Item: Ford Laser 1990 KF Ghia fully loaded options all in working order. Air, P/S, Central Locking, Velour interior, Electric Mirrors. Fitted with rebuilt 1.8 Turbo, Injected, Intercooled Jap Spec BPT + 5 Speed Box. 9 months rego. Registered with this engine in it in NSW.
Nothing to spend. Full Sleeper everything is stealth never an issue with cops or theives. Low KM's on the running gear maybe 70 thousand kays. Speedo says 230 but the car is in such good condition i'd say there is really less than that as the instrumentation cluster has been replaced with a 240km/h speedo etc. My daily driver 99% of the time the turbo doesn't even come on boost as i'm in peak hour traffic and i just crawl along. I'm 35 years old and this is my second car that I use to get to the train station and back I don't flog it I really love it.

Item Condition: Excellent - Clean Original Well looked after inside and out
Reason for Selling: Looking to buy an AWD or Rear drive turbo car as I have the track day bug after doing one at eatern Creek otherwise i'll just keep it as there is no issues (and there has never been an issue) with this little beast
Price and Payment Conditions: $6000 negotiable
Extra Info:
Performance - timed 0-100kmh 6.4sec
- 1/4 mile est low 14's.
- Never run on the dyno but it's very powerful.
- Eastern Creek 2.01 lap time - 200km/h on the main straight (did an open track day as a present from my wife only once) was faster or as fast and some expensive cars on the day 2002 WRX, Golf GTi, GTP FPV 290kw Falcon, Mazda 3 MPS, Integra Type-R and more. Kept the revs to a max of 6000rpm all day. It's so light it's quick coming in and midway through the corners and fast on the straights.
Once off the line this car is much quicker than it's acceleration times suggest as being a FWD there is a traction issue with a slow rolling start it gets to 100km/h in more like 5.7 seconds and really pins you into the seat. On the street the motor is perfect and very flexible accelerating hard in any gear and has never ever ever missed a beat. The temperature gauge has never moved from where it always sits half way between Cold and 1/2 even in 30 degrees peak hour traffic with the air con on full or at the Track day. Brakes held up on the Track too.
Engine, Gearbox, Suspension, Brakes info
1.8 BPT Jap-Spec (much more grunt than a AUS Spec TX3 Turbo). I don't know exactly what work has been done on the engine but I think it's been rebuilt and feels new and it's NOT stock and has mountains of tourque and will rev out to 7500 if you let it. The Turbo pumps 11psi at the lowest boost setting I ran it at 13psi for the track day only and the performance times quoted. Any higher boost will require a Chip or Computer change to disable the factory fuel cutout about 13psi and a Dyno tune but it could go higher (ie) faster.. No oil leaks, smoke or strange noises come from this engine.
3" Turbo Back Mandrel Bent Stainless Straight Through Exhaust with high flow performance cat and 4" Turbo Smart Cannon. Comes with a restrictor for the canon (pictured) to keep the noise down I use this for daily driving as it very loud without it. Never hassled by the cops though.
Stainless Steel Pod Filter. Also comes with standard air box.
Small portion of the lower left front bumper cut away and modified for Cold Air Induction and Cold Air Scoop for Side Mount Intercooler very effective and barely noticable.
TurboSmart Boost controller usually set to lowest boost level

A little history on this car. I baught it 2 years ago after the motor, box, suspension, and brakes were installed by Formaz Parts Plus in Wetherill Park (a Laser and 323 parts dealer that does these engine conversions all the time). It's a top notch professional job that looks factory original no legal issues ever. Paint is good.
All the running gear is from a written off 323 that hit a pole in the rear quarter. Any damaged parts on the suspension were replaced before being installed on this car you can see for yourself under the car..

Contact Details: Call me on 0411 653 057 or PM if you like. Open to a swap with cash your way if your looking for a cheaper (but by no means less fun) car. Not sure what i'm getting yet either a Skyline GTS-T, GTR, Pulsar GTiR, 180SX, or Liberty Turbo/WRX has to go hard.
This is about all I know about the car. Sorry for the long post but there shouldn't be any questions
now.
