Looking to buy a rx1

[Sly99]

Im looking to buy a 2005 rx1 with 8700 mile the track,wheel, runner have been replaced 1500 mile ago. The guy say it need exhaust donut. From what i reed i will probably need 2 y pipe from 03-04. Any thing i should check before buying it?

The only sled i had was a old citation and elan when i was young lol so this will be my first real sled.

If the a arm bushings are stock they are probably shot. Replace them with oilites.. Check out the rear suspension for cracks.

Check your speedo and secondary bearings, if needed gently pry off the seal, clean, repack with grease and put the seal back on. You should do this once a year every spring.

When i saw the sled it was in great shape and decide to bring it home. The front bushing its tight. The guy that had it before added grease nipple on the skid. Got the side rad from apex and cooper donut for it.

Do you have to add the rad and copper donuts or are they already installed?

No im going to add it. Local dealer had the cooper donut in stok and got the rad with fann and pipe on kijiji.
