K5 BTCC Street Racer Style!
First of all this is not what is known by Americans as a Ricer!! It is a European domestic model made by Opel/Vauxhall, the European arm of GENERAL MOTORS, Yeh! you know, that big AMERICAN company! thats just for all you people who think anything with spoilers is a Ricer and know nothing about the Marque. ( I have nothing against the import market BTW)! For everyone else i,m sorry to go on, It,s just that i have seen a lot of people calling everything a Ricer and generally leaving negative comments about other Calibras.

Future Modifications will include, Nitrous Oxide, Throttle Body Conversion, Manifold, Lamborghini Style Scissor action Doors. I will get hold of a Camera and take some Pics of the Audio and Interior so check back soon!

! STOP PRESS ! Developments underway at the moment, Reiger GTX front Spoiler is on, All rubbing strips are gone, Rear Bumper is being filled and Licence Plate Aperture is added, then after that it is being Re-sprayed. I will keep you up to date as it continues. Also a 4.5 inch Slash cut Exhaust system has been added

This pic shows off the OZ Racing Chrono Evo,s and the Modified 288mm Turbo Brakes which are more than sufficient for this Car. A good economical alternative to all the other expensive brake Kits and it,s all factory stuff too.

Lights alive! Last year at the peformance Vauxhall Show which was an excellent show! If you look inside you can just make out the Electro Luminescent Dials which can be changed from Blue to Green, but Blue is my favourite! Neons are by Fusion.

New Lexus Lights, My Car was probably one of the first to get these in England, we waited so long for these to come along and now there are 3 different styles available. Typical!

Who says Tuned cars are un-reliable? The Car went from England to Spain for my Wedding hence the Flowers! 3000 miles were covered without any problems. It was always my dream to get married in this car, so as i would always remember it fondly.

Lumma Numberplate panel is a very effective mod and makes the back look really different.

Front end looks agressive and is awaiting a different Front Spoiler as the Roads have now taken their toll on this one. :(

I purchased this Car over 2 Years ago and it was completely standard at the time, luckily i still had some bits that i kept hold of from my previous Calibra. This got the ball rolling much quicker and i have been modifying it ever since untill it became what you see now. It is not finished though! Not by a long way so keep coming back to check it out. Please rate it and let me know what you think! Thanks.
I,ll list the spec as this site is American and does not list my Specialist Parts and Engine work.
