    Rapid lowering suspenstion

    in RWD Skodas and historics

    Posted

    Looking for some advice please. I want to know if Skoda Favorit lowering springs will fit on a 1989 Rapid 136? With my Rapid being 89 is is probably one of the last made before they changed to the Favorit. Reason i'm asking is that Favorit springs on ebay are £75 and Estelle/Rapid are £135.

     

    Cheers

    Actually Favorit and Estelle/Rapid were produced paralelly from 1987 onwards until January, 1990.

    Actually, the Rapid won't tell you the time. A clock wasn't standard equipment. :p I don't think it it is a ridiculous comparison. Both are cars and both cost £12,000. Main difference is one won't loose value. Of course, practicality does come into it... 

     

    You also need to remember that the RiC is a rare model at the best of times. They were only sold in the UK and Canada and I can think of 4 in the UK today, 5 if you include this one. This is most definitely the best example. Don't get me wrong, it isn't cheap, far far from it but it isn't as expensive as it first sounds. To look at it another way if you were to buy a RiC (when one rarely comes up for sale) for £1500 you'll have to spend a good £7,000 to get it into the condition of this car (if you could find many of the obsolete parts) and you're then left with a restored, "high" mileage example. If you really want the best, and can find the money, it'd be worth it. 

     

    It'll be interesting to see if anyone does bite.

     

    Actualy they were sold only in the UK and in Austria. They were never sold in Canada. those lucky guys got the 135GLi with beige interior instead.

    Yep, it is!

    Back in 2008, I was about to buy an orange one from Bratislava (Pozsony for me, as it was the former capital of Hungary's).

    The car was a bit krusty, especially on the sills and I could see the ground from the driver's seat, as the floor was like an emmental cheese.

    Apart from these, it started nicely and it was a well runner both when idle and when accelerated.

    The owner asked some 900 quid for it but finally I didn't buy it. I have some good pictures of the car on my other PC, I may post a few later on.
