1987 Daihatsu Charade GTti review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap, fun, exciting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults to occur as yet, apart from a blown coolant hose to the turbo, and one CV joint.
General comments?
The car handles like a dream, it's got a bodykit from Japan, a set of 15' MOMO wheels on it, beats a 2 liter Skyline.
New computer, now has boost running 22psi and still goes nuts.
Overall it's fun and goes like a bullet.
