Inside
The 2.9 is my 4th Sierra I've owned
The 1st was a 1.6 "Pinto" engined '91 Sierra Sapphire "Classic". It was modded by fitting a 2.1 Granny engine (high-lift cam, skimmed head, 38DGAS and load of other engine mods too) It was a great car had loads of fun with it with the 1.6 badge on the back (the look on BMW owners faces when a 1.6 Sierra flys past at 125+ mph)
The second was my '92 DOHC LX more info and specs can be seen here http://www.danzweb.net/~martytay/mycar.htm The car sufferd an untimely death on a wet/muddy corner :-( RIP
Proof that Sierra's are not bullet proof
3rd the worst? '88 1.8 Saff. Super crap max speed just a hair under a ton. A 1.3 pushrod Escort would cream it. I bought the car with the intention of rebuilding it with all the parts off my DOHC got it home and thought fuck it. I had the car for 2 weeks.
A WARNING TO ALL SIERRA OWNERS
Do NOT even think about getting a Mondeo, they are well shit. The Mondeo was a replacement for the Sierra in 1993. They are hard on fuel, handle shit and when they fuck up which is quite often its difficult and/or expencive to fix. I was stupid and sold my 1st Sierra to get a '94 2.0 GLX. 2.0 The engine was a DOHC 16V 136BHP what bollox felt like 70bhp. Hated the car, flogged it and bought the DOHC LX.
136 BHP (who are they kidding)
