1990 Ford Sierra XR4x4 review from Portugal

"A big deal for tuning enthusiasts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Idle valve was erratic. Replaced with a new one.

EFI butterfly button was damaged. Replaced with a new one.

Rear Left Stop Light was not working. Fixed with a new lamp and a little of contact spray.

Exhaust system was broken a making some smoke to stay inside the car.

General comments?

Previous owner loved this model, and made some modifications:

- Zebring oval dual sized pipe

- Tarox disk brakes (ventilated and holes)

- Ferodo Sport disk pads

- Bilstein lowered suspensions and springs.

The car has a great handling capability, and since I've seen the normal one, I would recomend the Tarox / Bilstein mods.

Engine is enought to my country type of roads and even Imprezas can't go away too much further till 170/180 Km/h.

The EFI system is prepared to have some kind of power booster (probably Nitro or similar) and I would love to give it a try :)

I can make around 100 Km with 10 Liters of fuel, but pressing hard on the pedal, so probably it will make some 125 Km with 10 Liters.

The 4x4 system is wonderful. Well balanced torque with at least 60/70% to the rear wheels and 40/30% to the front ones.
