So the SX is knackered. Primarily due to short commutes. So its now on the drive awaiting its fate.
Meanwhile its replacement is another kinda crazy that ticks all my boxes . I needed run around that will keep me happy but not break either itself or the bank while we beat this Cancer and send it packing.
5dr for the girls. Auto sequential so Gwyn can play too. Flexible boot. It's mental, odd and super rare....only 205 were imported and last estimates reckon 180ish are still on the road in the UK
Boosh!
Daihatsu M201G (YRV) Turbo 130.
1.3 with an IHI turbo and tiny TMIC added.
127hp quoted stock power
125lb/ft quoted stock torque
Real world 0-60 ~8s
Top end is more than enough.
Kerb weight is a featherweight 930kg
Combined MPG is ~40
Tuning wise 180hp is easy and reliable to achieve
Only Modification at purchase
BK Racing 333 High Power Black - 15x6.5 4x100 et38
It needs some tidying up and new wheels are a must But it just flew through an MOT and came with a 3mth full parts and labour warranty from a garage with a good reputation
Mega thanks shout to Mark_clio2 for giving it the once over last week
Then to my dad for handling the testing and purchase process I get to drive it in a couple of days but dad took me out in it this afternoon and its totally bonkers!
