superspat Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 after around 4 years and 5 starlets i decided it time to try some thing diffrent, didnt want any thing bigger but wanted some thing rare and that i wont see on a weekly basic so after a couple of months of hunting i found what was looking an here she isfor thoses of you asking what the fu*k is it its adaihatsu mira avanzato TR-XX 660cc turbo jap kei car, front wheel drive and sporting a TMIC smaller than most oil coolers and pushing out only 64bhp but only weighing in at some thing like 600kg its got quite a bit of kick to it, as standard but it massivly restricted in the air box,tmic,and exhaust to comply with the jap kei car regulationsit makes my glanza and gt look like monster trucksits got a few mods like recaro fish nets front seats, and recaro railsmomo steering wheelhks boost gaugeapexi turbo timerAPD twin pass bov2" s/s exhaust with some 800cc motor bike exhaust can on the endproper JDM wind delfectorsi must say driving it i feel like a proper kid again and have never had soem much fun in such a slow car, and it has now become my main toy and sellign both my starlets to get a family car aswellwill get some more pics later to try and show how small it really isso been busy with teh zato,striped the rear, painted the wheels, fitted new exhaust, pulled out A/C, used a starelt tmic as a big upgrade, starlet front mount air filter kit and painted up a few bitspulled all this lot outand after its been stripedsome before and after picsold motor bike exhaust and new cherry bombchopped out a bit of rust and patched it upA/C beforeand after its pulled outpic of the old tiny intercooler next to the newly fitted glanza tmicfront mount filterits amazing how similar the zato is to a starlet, they use most the same sencors and things are in the same place as a starletnext plan is to get hold of a tubey manifold of a non turbo starlet gl and chop out 1 of the runner and weld that in to my inlet manifold flange and use the starlet throttle bodie to give the zato a bit mroe torque and help flow the air through the engine a lot more than standard, plan is to to get as much power out of it beofre cranking up the boost or changing the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neilsmith Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 This thing is minted! How much did it cost u if u don't mind me asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superspat Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 didnt cost me just over 1150 and was a bargain, they normaly sell from any from 1800 to 3000 depending on what vertion you get as daihatsu imported 80 for the uk raods and they were 4wheel drive running a 4cylinder engine but mine is the jdm version and is lighter and fwd and running the more tuneable 3cyl 12v enginethere si not enough room a 4e in there but a jb-det out of charade gtti looks like it would fit but i got a spare engine for it with very very low miliage out of a auto sat in garage along wiht a full engine rebuild kit and 1.5mm steel headgasket Quote Link to post Share on other sites

superspat Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 that would be waste as its so much fun to drive, 0.8 bar of boost by 2k is way to much fun to waste Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Looks very smart dude, i like where this build is headed, always wanted a jap kei car. A suzuki alto works 4wd turbo would do nicely, or this.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pockrockgtti Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 woops yep your rite, still tryingto get my head round all the diffrent small turbo engines, dotn the gttis come with a cb 90??No. Uk spec GTti generally have a CB-80, imported GTti's or GTxx come with a CB-70. The CB-90 is a Non turbo 1litre 3 cyl engine with fuel injection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
