Does the BA Fairmont or Fairmont Ghia come in turbo form my mate swears he has seen two with the turbo badge on the back and a intercooler, I told him you prolly saw the radiator or air con but he swears it was a turbo, now I need to respect these guys because they know a bit about cars,, Hmm is this rumor true will this be the next VL CALAIS ???????

If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it ....

In NZ the AU Fairmonts ( if requested ) came out with XR8 running gear, suspention the works. It wasent on the broucher but for a price and a wait it could be done. Maybe this is how these two came about? Either that or magic mushrooms.

Yeah I tell you what though would be a grouse car to have when I ordered my T I opted for the premium sound as you do , I asked the sales rep since I am pretty much getting 80% of the ghia center console why not option in the climate as well I am sure it would not be that difficult I know there would be implications with the return are as it is electronic but if you can put it in the ghia what is going to be diffrent for the xr his reply to that was that FORD are trying to differenciate between luxury and sports I recon that is a load of crap .. excuse my french but my sp20 is a 30 k car and that is ment to be sprots and that has climate ... wrx has climate hmm verry upsett but I figure the T4 componsates for any cons

As far as I know you can't buy a fairmont in turbo form maybe in the future like BA series 3 they might bring out a more dosile version of the turbo engine like 230kw but the XR6 turbo should be up to about 260-270kw before that happens. maybe your mate saw some tosser that put a turbo badge on his fairmont or it might have been a special order from the factory that cost a fortune.

Be a pretty good sleeper ,, seriously on the fairmont ghia topic they go for 52k or something why would you bother when you can get an xr fully optioned for that price the only thing you cant get is climate .. Is the ghia really worth it I know maybee to the nonoos of the world it is but to the average market share they seem to be a waste of money if you ask me with that standard 182 kw motor I remember the xf fairmont ghia was the top of the litter with those famouse mesh ghia rims and efi motor they use to be cutting edge now the only good thing it has is climate .. :wub:
