1986 Ford Laser TX3 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun, Fast and can handle an ass whoopin!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch started slipping.
Alternator Died.
Problems with Fuel Injectors.
General comments?
A good car with lots of potential.
With a few mods this car could become a serious drag machine, but it very underestimated due to its 'laser' badging.
I don't recommend getting this car if your above 190cms tall as I'm 195cms and find it quite uncomfortable at times.
