1990 Daihatsu Charade TS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Want performance spend the $$$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both CV's have been replaced
Clutch has been replaced
Seats are completely shot
New suspension all round.
General comments?
Have done some performance work to the engine with some head work, a decent cam, free flowing exhaust which helped heaps
Trying to find an imported turbo engine has been a big hassle and the same for a bodykit
The changes in the suspension have made it handle like nothing I have driven except the new Mazda Sp23.
