Ryan's Difthatsu L200RS

[Pidgey]

Just got this for free off my sister. Just something to daily so I can wait until something good comes up for drifting.
It's a 1993 L200RS Daihatsu Mira. I personally believe the RS stands for "Racing Sport" as it totally kicks ass.
totally stock with just over 200,000K's. Was owned by my Great Aunt before my sister, So every service has been kept up to date etc.
Future plans are:
-De-sticker
-Take the side molds off
-Take badges off
-Make it look clean
-L700 coilovers from later model.
-Some form of low offset 13's (i have no idea how to use yahoo.jp)
-ASTRO TURF ROOF....for the hehe's and haha's.
-Some form of 2 inch exhaust with an up swept pipe at the back.... also for the lol's.
Here is it's state currently in my garage.

Any suggestion's/abuse/laughter is welcomed

Ok, so how do you embed pictures from photo bucket?

[ke70dave]

copy the part that is the img at the ends.

or copy the "direct link" and click the little photo icon in the box that you reply in.

what size engine that thing got? must be little!

oh and get some tyre blackener on that front bar asap! or paint it white...either way faded isn't the greatest

cool car though, must be cheap on petrol.

re: wheels

i think these are 110PCD like the L70V miras, so finding wheels is a prick. yahoo have a few 7J Mk I's but otherwise not a lot to choose from. ideally, getting the hubs welded and redrilled to 114.3PCD would be a much better option as it opens up a whole heap of wheels

[Pidgey]

Yeah, I'm thinking of sanding it back a little with wet and dry and tire blacking it.
Didn't think of spraying it same colour but now that you say it, would be pretty nice.
and yeah, 695cc 3 cylinder injected loves it. It only weighs a touch under 600Kg though so it pulls decently.

[Pidgey]

welding and re-drilling sounds expensive. maybe. not sure, i don't want to spend tooooo much on it.

[ill-minded]

alternatively, you could order 13" superlites with 110PCD

also, i reckon cut out the slits in the grill. sweet score otherwise

[Pidgey]

Mmm, superlights may look a little wierd. but if it's the only easier way then meh, i wont mind would look cool with stretch and some offset anyway.
cutting grill may look good now you think of it.

[driftke70]

just get hubs machined, dont need to reweld shit.
