1989 Pontiac LeMans GSE review from North America
"Great car after modifying!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ECU failed at 800 miles.
General comments?
I acquired my GSE and was dissapointed with the poor performance, so while in the UK on business I purchased a Vauxhall GSi engine (150 hp)and transmission (150hp), which I installed, along with a tubular exhaust with free-flow muffler, Bilstein shocks, all Opel Kadett exterior badges,and H4 headlamps. Sold the car in '91 and purchased a Miata
