like the title says, what can you tell me about early DAX V8 Rush (1994), good and especially bad things.

Going to see one tomorrow

SD1 engine/gearbox; capri 3l live axle.

Best avoided or ....?

FWIW I remember it getting good reviews in the magazines.

One thing to remember is it was well developed when Dax took it on - it came from Germany and I think had already passed TUV. It was called the Mohr 7 I think.

I guess you mean this one......looks OK for the money (good newer ones go for about double that)



I Built a V8 rush (1997 vintage) but mine was IRS with a 3500 Injection Rover V8. Great car and surprisingly affordable at the moment.

MY Rush.......sold it 3 years ago.....(currently building another Rush....)



The live axle and those wheels will keep you on your toes but a swap to an LSD (if it has an open diff) and better wheels (daxes should have wide rims!) & stickier tyres will help.

Where abouts are you in SW Herts?
