I've had Laser's all my life for a daily driver run around vehicle, can not fault them,
I had a KB Ghia 5M, bought this for the missus as her 1st car, got rear ended and written off, Bought a KE 5M, got rear ended, but fixed, then sold of to purchase 3rd Laser, KJII Liata GLXi 5M, got rear ended again, written of. Now have a KJIII Liata GLXi 5m, still going strong. |

Just bought an '01 KQ SR2 for the youngest son. It has 111,000 k's on the clock, good service history, in great condition and goes very well. Picked up a K & N filter for it this arvo and have just ordered a set of pacemaker headers for it which should be fitted later next week all going well.. Test drove quite a few smaller cars, Hyundai Getz, Toyota Echo Sportivo, 2003 Corolla, 2005 Ford Fiesta ( some were not very good examples obviously) found they all really struggled especially when the a/c was on, first drive of the SR2 and I was very impressed. Here's a couple of pics from the original private ad, haven't had time to do anything to it yet due to the weather (rain and storms NSW) Hoping to give it a good detail in the next week or so.

I bought it Friday week-ago with 109980 on it. Now has 110450. I love it. Needs some minor mods. Russ, run it up on the dyno with std exhaust and no Pod then again with it. I'm interested in knowing what gains are to be had.

Love the SR2's, when we had our 2nd laser written off, we went looking for a SR2 or even an SR but couldn't find a nice example, and as time was of the esence we had to find a good vehicle fast,
I looked at one SR2 in Geelong owned by a P plater, poor laser, lol.......... |

gday guys yeh I got a laser too,This is my low budget kh2 TX3 track car Im building up,when ever I get a spare minute,and $$$ its pretty stock apart from extractors/exhaust,better intake ,short shifter, fitting superlows, better shocks, bigger sway bars,strut braces,semi slick tyres and thats about all I will do to it just to have a bit of fun in it at the track. It actually goes quite well.
It will be replaced by a mx5 race car in the future. ![]() ![]() Its only cost about $500 so far. I do like the kf/kh shape tx3s I also had a KB s pack years ago and put a b6 1600 twin cam in it. they are cool keep the photos coming

If so one thing I have done recently that has improved the idle and economy is to clean the throttle body, mine was so dirty, it was amazing how bad it was, since cleaning it, I have noticed the idle is much smoother and the economy has gone down from around 9/100klm to 8/100klm in town. |

![]() Does anybody happen to know if there is a Pick A Part style wreckers in the Bayswater Vic area? I have an '83 Mazda 323 Familiar (same as the KB Laser) that I want to get some engine parts for... Things like a new head and for the right price I might even check out the possibility of a new short engine. My current set up has Fuel Injection and a Turbo, so I would be looking at fitting that gear onto any new short (or long) engine that I may be able to get a hold of. Any help is gratefully appreciated Cheers Wayne

Yes pick-a-apart is in Kilsyth mate.
Turn right off liverpool rd onto canterbury rd (heading up towards montrose), and its on the right hand side there at the turn off into that quarry. Thanks for the comment about my old car btw. It's greatly missed, but I do believe the KE TX3s were made to be red :P Last edited by KETX3; 22-02-2010 at 06:50 PM. |

![]() Yes... FORD brought out some really nice looking Lasers during that era and the one you have/had didn't miss out in the looks department. I swapped out the front panels on my Familar 323 with those from a KB laser which were a perfect fit and served to confuse many a Main Roads Lollypop person ![]() Anyway thanks again... Cheers Wayne

I bought one for Mum a couple of years back, a 2001 model to replace the 1992 model she had. Was a bit of a mission trying to find the right combo though (sedan, auto).
They're good cars.
