1990 Ford Orion Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Quick, good looks and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to replace the gearbox and as I got one from a scrapyard, I'm due to have a new one fitted soon!
Replaced the thermostat, lifters and valve stem seals.
General comments?
Apart from the above problems the car is sound! I have added a Peco Powermaster S/S exhaust, clear indicators all round, 15 inch Fiesta Zetec 'S' wheels with Pirelli P6000 tyres, Sapphire Cossie spoiler, Kenwood mask and amp, and Bosch super 4's. This car is an XR3i with a boot.
I have raced a Corsa GSi 16v, Nova GTE, XR3i and won, these cars are well quick!!!!
