Hi all,

First post here. Thinking seriously about buying one, however concerned with potential long term ownership issues.

Are there any current Caldina owners here who can share their experiences living with this car?

Cheers

Mate.

Had one for over a year, had no probs, get all my parts from either here in sydney or for NZ. Driven performace in NZ and tradme.co.nz sweet for caldina parts, so many parts!

What are the potential long term ownership issues?

Hey,

Does anyone have the part numbers for Caldina GT-T st215w KYB or Koni Shocks?

Also can anyone supply them in Sydney?

At the moment NZ is the only place that seems to have this info.

Cheers

NRMA arent good for checking over things, take it to a good workshop that deals with those cars everyday, get it on the hoist and have a good look over it. NRMA kick a few tyres and check the oil..

well I found out what it was, its was for the stock exhaust, after 4,000rmp it would open a valve in the exhaust and then make it free flow.

well.

I checked and there is not even a boot release lever up front near the drivers seat and the fuel cap opens just fine.

So either im missing the boot release lever totally or its something else???

Someone with a caldina??

Looks like a remote-release cable for fuel filler door or boot/tailgate....

Good thinking! anyone with a caldina, can they check to see where it attaches to? its under the bottom right hand corner of the car.

im thinking its for the boot..

Can someone help me here, i was looking under the car and just found this thick cable tucked away not joined to anything, coming down the side of the inside boot area, through the floor and out the bottom!, its factory but whats it for and supposed to be joined to!! I hope its not important! Its its quite long??

Any ideas or help??!!

Cheers

Hey,

Anyone with a Caldina, Do you know what the 2 plastic tubes either side in the boot when you remove all the trays out are for, they go through the floor and out side,

Where are they draining water from and what are they for?? hmmm

cheers

Hi all.

I have a toyota Caldina (imported wagon) and have put a 3SGT 4wd motor in out of a front cut i got of a 92 celica gt4 (imported). I am trying to track down fitting for the air con compressor hose so i can hook the caldinas air con system to the compressor on the 3sgt engine. If anyone has some or knows where i could get some it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Alot of toyota dealers can source import parts..it will cost you but they will get it. Otherwise try some NZ wreakers!

Just brought another couple of Caldinas, they seem to be very popular with the Australian public.

Love mine, white 97 manual model and its awesome. Cost me $13,700 with 12 months NSW rego. Goes hard!!

Hi Has anyone out there got a Caldina GT, I could do with a few questions answered if possible?

Thanks

Steve

Yes I have one! manual 1997

Hello!,

Just bought a nice 97 Caldina 2 weeks ago and thought I should join up. Previous rides Evo 7, GTi-R and a few others not worth mentioning. Except a 1980 Mk2 Transit van factory camper.

I cant believe for the price you pay for a caldina what you get! One of my best buys ever and im loving it.

Does anyone else have a caldina on the forum? Go the GT-4 Wagon!

Cheers
