Welcome to the forums 
It's pretty much the same thing as the 1st gen Eclipse and Talon. Had the 2.0l turbo on it.welcome! was Laser similar to Daytona? friend had Shelby Daytona w turbo and intercooler:driving: Enjoy nvf!
I know that feel. Bought it used around 160k, sold it around 225k. I did pay $500 for the car, so I cannot complain. I HATED replacing the valve seals... Had to use a long torque wrench and a cut out deep well socket...Hello there jap2bd! I'm also from southwest Virginia and also looking to buy a Versa to replace a Chrysler Laser. Kind of crazy. I too hate to give up on my Laser but with 222,000 miles on it it's not terribly reliable any moreMine is a 2.5 non-turbo, T-tops, all digital instrument cluster. It was a nice car once upon a time and maybe it can be again if I ever regain my interest in restoring it.
