Had both the cav and calibre, loved the cali I had the 8v 2.0 seh. (Cav sri 13 lump) loved it! But I was the guy with pals chucked them into novas or corsa b..... definitely the early k20 swap of its day! The early coscast head with dizzy out the astra gte/ calibra were the ones to have!
I worked at a Vauxhall dealership when these were new and one came in with all its interior been nicked. It cost about £10k (which seemed like a ridiculous amount at the time) to replace the full leather interior and took a while for every piece to arrive direct from factory
Omg this takes me back, I owned the 4x4 turbo calibre in red back in the day I swapped a R19 16v convertible for it from a guy in Croydon the most fun 👍😎. Nice video, I like your style 👍👍😀
I was massively into the cruise scene back then Crystal Palace, Purley way and a217 where apparently people use to race their motors from the lights down to Sutton 👍🤭🫣😆😆😆 51 now and still rocking a Yaris T Sport and e46 325 convertible , gotta be done 😃😃
Nice, love the calibre my bros favourite, I have a 309 GTI, taken from my old recently sold house, and being in the garage for over 10 years, now parked on my drive ready for some work to begin in this mingin weather, more of a semi resto hopefully, Peugeots might not be your cup of tea though. Just bought that hoover ha, Pet and Car 5, hope its good for cars, seems to be. Thanks for the video.
Mate I’m interested in anything cool. I saw a heavily modded 309 just last week and i couldn’t keep my eyes off it. As for the vax you cannot go wrong!
I'd recommend taking them carpets out and checking the bungs underneath bro. I would bet my life on them being rotten mate. I'd check the bulk head near the peddles
cant believe my luck when paying for my parking ticket in poole the other week. i came out to my incredibly rare 400whp 5 cylinder turbo plus fiat coupe with a red calibra turbo with the 4wd still in place and running 306whp parked behind me. i know as the guy was paying for his ticket also as i was gettings pics of our cars together. was mind blown and speechless.
@@TingzOnWheelz yeh man, mines on a stage 3 hybrid turbo, 3 inch downpipe into a catless 3 inch straight pipe. crazy crazy sound. no other 5 pot sounds closer to a v10 than these.
@@TingzOnWheelz yeh man, defo. i dont get why people are into modern cars at all tbh, late 80s all through the 90s had the best cars. period. shame we never got the eclipse 2g, still waiting for blackpanthaa to do more content on his eclipse.
@@TingzOnWheelz i want to start doing videos but not sure which way i could do it because mods are done as much as you can on a stock internals engine. i need the cambelt etc doing but thats not a driveway job on these. the front main seal/oil pump seal, crank angle and cam phase sensors need doing at the same time as the belt and pump.
If it's 100% a Rare 1 of 51 then brooo.. It's a No Brainer .it needs saving!. But I'll warn you now be prepared for a lot of nasty surprises like rust underneath etc etc but still save it. This here is a Labour of LOVE!.. IT May be more valuable in future to the right people 😉
I know exactly the smell u mean! I’m not against it. However in this one the smell was criminal haha. Arizona you say! I reckon these would have gone down a treat stateside!
You hit the nail with this one! Beautiful car to rebuild, will be watching every vid. People need to know about these classic coupes!
Thanks mate! Brings back loads of memories this one. Tell everyone you know to sub! 🤙😏😎

Beautiful car cannot wait to see the outcome I’m a massive VW person myself but he Calibra just holds a special place in my heart
I’m the same! Although with the state of vw latest offerings I’m losing hope
@@TingzOnWheelz totally understand older VWs are definitely better your Carrado looked awesome best pair of cars 👍
@@tazgirl1238 they were a great match! I’m sure I will have one of those again
Bloody brilliant channel lad. true vauxhall lover and I will be watching from now on my kind of guy
That means a lot, trying my best!
Only just stumbled across your channel with this video, Didn't hesitate to subscribe, I feel your energy bro great content never forget these 90's gems! keep up the good work. 🤝
Thanks for the sub it does a lot! Glad u enjoy the content
Can’t wait to see this back up and running mate 👊
You know this! Old school vibes my bro
I wondered whether one of Noel's Calibra's would ever become a project, looking forward to see what happens with this one 👏👏
Yes Yes mate! Pure nostalgia on this one
Love it, not seen one since the early 00s 👌🙂
You know this! I occasionally see a silver one around my way and the memories flood back every time.
Yoo my brother, I’ve just come across your Chanel and man it’s a whole vibe, love your personality lad, you’ve just gained a new sub, keep up the good work man
Big respect mate, it makes it all worth it with comments like this!
This made me hit the bell icon and I've never done that before. ❤
Big respect for that! Means a lot
Since I saw the thumbnail I’m hooked to the channel ❤ I love old school Vauxhalls
Thanks mate hope you stick around for future content
Mate you deserve a lot more subscribers, love your presenting style!
Thanks! Its something I love doing hopefully I can grow the channel even more
Subscribed, just came across this by chance, great content and video. I'm just starting my own Calibra project, so will be following this for sure.
Thanks man, I’ve got quite a bit to get done but it will be fun along the way. What calibra do you have?
@@TingzOnWheelz yeah, I can see you have a lot of work to do, but well worth saving it. Mine isn't a turbo, just a 2.0 8v. Good luck with it, looking forward to seeing your next video.

