For Sale is my Project - KE 1989 TX3 4WD Turbo Laser. Car is not registered.

This car is an ex rally / race car. It has welded & strengthened seams. Mounts for roll cage. etc - Fully kitted out for rally / race. Also has front and rear strut braces. Mounts for race harness and comes with harness kit (not new, not installed). This car handles like a cart !

I have started it's transformation but need completion now as I am going O/S/

1.6L turbo engine has just had new Excedy 3 puck racing clutch fitted. Engine runs well and is in car - but need gearbox links, throttle cables and wiring up. The car comes with a old Haltech Fuel only ECU - but would recommend replacing with a newer Fuel & Ignition ECU as the Haltech is no longer supported and getting the tuning software has proved to be difficult. Engine runs perfect and compression is a uniform 160 accross all cylinders. A variety of Pod filters comes with the package.

The engine has bigger injectors - Custom Dump and Big straight thru exhaust (no cat)

The turbo has been stripped, cleaned and polished. No shaft play at all - Also comes with a spare turbo.

Suspension has been replaced by me as it had a bent front strut. Full race spec K-Sport inverted coil overs have been fitted to the front - I have the rear coil overs but haven't fitted them. The suspension is brand new and cost me $2,500. Old suspension comes with the package.

I have replaced all suspension rubbers at the front along with tie rod ends and control arms with new items - New sway bar links bushes. The front sway bar is a massive 30mm job and the rear suspension has been worked for racing.

Engine mounts are all good - had to replace one with a new one. Crossmember rubber have been replaced with new one.

Basically, when I took the engine out - if anything was worn or broken, I replaced with new items.

Front and rear discs have been replaced by new DBA slotted rotors - Fronts are fitted - Rears are not - but come with the package. Brake pads are good - comes with a new set of rear pads. Brake system has fully braided lines and has brake bias control (front / rear). Handbrake is Hydrolic.

Front wheel bearings have been replaced & repacked with new ones. All CV joints have been inspected and re-packed.

Car has racing seats installed which are a bit old - but I have new seats (not installed) available. (extra $300)

Wheels are polished Simmons all around - Tyres are good condition.

Car has been re-sprayed a few times which you can notice - Engine bay has been cleaned and re-sprayed.

I have spent over $5.5K on the car so far - and it won't take much to get into race condition.

Car will need to be towed as engine not completely hooked up and car is not registered.

I was thinking of stripping and selling the individual bits as I would get a lot more $$ this way- but basically I can't be stuffed - so if you want a bargain - Give us a call.

Price - Offers over $2,500
