Connections to the battery needed replacing, that's about all. Knock on wood!
The car was a bargain at $1500 AU and at traffic lights it still beats brand new $20000 cars such as Lancers, Hyundais and Civics, using the tough 2.0 L fuel injection engine and 4 speed auto. Wish it was manual though...
Hey I have a camira like yours except mine is a five speed manual. it's a beast!!! I fully agree with you when you say it beats everyone at the lights!!
Just to join you both - I too agree.
It's nice to cruise on past a guy in a new little hotted up Hyundai only kick his butt at the next set - while dropping one for him to grovel at.
My man and I have a Magna 94 and a JE 87 and the JE still manages to be the most reliable out of the two - ironic that I'm the one driving it :)
Only thing is my A/C doesn't work. any ideas anyone?
The '88 Camira is a benchmark of Australian automotive engineering. They finally got it right with this model. I have an '88 wagon with 210,000 km on the clock and it still goes like the clappers. It will sit comfortably on 140km/h on the open road (not that I condone speeding), it has a cool custom paintjob with flames up the bonnet and waves on the sides, and it turns more heads than those hotted-up hoon mobiles. Go the mighty Camira!!!
Hey guys
just to add to the camira hall of fame, I've just baught a 1989 camira and have been racing everyone ever since, the cameria is only a 1.8L and it still kicks every lancer off the mark, it hemmers every hotted up excel, and gives every commodore a run for its money (late and early models).
To the guy with the air conditioning, mabye you need to check the gas, if so you will probably have to get the gas system replaced, about $180, if you look around there are still some auto electricians that refill the old CFC gas.
I have a JE 2.0l sedan with a 3 speed auto and she flies. That was before the mods. Now she doesn't just fly, she rockets!!!.
Mods include sports exhaust and pod filter with cold air induction.
I'm the 3rd owner and she has only done 115,000 and I can look forward to many more years of Camira fun.