Yea I hear that. Coupes from the 90s all had some soul to them whether good or bad!
Had both the cav and calibre, loved the cali I had the 8v 2.0 seh. (Cav sri 13 lump) loved it! But I was the guy with pals chucked them into novas or corsa b..... definitely the early k20 swap of its day! The early coscast head with dizzy out the astra gte/ calibra were the ones to have!
I can see the appeal of chucking that beast of an engine into a smaller lighter chassis. Smiles per gallon!
Love the intros and little history lessons. Keep up the content have watched the back catalogue and improving video by video 👊
Thank you mate. That’s the plan, progress get better and build!
Was just talking to my brother about his Calibra from back in the day and this video pops up lol subscribed!
Haha spooky when that happens.
Those seats have survived well - using hide food regularly will keep them nice and supple for ever.
Oh for sure! Not finished with them just yet though, will be going a bit further with the finish so stay tuned!
More Vauxhall content please big fan of the older Vauxhalls
Will see what comes up along the way! Thanks for tuning in.
You randomly come on my feed, great video. Subscribed!!! Can’t wait to see the progress on this
I’m glad more people get to see my content as I love creating it
@@TingzOnWheelz I’m guessing you’re from brum? Hopefully see this badboy on road!!
Nah nowhere near 😅 however I may be around that way doing some bits in the future
@@TingzOnWheelz haha. Fair enough bro. Sounded kinda Brummie 😂 and cuz you mentioned spaghetti junction lol

Yo, the quality of your vids is good... wouldn't of thought you had under 1k subs and the mcing wasnt that bad either. Respect mi bruddah, new sub!
Thank you, trying to build a following so trying to keep it moving
A lad called tudor had one of these back in the day spent a fortune on it with fibreglass body kit. Good video thanks I just subscribed
Cheers! I have seen quite a few tasty body kits for these!
Omg this takes me back, I owned the 4x4 turbo calibre in red back in the day I swapped a R19 16v convertible for it from a guy in Croydon the most fun 👍😎. Nice video, I like your style 👍👍😀
Interesting! I used to knock around those ways a lot

@@gingerbreadaudio I went to the same ones! Until some donuts started acting up and ruined it for everyone
Ah yes there's always one 😢. Well you have another subscriber in me, keep up the great videos 👍👍
Fab job, need to know what product u used to clean the leather ... Can't wait to see the car all done up!
Will give you the secret sauce recipe when I see you next!

Appreciate that , thanks for subbing!
I'd recommend taking them carpets out and checking the bungs underneath bro. I would bet my life on them being rotten mate. I'd check the bulk head near the peddles
Oh for sure mate, it’s all coming out again for a deep clean! Just needed to be able to breath whilst cracking on haha
I'm going through the same thing on the same car atm bro. Looking forward to seeing these vids 👌
cant believe my luck when paying for my parking ticket in poole the other week.
i came out to my incredibly rare 400whp 5 cylinder turbo plus fiat coupe with a red calibra turbo with the 4wd still in place and running 306whp parked behind me.
i know as the guy was paying for his ticket also as i was gettings pics of our cars together.
was mind blown and speechless.
number plate was D15 TBO for anyone who knows the car/owner
Fiat Coupes sound proper raw when tuned! Another car you don’t see often
@@TingzOnWheelz yeh man, mines on a stage 3 hybrid turbo, 3 inch downpipe into a catless 3 inch straight pipe.
crazy crazy sound. no other 5 pot sounds closer to a v10 than these.
2nd favourite car tho tied with the eclipse 2g followed by the lotus cartlon.
please get us more content on this asap!
You’re in luck, new vid tonight!
@@TingzOnWheelz yes lad. content from other youtubers is getting a bit stale at the moment. need more 90s heroes tbh
@@5cylinder91 haha gotta respect all the others doing it but there’s only so much of the same car I can watch!
@@TingzOnWheelz yeh man, defo.
i dont get why people are into modern cars at all tbh, late 80s all through the 90s had the best cars. period.
shame we never got the eclipse 2g, still waiting for blackpanthaa to do more content on his eclipse.

According to the MOT history (which looks very good), it has never been welded.
The bones of it are pretty solid I must say

Oh it is for sure , number 3 to be precise! Deffo warrants saving it.
ive rebuilt worse nice see the engine staying in one i sold the engine out mine for more than the car was worth many years ago
Oh for sure the engine stays put :)
Rebuild ❤
You’ll have to dig out a skibadee cassette for when thats done
Haha I’m sure I’ve got a few tucked away in the loft somewhere!
Save it!!! If anyone can Wayne can!! 🔥
That’s the plan mate, gunna try my best
WE PUT THE ENGINE C20LET IN A CORSA B WAS FOOOOKIN RAPID
Haha that must have been a bag of fun!
Can’t wait!!!!
Let’s go!
Should change your channel name to Pop Dingz on wheels my bruddah 👳🏾♀️ 😂🤣
There is a weird vauxhall smell that people love or hate. I miss my Vectra 2.2 DTI it's no calibra. we aren't allowed vauxhall in Arizona 😢
I know exactly the smell u mean! I’m not against it. However in this one the smell was criminal haha. Arizona you say! I reckon these would have gone down a treat stateside!
New sub great content 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one man
Unreal 💯
Thank you!
Aaron Unknown would be good on this car.
Thanks for the vote of confidence mate 😂 I rate Aaron highly but this is all mine
they had a saab engine at one point
Beastly engines! I've seen a few big power turbo lumps
I know a few people breaking cali’s if you need parts 👍
Good to know! I’m sure there will be bits I need!
👌🏻
