Flywheel teeth chewed by the starter motor.
Rust holes under the rear passenger door.
No heater.
Clutch is starting to wear.
Has trouble starting in hot or cold weather.
The starfire motor chews heaps of petrol.
5 litres for about 20 km.
My car is not quick at all, but I beat a Gemini 1600 :)
Must have been a sick Gemini!! But in any case the 2.0l Torana was never anything else but a disaster in terms of motoring pleasure, reliability etc. The gutless engine was a joke. All the other models having 2.85l or 3.3l 6 cylinder engines were OK vehicles, tough, reliable and, importantly, cheap to run and repair.
If you are really into cars of that vintage try one of the bigger engined Toranas.
They should have put out a 5L v8 uc like my modified one it has a very good power to weight ratio and is cheaper to run than what it was with the 4cylinder in it,the 'sunbird is a very sexy looking car with a set of mags on itand with a 5L chevy in it the preformance matches the evil, but sexy stance, next on my list is to put a 5.7L gen 3 motor in it. Holdens never had any good motors to chose from that's why mines a chevy.
CHEVY POWERED SUNBIRDS RULE!
