Ok so as some of you may remember roughly 18 months ago i traded my Cali in for a family car (Ford Focus TDCi 100bhp 2004). Well times have changed and money has gone up so i can follow a dream once again.

So here it is in all it's glory.

Damn joe caught me out, i did want a BMW 316 in white with white wheels. Don't suppose you know anyone who's selling one do you. got £2000 laying around burning a hole in my pocket. Only Joking.

Ok so maybe i do want a Scooby WRX or an Evo 3/4 but to be honest for the price i paid can't complain, plus i have got a soft spot for the Calibra.

So to cover, it's 2000cc 16v Ecotec, 136Bhp, standard (not for long), 17" AEZ alloys. M Reg (1995), Black, Oh and some amazing lexus light (please don't hurt me).

As said about more money now so can afford to fork out and get stuff done to it. so watch this space.

Stuy stuy stuy, would like to say yes sir, but just spent mega money getting it running again so can't be doing that. will just get some bits and bobs for the engine. cams, pulley's, flywheel.

in it more for the look of the car cos it's not in bad nick, some small rust spots not like the last rust bucket.

i was looking into these today and was told aftermarket hid conversion kits unless used with automatic levelling and headlight washing systems cannot be approved/used on roads as they do not meet ECE regulations...

im sure that would be the case...however get the police to proove it is another thing!

on a side note..i changed my headlight bulbs to the phillips Xtreme ones...after a conclusion article in Auto express
(about 30 quid on ebay) and OMG are they good!!
Im used to proper xenons on the works cars..and the phillips bulbs are just as good on the audi if not better!
well worth spending your money on them rather than a very expensive HID kit!

To be honest didn't expect them to be like a HID kit, bulbs are bulbs, calibra headlights are crap anyway.

HIDs are the way forward \:\)

Ive used 100W bulbs in the past, and they do offer an improvement over the std 55W jobbies.

However, Ive found the 100W ones (despite being nearly 100% more powerful) to only give 10-20% more light, hids are much closer to 100% more light than a std bulb \:\)

Not all HID kits bleed light. It depends on the bulb, lense, and probably most importantly, the installer...

Any bulb fitted incorrectly will dazzle other drivers.

Theres a big difference between badly aimed lights, and lights that are bright - you can never have too much light in the dark, and adjusted to the correct angle, they wont effect oncoming cars \:\)

Maybe on the very first kits, the lastest kits are now "E" Marked, so as long as the beam pattern is fine....
