1987 Holden Commodore review from Australia and New Zealand
"Better than I expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The crank angle sensor went two weeks after I bought it.
The front windscreen leaks a little because of bad installation not rust like I thought it may have been.
The slave cylinder also went on the clutch.
General comments?
When I first got the car I thought there had to be something seriously wrong with it because of the price I paid for it, but I bought it anyway.
Having a manual mad it even better because the seen to get off the bottom a bit quicker the the auto's.
I was amazed when we put the g-tek in to get a average time down the quater mile an was in the real low 15 seconds mark then I got a 14.98 sec, and that is a stock car other than the pod filter.
