Heh, I'm not sure that there would be a De Tomaso engine that would fit in the model Charade I'm thinking of. Pity ;-)

I don't have any plans on destroying anything with it. More after something that is fun to drive (well, at least more fun than my boring lancer gli). Wouldn't be spending a cent on looks or 'noise' I'm actually between skylines at the moment- and will be for some time :-(

Hi all, I'm considering purchasing a Kei car for my daily driver. Specifically, something like a 2003-2005 model Daihatsu Charade. My reasoning: Cheap to buy Cheap to run Similar power/weight as an original cooper s! (from what I can tell) Would be like driving a go-kart :-) Now maybe this is wishful thinking, but I have these grand designs in my head of getting one of these things, removing the rear seats and performing a few minor mods to improve handling (and power, if possible). Keen to hear from people that have driven these cars, and any other suggestions / ideas. Am I completely crazy? ;-) Thanks

SOLD.

Amazingly, this is still for sale. You'd be hard pressed to find an R33 like this for cheaper. I said I can't go cheaper before, but looks like I might have to. $10,500 firm

Had some interest but nothing firm yet. Pretty good deal for $10,999. Make me an offer, I might consider it.

What a fantastic car Any rust though?

Anyone? Can't really go any cheaper.

Down to $10,999

Actually, scratch that. I will need a daily. Will consider swaps with cash my way. Something NA and mint condition would do it- prefer a smaller car.

Correct. Cash it is, no swaps.

Still for sale. Make me an offer.

Any offers?

Hi all, I don't post much on these forums anymore- life just gets too busy! Anyhow, I'm looking to save for a house deposit and sadly this means that the skyline needs to go.

I am a mature, non smoker, non-p plate driver and have never driven the car aggressively. Car is in great condition inside and out. It does however have some minor paint faint/deterioration (mainly boot lid and spoiler), but the car has never been in an accident. It has a Japanese Kenwood CD/Radio that came with the car- this doesn’t pick up Australian radio and doesn’t appear to play cds properly. Professionally tuned on the dyno to produce 170kw at the wheels at 9psi- a very safe, reliable tune that suits this car as it is my daily driver. Serviced every 5000kms.
