zarafrost,

that's one of our bros car, zahrul. as far as i know, his car is in good condition. selling coz he got 2 altezzas. both brought back frm japan. so the reason of him selling is to get rid of 1, not because of problem whatsoever i think.

just check if there's any engine leak, funny sound on the suspension, lower/upper arms; all are minor defects i guess if there is 1. if not u r 1 lucky buyer. no worries on the 6mt gearbox.

that car is in very good running condition. somemore is the later year, 2002, model.
i think, but not entirely sure, that it is sold.
try call la..

Mike, he said that he's viewing the car tomoro..so he must have called Zahrul for an appointment. still available i guess.

hi! g221 tai kor.
u said that zahrul his car is it blue color with gold rim and c-west body kit？
actually yesterday i go to kl see that car. year make 2002, 6 mt and trd spec. selling at rm72000,i saw at mudah.my also.
after i check the car everything is ok, also can said is tip-top contition. the dashboard look ahve some scratches. that one i still accept.
but the only thing is after checking the spare tire compartment (i thinks is part of body,cos same color) there r look like welding and cement before, quite a lot of line. of cos his brother said no accident. so that is original?
any sifu and si heng can upload picture of that part?pls pls pls help me?and thanks a lot。
i really love altezza, is my dream car.

Have a question for the Altezza masters...i google the 5 speed auto box from the RS200 and wiki says its the same as the 5 speed from SC430(2001-2005) (gearbox model A650E), how true is this? That means i can swap out the V8 bellhousing and swap back in the ori 3S unit?
So if the gearbox konked, more choices to salvage the gearbox from other models?
