1985 Ford Laser S Twin Carb review from Malaysia
"Built Tough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Because of it's age, the suspension, especially the shock absorbers, bushes, joints, etc needs to be check and replace.
The fuel system, twin carburetor also needs to be replaced (Consume lots of petrol) :- (
Rear old tyres need to be replace too (185/60/R13 <<--- 175/70/R13).
Steering wheel a bit loose, needs to be checked.
General comments?
It's a reliable car and the engine is powerful too.
No major repairs till now.
My only concern is the RIDE and The Fuel Burning Efficiency.
Decides to convert the rear drum brakes to disc brakes for better braking especially when driving at high speed and also when in an emergency situation.
