1982 Holden Commodore VH review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap car with power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Petrol tank hoses leak and have been replaced.
Varajet carburetor gave me problems replaced with a XE Falcon weber carburetor which has gave me a major power increase.
Automatic transmission shatters in reverse.
General comments?
This is seriously quick for a standard 3.3 Liter engine I can get the engine going 100 KM/H in first gear.
Does wicked burnouts.
Chews up fuel.
