Two questions for the Laserheads:
Just bought an automatic 88 Laser Ghia hatch. Wondering how much $ I'd be looking at getting a 5sd manual gearbox? Mates say it's a bit exy. My old manual 83 Laser got up to 380,000km but the rego went dead... so I upgraded. I love the car, but I keep reaching for the gearstick unconsiously. Also it's a bit thirstier than the 83 laser I had. Is there any (relatively easy/cheap) things I can do to bring the fuel economy down? It's not as bad as the old 77 V8 Fairmont but still... it's only supposed to be 1.6 and easter fuel prices eat it. Cheers for any answers you experts out there can offer. |
