1982 Ford Meteor GA review from Australia and New Zealand
"Extreme madness needed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nil.
General comments?
I have owned this car for so many years. I have updated the engine to a BP 1.8 Ltr, DOHC 16 Valve EFI Turbo. It is a class 2e race car and has a kilowatt rating at the wheels of 248kw running a KF TX3 Turbo 5 speed manual, Turbo TX3 KF Front and rear disk brakes, and weighing only 856kg, it eats V8 HSV Commodores and XR8's alive, without even running max boost.
Now some people may say why would you do it, the answer to that question is that it was my first car, and I know most guy's out there would like to have their first car back...
