Am fairly certain am after a cali turbo for next car, in process of looking for a good one now...
Any1 advise me for or against the car? or suggest alternatives of similar performance.
I know the T/x's can be problematic thats why u gotta look hard for a good one....

yeh they have a good spec for the money they go for....
But most people sell them when the tx is on way out...dont know if its worth it coz if it goes (and they do) will cost from 700-1000!! plus old turbos are no1's friend

gets a xe'd one and drop a LET into it, and sell the xe
cheaper than a whole cally turbo in theory

The car itself is good and very fast but as Jr said you'll be ever looking out for the TXB, a replacement from Vauxhall is around £2500 and tbh is the only place you wanna go for a replacement, be dubious of anyone who says the box is fine when it comes to buying one

im tempted to sell mine next year
the transfer box went last year so i had a 50/50 sports box fitted by VTS for £1250 it drives so much better than the old 4x4 system and will never fail like the normal t boxs as it is permenant 4 wheel drive
its a limited edition DTM turbo and only 22 were sold with turbo motors
not sure how much it is worth now but will be selling it with the plate if i got a sensible offer, just fancy a change now
