Is there such a thing? I heard there is. Anyone got any info on the spec, pictures etc. Are they turbo?? Do they come with a bodykit?? Searched google but cant seem to find much. Not much of an internet voodoo anyhow lol.

Any info would be gret. thanks

 

Yeh thay did make a gt model, it wasnt anything flash tho just a 2.0L twincam iirc.

 

they were sold in about 1991 and weren't anything special that I can remember certainly no turbo!

yeah there is such a thing, basically a 2.0 dohc xr4x4 but 2wd and got a small rear spoiler. lots of them in red

 

ok cool. everyone knows about them and I never heard of one lol. Saw one for sale for £400 plenty of tax and mot. just wandered if they worth looking at?

 

125bhp, 0-60 9.1 seconds, and 121mph top speed according to Ford. When I was a lad I wanted my dad to get one instead of a boring LX. i remember the figures and spend weeks trying to persuade him.

For some random reason, I've always thought the black B pillar looked good.

 

nice one fella. Are they better than 1800 cvh or not much different?

For the fun factor of cause. I know it wont be lightning fast lol

 

my dads just bought one as his run a round, 42,000 miles from new, hes the 2nd owner, quite rare now i have been told??

 

thats what i was told to. only found 1 for sale apart from that ebay link above :-/

 

they were the run out models from march 92 onwards
basic spec and only a flash name, basicly an azure with lx bits, red trim and a dohc engine and drum brakes

people think they are the shit, but they really are just boggo sierra's

much better off with a gls as a model to start with

 

ok fair enough. i been borrowing my mates 1.8 cvh which i might buy but saw that too. which would you choose. the pic of my mates is here https://passionford.com/forum/showth...=1#post3286078

 

There's not that much difference between them! Same engine, and similar trim. maybe the odd bit of extra electrickery in the GLS, but that's about it.

 

My estate is / was a gt when it started life I thing GT estates are pretty rare,

 

estates in general are pretty rare

 

Wasnt there a special edition that was supposedly faster than the cossie?

 

I have no idea but I though GT was like a turbo version. Obviously not :-?

 

Turbo Technics Minker...

 

abs as standard for the 92 spec gls would swing it for me, even non abs'd eariler versions of the gls still came with 4 discs and much better stopping power

and things like front fogs, electric mirrors, much wider availability and better suspension as standard too

 

Thats the blighter

 

never heard of that either :-(

The second red Sierra and two blue Sierras are GT's in this pic, 2 of my mates and mine.


My mates GT with my Saph


The back end of my GT after a wee mishap

 

are they that fun lol

i want one now lol

 

Adikt speed wheels don't see them often

 

Aah, electric mirrors, that's swung it for me, the GLS is far superior

 

That was a drifting accident too...

As for your question about whether to go for your mates 1.8 cvh or a GT, have absolutely no doubt that if you are interested in performance, the 2.0 dohc in the gt absolutely out does the cvh in every way!!!

I had a 1.8 cvh and it was crap, it was only good enough for cruising in, whereas the 2.0 dohc is in my opinion a very nicely balanced engine if you want to have a bit of fun and if you are interested in drifting, i'll say my GT was a shit load of fun. The only thing that would be more beneficial for drifting with them would be an lsd though. The red one in my first photo now has an lsd from a 4x4 in it and i have been told it is so so much better than without. Have had many a fun damp/wet day drift sessions

So if you want a cruiser, consider both, a wee bit of power, the GT, such a better engine. The 1.8 cvh is shit...

I have had 2 Sierras with the 2.0 dohc (EFI) engine and i honestly cant fault it at all, i had absolutely no problems with either of the 2 of them, my GT had 150+ thousand miles on it and it got caned every single day just getting hammered wherever i went and it didn't ever miss a beat, my 2.0 4x4 Saph had the same engine which had 80+ thousand miles on it and never had a single problem with it although it was quite under powered for the 4 wheel drive but was still good fun at times.

Another plus point is that the cvh has a timing belt and the dohc has a timing chain. I snapped the timing belt on my second cvh and killed the crankshaft seal in my first one. The cvh's just aren't up for the job in my opinion. It was my first Sierra and i did like it as i hadn't experienced any dohc Sierra engines first hand and was bit wary about buying my first one because of my experiences with my cvh engines in my first Sierra but they are so so different in every way...

The power output of the 2 are stated in the book as being:

1.8 cvh - 90 PS
2.0 dohc (efi) - 125 PS or 120 PS with catalytic converter.

 

Fooking looved my old gt,stripped out half decent shocks exhaust etc and a welded diff!

bought it for a laugh best £100 iv ever spent

oh and my claim t fame,it was jeeks old gt woo .... ok il get my coat

 

I used to drive about in a 2.0 Ghia DOHC EFI and it was actually quite quick for what it was and was pretty much indestructable!!

Took everything i threw at it! LOL!

My advice. GT over the 1.8 CVH everytime!

 

Here here, cant agree more my man

 

everyone seems to be raving about he gt due to the engine, but it's the same dohc 125 brake, melted head gasket engine as found in every 2.0 sierra from around 89 onwards, carb'd and injected versions

change the fan switch, make sure there is a 40% mix of antifreeze to 60% water in the cooling system and job jobbed

 

I have just gave my views on the two dohc engines i have owned and found them to be bullet proof. I know that the GT's engine isn't unique. Just such a better engine than the cvh imho.

 

wasn't having a go, the dohc I4 is a damn good engine, especially if you are doing lots of gentle motorway miles

 

yeh my dad had a white one when they first came out , the dog bollocks ,until we put it round a lamp post on frozen rd .haha

 

Sorry bud, i wasn't having a go either, just sorta reads like i might be, looking back at it, just text misinterpretation

 

Sierra GT...just another shit Sierra

 

Thanks for all the info fellas. Might go take a look at this GT. Only £400 with tax and MOT. Does that sound good???

 

Yep, there'll be room for knocking him down

Enjoy
