Subject:      Frydae NVC:  Diesel Rabbits
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


Today I was thinking about the old diesel rabbits from the early '80's.
Does anyone recall which engine came stock in the car; was it a 1.6 NA or 1.6 TD?
Would it be difficult to convert to a 1.9 TD?
Are they a headache to maintain?  My gut reaction is it would be a trouble free vehicle, IF set-up properly at the start.
I had a couple of gas rabbits back in the day, that I enjoyed very much, and thought a well maintained diesel version might be an economical car for teenagers to drive, with little means of driving too fast or otherwise dangerously. 
Appreciate any opinions and experiences rendered.
Cheers, Anthony'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo)
