'92 Opel Calibra RWD 5.0V12 - karmo

[karmo]

Awesome, way interesting project... only thing that stings me a little is that you used that classy BMW as a donor for the axles... so you better make this thing rock in the end!

why the classy bmw, because the chasse of the e28 was in so bad contitione, that wasbetter this way to end that car to become to a donor for my calibra then someone could die in it.

i will try to make it to rock, but there is so much work to to before i can take it to the test drive.


i dont have it in many estonian forums, i thikńk that theard is just in 2 or 3 forums in estonia and here aswell, so i quess that theard is known in 4 forums

bumpers ar in bad condition but a little hard work and they should be good.

im planing wide fenders as well to put on my car, because front of the car is coing wide to get more steering angel, and back end because it is silli to have front wide car

an i have a good licenseplate it means Always wery sexy in estonian language

So another week of welding and thinking and hard work is behind.

The interior of the car is almost welded then must end end the welding of under hood and then move to the back to weld the backend thogether.

I make the front frame bolt on, because then its easier to get engine out, and the strutbar is also selfmade, it is not so nice then i can get from shop but it is good to me at first.

And at last my friend sold me coilovers.

[karmo]

it has been long time, but now i have coilovers fited, golf 2 front ones in the rear and alfa romeo 156 rear ones in the front. it looks good to me.

no must end the body welding and make the engine mounts and transmission monunt aswell.







Stay Tuned!

[karmo]

hey to all.

havn't much time to deal with my car but here is little uptade pic.

Soon i translate to u what i have been doing on my car.

[karmo]

so some update.
First startup is done, after that i changet the engine because in old engine there was a nasty knock while it was running. I buyed quickly new engine and now that engine runs good and smooth. here is a video of the knocking engine.

But now i have some electrical issiues. i think EML ECU or Accelerator Pedal Potentiometer is broken down. and the engine starts but dies right after.
So i think that i need a good programmable ECU to get my engine working nice and smooth, and then i can easly to the manual trans swap and then happens also this



So now the axles, front and back there will be E34 535i brakes and hydraulic handbrake will be with his own calibers. i think tohse ar calibras orig calibers for using.
in front i should but on a wisefab lock kit to get nise and smooth control over my car.

In the inside of my car there becomes a good rollcage two basket seats an 6 point harness. and some other stuff witch is needed. and ofcourse fire extinguishing system.

car designe, first i thinked that it will be full DTM body kit but i dont find no diagrams to DIY it.




but there is some options what to to with the degsine of my car.



and some other pics of my build.









stay tuned

It seems you like monster energy.. I can relate to that. Personaly I wouldn't do a wide body kit or something, I prefer sleeper style. But then again, this is not my car.
Cant wait to see this thing driving though!

[B Rod]

Wow. This is pretty incredible. Can't wait to see it drive!

Yes i like Monster Energy alot,

But the wide body, becaus my car goes wider then original body, thats why i must think about wideing my body. thats why i cant let it be in sleeper style.


And most of all i wait to drive it more then u guys

[mrNitroSleeper]
