1987 Holden Calais VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"An awesome car for the money!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank angle sensor, screwed up.
Air condiitioning radiator electric fan doesn't work.
Air conditioning switch works now and then.
Around the front windscreen rusts.
Still a bloody good car for the money!!!!!!
General comments?
VL turbo's are the go!!!! For a fairly standard car I get a lot of looks. Will kill nearly every stock V8 and 6 Ford.
Unfortunately they are getting a bit old nowadays and the paint wasn't very good on them. Check out my car at http://student.uq.edu.au/~s369268
