#9 of 16 1994 Plymouth Laser - Historical Info by mikevegas06 Mar 21, 2008 (12:15 pm)
The following info gathered from consumerguide.com, edmunds.com, and product brochures:    For its final season, Laser got only detail changes. The optional security system was improved. A mobile cell phone (mounted in the car) was made available. Exterior color choices were Medium Quartz, Deep Green Pearl, Electric Blue, Bright White, Medium Red, Black, Radiant Red, Silver, and Turquoise. Interior color choices were Dark Agate, Medium Quartz, and Crimson Red

Replying to: paisan (Mar 20, 2008 5:21 pm) Thanks, I'll have to get back later with a picture of those switches. Not sure how to upload pictures here through this forum. But I do have pictures of all three vehicles on My CarSpace , and I would definately say they're worth a look. With the exception of a slightly raised spoiler, the Daytona looks very much the same as the factory version at a glance. I should probably take some pictures of the engine compartment too. He took it to a Mopar show in Kokomo, IN and placed first in his class. He was in his seventies and really enjoyed watching all the young bucks scratchin their heads over it. Lyle
#11 of 16 Daytona switches by angelscowboy Mar 27, 2008 (3:38 pm)
I finally got a picture of those switches. I have my doubts that they're original equipment. The toggle on the far left lifts the lights. The one on the right is rigged up to the carburator to lock out the 4 barrel as a fuel saving option. I still have yet to find any function for the 3 in the middle.
#12 of 16 No Heat by kayfuslee Jan 20, 2009 (6:26 pm)
Anybody know why it would take almost a 1/2 hr of driving before getting heat in the car? Replies to this message: PAman (Jan 26, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: kayfuslee (Jan 20, 2009 6:26 pm) Check two things; your thermostat and the radiator fans.   On some cars, when you use the defroster setting, it automatically turns on the A/C compressor. That is due to the fact that dry warm air clears a windshield faster than warm moist air. If the A/C compressor comes on, most cars these days automatically turn on the radiator fans in order to keep the compressor from being overpressurized on the high side. However, if the fan is on, it could keep your car from warming up quickly.   Also, your thermostat could be the wrong one, coming open too soon, or be stuck in the open position. If it is open and coolant is flowing all the time, it will take a LOT longer for the heater to put out any heat. Most manufacturers call for a 185, 190 or 195 degree thermostat. A good parts store can tell you what your car should have.   BTW, do NOT buy a Robert Shaw thermostat. Go with an OEM or a Stant thermostat.
