1987 Ford Falcon S PAK review from Australia and New Zealand
"XF is a total package on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed Transmission rebuild.
General comments?
Best Car Ever
Cheap Power
Room for Expansion or Working
Handles awesome with SPAK Sports Suspension, 225 Rubber and LSD
Stock Tint and Sunroof
Needs 5 speed Man and diff adjustment
maybe turbo/302W/351 in future
Cheap and howls at high speed with good take off
Plenty off room for me and stereo stuff
Excellent Safety (as I have written a Fairmont Ghia off in major multiple collison and came out fine with a friend and a brand new computer 110%)
