sorry pal, didn't manage to login here due to work commitment. any update from mocha73?

 

[Mocha73]

Transfer of ownership completed. Will pay up balance when I collect the car this weekend. Hopefully can post some pics of it.

From the experience's of all the sifus here, what are the key wear and tear things to change for a 10 year old coupe?

 

[Daniel Lee]

The very first thing to look out will be the timing belt(change every 60k km).
Then check out the drive shaft, clutch, shock absorbers, suspension and engine mountings and also engine gasket.
One thing that almost every RD1 Coupe had was aircond problem.

BS, does RD1 and RD2 share the same aircond system?

 

[ericmivec]

my frd told me is YES, rd1 overall same wif rd2, only tuscani is special.

i changed my rd1 auto->manual, steering rack, brake booster, 2 engine mounting, cost me 950 T__T .. but quite cheap also la.

Yup. they do.

But till today I never come across any RD2 owner complain about aircond problem.
Is RD2 aircond an upgraded version?:Not_Impressed:
