1989 Ford Capri XR2 Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Hmmm an 89 model, could this be an early "built Ford tough" prototype?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Typical cracked exhaust manifold (replaced before problem.
Trim/body falling apart.
General comments?
2.5' turbo back exhaust, very good dyno tune (S&S racing sunshine west Victoria Australia) unknown engine internals, but 106kw at wheels on 13psi.
It has taken out a bug eyed WRX, s13 turbo Silvia, R32 golf, BA XR8 Falcon; this is a mid 13 sec car!!!
