Hi: Do you know about argentinian accident statistics? We do need such bumpers! :-0 Nowadays, some club members are fitting Golf MkIII bumpers onto Sierras, looking for Cossie-alike aspect. http://sierranet.mforos.com/1306727/9028945-puse-el-paragolpe-de-golf-mk3/?marcar=paragolpe+golf http://sierranet.mforos.com/1306727/6099845-sierra-con-paragolpe-golf-mkiii/?marcar=paragolpe+golf Merkur XR4Ti, in the same way, not bad. http://sierranet.mforos.com/1306727/7977362-merkur-xr4ti-paragolpe-golf-mk3/?marcar=paragolpe+golf I perssonally invited some Club members including SierraNET webmaster, but some don't write neither english nor french. That's a barrier. In fact, SierraNET has a link into yours! Salut. OSCAR + AT

side lights on front & rear bumpers, el mismo que los Gringitos ! por favor, dos flechas Signor Gaby Hi, GW: Actually they are not lights, but reflective plastic surfaces. They do the job; very well, in fact. I' m about to suplement them with 3M reflective stuff, white on sides, red behind. Here, are ruled for Cargo & trucks. Cheers. OSCAR + AT PS At the Pampas, we use "boleadoras", not arrows. ;-) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas_%28arme%29

Come on, Titou! She's NOT amphibious! ;-) Thanks a lot. And a pleassure for me, too. Yes, the names didn't match. Here we have GL, LX, Ghía, XR3 . At the same time, Sierra had GL LX and Ghia models (and XR4) so I think the idea is uniformate the names (entry, equipped, full, SP) Look at this: my fianceé with an LX 2.3 A side view of my toy, without the stuff shown on the avatar. Behind, a XR4 (circa 1992) with low aileron (nowadays has a Cossie one) Behind it, you can see a Renault Dauphin / Gordini; in front,Toyota Celica Club and a Kaiser Carabela, made in Argentina, at about 1960. Salut! OSCAR + AT

Sorry, yes, of course we have a lot. Best seller, indeed. OSCAR

Merci! Les photos. Avec trop de poussiere et sable. I m so sorry, but Imageshack doesn't work anymore. I cant upload files. You can see more photos at SierrNET, click "Tu Sierra" on left panel, then go to page 20, on right side, Oscar rural89automagica. Or, in the same left panel, Sierra del Mes, then Octubre 2008. I'm SO sorry I'll try later... Salut, OSCAR + AT

Ca va, Hello, Hola! ;-) Il y a beaucoup d ' Escort a l'Argentine. http://www.club-escort.com.ar/index.htm Del Mk4 MK5 y 6; XR3 % Cabrio. Trés apprécié, ici. http://www.club-escort.com.ar/mk4.htm Les Road Tests http://www.club-escort.com.ar/test.htm Aussi avec le connu Audi 827 1.8 (Autolatina) http://www.testdelayer.com.ar/escort.htm Salut, OSCAR PS Ton anglais est trés bonne ;-)

Merci beaucoup, Big Boss. Trés heureuse! Salut! OSCAR + AT

Only few, not in this ordinateur. Sierranet, Tu sierra, pagina 20 O Sierra del Mes, octubre 2008 http://fordsierranet.com.ar/INDEX2.HTM Salut, MoyaNOS tu n'as pas plus de photos de ta rural ?[/quote]

j adore ce genre de video [/quote] They are very popular in Buenos Aires. The Autodromo Municipal (City Hall Circuit) has an specific infrastructure for these races. Unfortunately, some guys races on streets and avenues too. I forgot to tell you that our Club has a "Flagship"; a true former TC 2000 car. You can see the carburated 2.3 The car was completely restored and takes part of various benefit shows & expositions. http://sierranet.mforos.com/1306488/8422290-kinder/?marcar=kinder The TC 2000 technique when Sierra raced (circa 1985). http://fordsierranet.com.ar/Tecnica%20TC2000.htm Salut. OSCAR

Ca va, MoyaNOS: Don´t worry! Thanks. ALL our Sierras are MK I, the only change is the open front and minor changes. You can see at www.fordsierranet.com.ar. Venezuela did have MK2, Cologne, EFI, A4LD... Unfortunately, the TC 2000 was denaturalized: all cars have same engine, ECU, suspension, etc. There are "Civic´s, Corolla, Megane, Focus by chassis (tubular) design. It´s still a FIA series. We use je, jeje, lol, etc. Salut, OSCAR.

