1988 Holden Camira JE review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributer cap.
Alternator.
Head gasket.
Timing belt and casing.
General comments?
This car is one quick little 4 cylinder.
Before making any mods to the engine I was able to drag-off 6 cylinder VL Commadores.
After adding a sports exhaust, extractors and a pod filter, this little beast has the measure of most of my friend's 6 cylinder cars. They can't believe they were beaten by a Camira.
For anyone who wants a weekend project, i'd suggest doing up a JE Camira.
