1993 Ford Laser GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good little car as a runabout, Better with a few bucks throw at it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension was worn when first bought it, replaced shockers and springs with KYB gas and King Springs.
Head gasket started leaking oil, had top end of motor rebuilt and replaced all relevant seals.
New heavy duty clutch.
Car runs good and quite cheap to maintain compared to others.
General comments?
With good suspension upgrade the laser handles much better than average.
Cold air intake can greatly improve performance.
