1987 Ford Falcon XF review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very quick modified xf falcon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warped the Alloy head from overheating it at high speeds.
Had to rebuild the motor, due to worn Compression Rings.
Lobes on the camshaft wore, replaced with a Stage II high performance camshaft.
Automatic Transmission became clunky, replaced with a 4 speed Manual.
General comments?
This car now flies with the 4 speed manual transmission and Stage II Camshaft.
I also set up Cold Air Induction which makes the car even quicker.
Also Extractors and 2 and a half inch exhaust let this car do 220 km/h.
It is also lowered with Super-Low king springs and Koni shocks.
