A Present for my daughter

[BJ]

Well, as some of you will know my daughter ( Stephanie ) has go her leaner's, so what does ever girl need to have? That's right here very own car. Now i do have the GS for her but that is a way down the track. So in the mean time this is going to be here new set of wheels. 1987 Laser four door hatch. I hope to be getting it for her this weekend. It is the 1.6 model with 5 speed. Well there you have it my little girls new car. Bj




Do they do a turbo kit for these : :

Turbo TX3 AWD ..... you bet they can have a turbo

[BJ]

Oh bugger i wish you hadn't said that.

[XFshep]

should get her the sedan instead.

Good stuff. Those Lasers are not a bad bit of gear at all. A mates girl friend had one for years, looks exactly the same lol. It was super reliable and nice to drive.

Looks tidy, you can pick those up real cheap these days, the BEST ones go for about $1500-$2000. You can find bits for them on the street.

Lasers rock! You can be sure that they can take a flogging :

It is going to cost us the princely sum of $400. Now you cant beat that.

What's the go, John? I can't see Stephanie being too happy with such a girly (or even late model) car.

I know. The Last words to come out of her mouth last week about cars was and I quote "I do not wont anything that small" although she was talking about a smart car. I guess that's what i get for taking here to the motor show.

Naa , more space = more junk , I know , I've got 2 daughters with a Laser each .

Great buy BJ , you won't be sorry . Only problem now is , Dad want's to go for a "Run" down the street & daughters car is a cheap , fun little car to drive . : , daughter get's to go out : "Damn , dad's got it again" , Lol . (done it myself)

Don't forget , she can't drive a Turbo till she's off her "P's"

Good move BJ, they're incredibly cheap to run! My gf's Meteor (same 1.6L 5spd drivetrain as Stephanie's Laser) travelled from Morwell to Geelong & back on the weekend, including a bit of driving around in Melbourne, & it only went through $40 of fuel.

A perfect first car for her ;)

Thanks Norm. I was more thinking out loud about the turbo. So far everyone i have told have all said the same thing about it. Thanks for the positive comments people.

Those Lasers are great little cars. My first car was one of the last model KE Lasers, had it for 5 years and it ended up with 189,000kms on the clock, at the time I drove around a lot for work and it only ever let me down once. It has been 3 years since I sold it and now my girlfriend is looking for a small car to get her to work and home in, I really wish I kept it so she could use it.

So I take it that fibreglass bonnet is just about ready to come off the garage wall then? It might not be the exact same red, but it never matched the XC either, did it?

I sense a monster in the works.

[BJ]

Now lets see. We have gone from a nice innocent little Laser to a dam 1/4 mile stomper : No I tell you NO. Plus the bonnet is the same colour Woz just needs a cut and polish. Dam there i go again.

[Aranthi]

nothing wrong with a lil 1/4 mile stomper :P my sis has a smilar car unforutnally its a mitsubishi colt , ant all small cars the same lol its cheap as **** to run but no ballz at all, but defentally go for a turbo BJ, or even a 393 turbo that be fun hehe, looks like u got a good buy!

[Bill_R]

Looks nice and clean. How many clicks?
I see they are putting up a block of land with it. Wont' take long to tear that up! ;)

You know your little girl is growing up when you buy their first car, good stuff BJ.

[BJ]

Yeah where have 17 years gone??

[XRated]

Sigma haha!

Mazda has a performance "BPT" motor or something you could drop in too. My mate did it in his AWD TX3 *hint hint* I wouldn't mind one for a run-about.

For 400 bucks, you can't go wrong! :P
