1987 Daihatsu Charade GTti review from Australia and New Zealand
"A pocket rocket, well worth it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needs a new engine, we are currently rebuilding one. This will be transplanted in, in about 2 to 3 months.
Replaced the clutch, very unreliable for clutches.
General comments?
Awesome car, beats standard GTS-T and modified FTO's. Beats standard GSR's.
Awesomely quick car, I love it!
Not very good interior, but we are in the process of re-doing it.
We have two other friends that own GTti's and they like them too.
Took air con out and improved the performance.
Installed a blow off valve, made great difference.
2 1/2 exhaust, huge power increase.
16" MOMO GT mags. MOMO race steering wheel and MOMO gear knob.
Soon to get a bigger turbo.
