Just thought I'd post up a few pics of my other car.
It's a 1991 Ford Laser KF TX3 N/A. I've had it for 4 years now and I bought it to do some sprint racing in initially, but then it turned into my daily. I did race it at the BP Midlands/Pedders No Bull series at Winton raceway for a little while back in 2008 and in the last race of the year I got third in class in it which wasn't bad considering it was almost stock. I run in the under 2ltr natually aspirated road registered class so it still has be to street legal. I've also showed the car at Small Ford Sunday here in Melbourne and won best laser in 2008, 2009 and 2011. So for a cheap run around it has served me well. I've unfortunatley let it go a bit since I decided to get a new car ( link here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11349033), and it's now in storage until next year when I can find the time and money to set it up for track duties again. Here are some pics of it over the time I've had it:             Chippa

Still a clean neat unit though.
Had some decent punt for their time as well. What suspension work was done to it??? My Mother had a KF GHIA 1.8L SOHC in manual ... and that even moved along pretty well. And drive even better after getting pretty much fully kitted out at Whiteline in the late 90's

Nice mate, I bet that trophy looks good on your nightstand.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't replied. Keep forgetting I still own it!! Lol it's been in storage since I got my XR6T so looking at laser stuff isn't something I've been doing.
Mechan1k: it's running lowered king springs and boge shocks all round. I'm looking at putting in super lows, larger sway bars front and rear, new bushes all round and front and rear strut braces some time in the future. I need to get it ready to race again. It's been over 3 years since I had it out on the track ( since just before my son was born!), so itching to get back out there but need to set the car up right this time around so I can be a bit more competitive. Future plans are full cage and a new engine/gearbox setup to give it a bit more go. Plus some weight loss in the form of it's interior. Need to keep it street legal and registered for a while too though so can't go too nuts. Only have 3-4 more years until it's eligible for clubs plates! Hopefully will have it home soon so I can start on it. Had to put it into storage on a friends farm for a while as I thought I was getting another car, but that has just falling through!
