Master clutch cylinder went about a month after I got the car. To be expected though because of the age of the car.
Front lower guard has popped out from the screws in the front wheel arches.
Front lower guard or the license plate scrapes along the ground if turning a particularly sharp corner too fast.
Engine oil seems to either be consumed really quickly or is leaking, although I haven't noticed a particularly large amount of oil where I park my car.
Electric sunroof hasn't worked since I bought the car, and when going above 80km/h wind leaks through.
Very quick off the mark and has a lot of power behind it.
This car has just the most beautiful sound to it, to go with the big twin exhaust it has on it. Purrs like a baby and can get any guys to check me (or the car) out.
Very comfortable to drive, and the adjustable steering wheel is a great feature.
The power steering is very direct in comparison to the Mazda MX6 I've driven, which is very floaty.
A very reliable car and, should your master clutch cylinder go like mine did, the car is incredibly fun and easy to drive without a clutch!
I have the same model car as you and I agree with what you said about the car. They are awesome :) The one thing that happens to me if I turn a corner to sharp is that knocking noise you described.
Hello, I've had my 87 ST for a year or so now and I love it; I've had major repairs done to it, inc wheel bearings, cooling system, brakes, cat+exhaust and engine. I spent a lot of money, but I think I will keep it and spend 5 0r AU$6k more to make it look the best and drive the best. It has a different shape to the common SX here in Australia.
