Title: trike builder new to the forum
Post by: swirl on 14 February 2012, 16:36:32: hi guys a bit of an unorthadox entrance some time in the near future im going to be embarking on a trike build im looking in to suitable engines ;) ive had plenty of vauxhalls in the past novas/corsas/astras/cavaliers/vectras but never an omega i had allsorts of models 16v's v6's turbos etc my dad had carltons and omegas in the past and im thinking that omega 3.2 engine looks well out of the car body and will make an excellent powerful reliable motor for my trike build and would sound great on some straight through slash cut pipes so be prepared for plenty of questions to come some pics of my old cav convertible calibre and old vecs to juice the appetite and my trike at the moment :y

That's the best sorted Calibre body kit I've ever seen. Is that a recent pic? Is the Calibre still with you or has it been sold on?

Oh and welcome to the forum BTW