Hi, Saleens: The Volvo 16v camshaft is well known here. There are few Sierras equipped with it. Some stuff about argentine Turbo Sierras: 1) Ing. Pellegrini's 480+ hp (the last photo I posted) David: I never said that the Karman´s XR4Ti was produced nor sold here. In fact, there are few units, a couple of them owned by our Fans Club President. I only said that has the 2.3 engine (injected and T2 turbocharged) It has 175 hp (145 the c3 AT) There was a Sierra XR4 16V "Optima": an aftermarket development that didn´t pass the prototype.. 202 km/h, about 150 hp 5400 rpm. The Ing. Loiacono is a member of our forum and still works on it. I hope you enjoy this so long post... Salut, OSCAR

Take care of The Pampas. Take a glance at Dakar 09/10. ;-) Argentina has plenty autos & races fans. Unfortunately, economy's not good, as you surely know. Strictly spoken about Ford Sierra, it's a model forgotten, here. Ford sold only 77.000 units over 9 years of production (only 3.300 breaks); it was so expensive, despite of his old engine. It also has his (madly) fans. It's competitor, at street & races, was the Renault fuego. Nowadays is very difficult to find a car in a good shape (specially the beloved XR4), but there are lots spare pieces a bon marché. Automatic boxes are very few here, too. I have mysalf a disable in my righy arm and hand and I need it. And you EVER reach home riding them, even broken. Cheers, OSCAR

Salut! Le "Lima" 2.3 était vieux en 1984, mais il avait equippé le Taunus argentine (1974!-1984) et la situation economique non etait pas bien. Par 1989-90 avec un nouveau "restyle" on pensé en 2.0 EFI ou 2.8 Cologne (connu ici en Granada) mais Ford locale fussioné avec VW (Brasil aussi) fait cette ideé impossible. Le VW Santana = "Ford" Versailles (Brasil) et Galaxy (.ar) avec Audi engine 1800 et 2000cm3. Sierra continue avec le 2.3 jusque son partie en 1993. Non MK 2/3 ici. Mais on potenciée avec injection, turbo, etc. Cette moteur argentine, le meme "Lima", a 300+ hp Turbo + injection http://www.pellegriniracing.com.ar/desarrollo%20del%20sierra.htm Cette auto a une Borg Warner T5, autres turbos ont boîte Mazda (Ranger) Par comparation, la Merkur XR4Ti 175 hp (145 avec AT) avec le Lima turbo. La calandre ajourée esta pour meullier ventileur l' engine. Autres preferent le front fermé. Ou interchanger. En Buenos Aires, nous preferons le para choc européenne, et aimons la "Cossie". Quand seront autos classiques (pour nôtre legislation, 30 ans) nous importerons toutes!, je. Salut! OSCAR + AT. PS Est-ce que il y a mieux Sierra automatique en France? C3 ou A4LD boite, je suppose (MK2)

Ca va. Ma fianceé. Elle est connu dans nos forun par "L´automagique" (x automatique + magique) La voiture est originnele et standart. Seulement j'ai aditioné 3° stop lumiére Hella, et inertiales derriéres. Les XR4 jantes sont aussi originelles. Pneus Pirelli P400 185/70/14 Audio blaupunkt. Le "Lima" 2.3 105 hp; carburateur Solex 34/34 Moi, a lá Autodromo Oscar gálvez, Buenos Aires Enjoy des photos. OSCAR + AT

Ca va, MoyaNOS! Voy a tratar con mi francés, sino con mi ingles y finalmente con el español. Tengo que hacer algo para que me desbloqueen o el Administrador o el sistema lo hace? Muy contento de estar acá y ansioso por ver el material. GRACIAS a todos por la bienvenida! OSCAR

Ca va, Sleeperman! Merci beaucoup. A la signature, finalement, mon auto. La photo est dans "Autódromo Oscar Galvez", (Buenos Aires Formula 1 1995-98), dans un exposition d´autos classiques, avec un peu de Photoshop ;-) par mes amis du Fans Club.

Attendez la direction du Fans Club Officiel Argentina. www.fordsierrafansclub.com.ar www.fordsierranet.com.ar Nous avons au forum, membres de France. Salut! OSCAR + AT PS En Argentina, nous avons seulement Sierra MKI fabriquées ici. Il y a quelque Sierras diplomatiques 2.0; et Merkur XR4Ti et V6 allemands.

Hello: Je m´appelle Oscar et j' habite a Buenos Aires, Argentina. Comme est indiqueé a la signature, j´ai a 1989 Sierra MKI Rural (Estate /Turnier) avec boîte automatique C3 "Bordeaux". Le moteur est le connu Ford "Lima" 2.3 avec carburateur Solex 34/34. 105 hp. Le meme qu' equipe a Merkur XR4Ti, mais sans le turbo. Je suis trés heureux d´[etre ici. J´ai etudié francaise au college... il y a 25 ans! Pardon! Il est possible d´ecrire en spagnol ou anglais? OSCAR
