1985 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe review from North America
"a high performance four cylinder with an awesome stereo got to love found premium sound"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pressure regulator sucks it runs to lean.
Seats have rips in them.
Broke the ground effects.
Replaced fog lights.
Replaced exhaust for performance.
Replaced turbo and inter-cooler for performance mods too..
General comments?
The car is seriously too fast for a four cylinder. 2nd gear is 56 mph.
Turbo is fun specially once you change it to a better one and add a inter-cooler..
Rear wheel drive is the best ever.
If you want something to beat a little car like a civic or Acura this is it. mine is fastest four cylinder in lower New Hampshire and I'm proud of it.
