Not many problems have come from the Laser. My head gasket has blown once, but that was a result from driving in a bad way (burnouts).

The dash started to crack at about 180,000kms, but was easily covered up with a dash mat which I glued to the dash.

To start off, I am a person who thinks looks should come first and power should come second.

This car is a fantastic little car, there is lots of potential for modifications to be done.

I replaced the stock suspension with lowered Pedders suspension, and it handles even better than the stock setup, even though the stock springs are very good.

To improve handling around corners and for a better look, I have put some 18" wheels on the car and now it handles like it's stuck to the road.

The stock engine is very economical, however it does not have too much power in the lower RPM's, so I am currently fixing this problem by installing a supercharger. This will fix the lag the stock setup has when taking off from a stop.

My next venture into modifying the Laser will be a body kit. The car doesn't really need one, but it would look better with a little more style to its shape. I have only seen a few Lasers with body kits, and they stand out from the crowd, unlike the Skylines and other performance cars these days.

Once the car's body is done, the next step will be paint. I am thinking black as most 91 model Lasers have black door trims. I have tested this look with a can of black spray paint on one side of the vehicle, and was surprised at how much better it looked.

At the same time the interior is a little bland and not very interesting. I am changing the interior to hold two front bucket seats, custom back seats, re-trimmed doors, painted console and dash with inbuilt custom gauges.

As you can see, this model Laser has lots of potential and I have only listed a few of the modifications that are possible with the Laser.

Absolutely nothing, as you could tell with the 58,000 Km’s on the clock, its like brand new!

But can be quite annoying to sit there and wait for it to warm up on cold mornings.

This car handles really well, and when you put your foot to the floor (literally I might add) It has awesome pick up, I’m 17 and when I’m in the car by my self, its quite quick.

I have put a Sony CD player in it, and also Sony 6x9’s in the back.

With the Km’s being extremely low, at just 58,000km’s – The original engine when it was brought brand new by my Grandfather – kept in the family since new.

Could do with a 4spd Auto, But I guess its all right, I had a 92 Laser GLI Hatch (1.8ltr)

And have moved down to this 91 Laser GL Sedan (1.6ltr) Both Auto’s, and really this is just as quick as the 1.8, but not when taking off, I miss the 1.8 for that.

With the Air on, the engine seem to struggle a little, and loses power, not much, like it’s about to break down, but you can notice it.

Petrol it quite good, cost’s about $55 (AU) to fill it up – depending where you go.
