I needed a second car that my wife could use, so bought this! I know some people on here have a Kei car fetish, So get busy with the photoshopping! This is the same car as th Diahatsu Mira, so I am reliably informed.    |

I'm interested to see what you do with this!
You know, that engine is about halfway out isn't it? Couple more bolts and...
Wasn't there a Mira 4x4TT-DanzigXJ75-superhappyblower version with a spicy set-up? Or maybe I dreamt it... I'm sure there was though! ;D

Hey, yours is probably faster at the moment as I can't drive it on boost. Top speed of around 50mph for the lose.

TRXX Avanzato is one of the most bonkers cars I have ever driven. New, crazy levels of lift off oversteer. Fast in, lift and around the back comes - just like that. GR8 4 DRIFTN  |

Tell me about it, I'm not looking forward to when it snows. In my 3cyl 4WD Mira just having the turbo kick in on greasy roads was enough to provoke it, so you had to drive it around with about 10% throttle everywhere. The TR-XX is the same thing but a lot more twitchy. Lovely.
I imagine Nippas are much the same (less turbo) due to the pram tyres in action. Be careful out there!

(Insert Mr Burns' voice) EXCELLENT. lol. I haven't really pushed it far enough yet. You hit a corner, turn the wheel and it grips. I lose my nerve before it loses traction. I must be losing my touch.  |

The dealership has now quoted me £470 to fix the speedo. Errrr.... Replaced speedo cable - nothing. Replaced speedo drive - still nothing. Apparently the broken part is within the 'box, meaning a re-con 'box would be cheaper. I've never fitted a gearbox before so would be in the hands of the dealer as no-one else will touch it. |

Hell, get a used L200 Mira gearbox from a scrappers yourself! Probably £50 tops.

Buy a cheap GPS Sat Nav thingy - It tells you your speed.  Speedo is not tested in the MOT.  |
