1988 Holden Camira JE review from Australia and New Zealand
"A high performance street car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump died. I hole started after I cleaned the water.
Rotor lead needed replacing.
Distributor cap and rotor wore down, and failed.
General comments?
This is the first car I have owned... however, I have driven many cars, and I mean I have driven them hard!
I haven't treated this car the best, I drive very hard, and I have dragged this car.
It stood up to most of the Commodores. This car clearly has as much power as a 6 cylinder.
