if maintained well then you shouldnt have many major problems
everything on the car (minus the chassis itself) can and is replaced or maintained , according to the workshop manual. So , if maintained - the car should pretty much be hassle free. If purchased id do a minor service - change all fluids oil filter thermostat fuel filter etc. And look at replacing most bushes and shocks to reclaim a newer feel
yeah, im planning to change gear and crank oils, change engine mounts, thermostat is fine as it doesnt fluctuate. do everything slowlyQuote:

Wear and tear on a clutch isn't really felt by alot of people.Quote:

Engine mounts i would expect to either be worn or would have been replaced on a car with that many km's.
Owner mature i take or no?
Good way to tell if the owner is a person who maintains his belonging, if you go inspect the car (which you will at one stage), if it's at his place, notice, is his garage or front yard a mess or it maintained?
Things like that can you a good idea of how clean and tidy a person is. << Something i looked at when i first looking into buying a DC5R but i took a gamble at bought from a delear in Melbourne with full Honda records and i've NEVER had a drama expect for my starter motor but this a common fault anyway...
Best of luck mate
Yeah seller claimed that car was bought with slipping.clutch and he had it replaced with exedy sports clutch. The clutch seemed to grip hard
Shifts werent that smooth so im assuming.needs change.in fluid as last done 20000 kms ago
I would agree to changing gearbox fluid even if they claim it was just done.Quote:

If the mounts are cracked you can fill them instead of replacing. A few people are against it but two of my mates did it with their EF8's (one with Sikaflex, one with polyurethane) and they both feel totally fine to drive.
Its piece of mind ! As I stated , best to start afresh with everything you can.Quote:

Yeah ill see about thr mounts
My plab for servicing is as follows.
Nulon sae 80 mtf with some.nulon g70 lube ( free up the gears and shifting)
Nulon 10w-30/40 hitech flow engine oil
Engine fuel injector flush and cleaner additivr
Engine mounts
Fuel filter
Ebc green brake pads for front
Teflon brake lines
Abythibg else?
Flush your coolant, brake fluid etc etc
Injectors if you're worried just pull them out and have them cleaned/flow tested.
