QUOTE(Materazzi @ Aug 21 2011, 06:12 PM) ford laser 88 is very cheap, RM 4k. value for money? That's already 23 years old. Even with a 4k price tag, there's also the potential costs of replacing any worn-out parts. Don't know how the FC is like but cars back then aren't too fuel efficient compared to newer cars I think.how about the fuel consumption and spare parts? Ford Laser...now that's nostalgia. My father used to drive one (sedan). I think it was the KA/KB (1981–1985) generation. Lasted I think around 13 years. Sold it off for a brand new Proton Wira sometime around 1994 or 1995 as the Ford's engine was constantly dying out while idling due to old age. |

QUOTE(John91 @ Aug 21 2011, 11:58 AM) Im an engineering student so this is quite interesting to me... Maybe overinflated tires offer less frictional rolling resistance due to less surface area contact, but makes up for by increasing moment of inertia... But so far i did some googling everywhere doesnt mention anything that supports my statement. I'll try my next full tank of fuel first. u can get good infos from tire rack @baboon- its very important to check ur tire pressure as underinflated tires will increase fc n tire wear drastically. U cant see from just observations as the tire will look d same. Check out this link. - Tiretech thanks for sharing. |

Hi ALeUNe! There's an online form on the first page that you can add yourself to the headcount. Just click on the Ford Focus input form button.
