1996 Asia Motors Rocsta DX 1.8 petrol from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Good all round car

Faults:

Well I've had a few problems.

I had to put a new alternator on it, so I just modified an old Subaru wagon to fit it.

At the moment I'm trying to get brake cylinders and shoes, but no one seems to have them.

General Comments:

My engine is also worked, but I need new suspension cause it doesn't handle that well.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

1996 Asia Motors Rocsta DX Deluxe 1.8L petrol from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Just get one and surprise your friends

Faults:

Clutch master cylinder needed replacing.

Petrol tank sprang a leak after a hit on the ground.

General Comments:

This truck is a surprise performer off road.

With 31/10.5/15 Centipede mud tires and a 32mm body lift this 4wd can do most others can't without serious modifications.

I have also removed the front sway bar for more travel and flex off road.

This mod has made no difference to road handling due to big tires.

The 1.8l petrol is sumewhat underpowered.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I recently got a hold of battered little Rocsta R1. And I still love it despite its shedding skin.

It's a marvel offroad. And I plan to compete it offroad, after some very needed modifications, like high lifts... do you know of any after market soft ride suspensions?
