Hey everyone, been a long time user of the forum but hadnt gotten around to making an account yet. I own 3 Daihatsu’s, a 88’ Charade, 94’ Charade and the most recent addition just today a 95’ Applause.
I will try to find some pics of them to put up in the comments.
Fun fact:
Did you know Daihatsu is actually the performance division of Toyota? 
Welcome to being an official forum member Clancy.
Not sure where you got the info of Daihatsu being the performance division. I disagree
Thank you, the performance division part was a joke! lol It couldnt be more the opposite
G’day Clancy !
I’ve owned a ‘96 Applause since 1997, which still runs like a Japanese clock.
BUT, if you ever figure out how to remove the glove box or where to find the wiper motor relay on your Applause, let me know ! After 27 years, I still can’t ! See the tech question page in this forum.

Haha my mistake but got me. lol I thought wtf has this guy been smoking haha.
Your chazza’s are they 3 or 4 bangers?
Daihatsu and Toyota though related are very separate these days. From my reading Daihatsu news bulletins they found it more cost effective to stop using the Toyota parts bin to instead make everything in house “just as they need it”. That way they can have the smaller size parts ie, a kei car alternator can be smaller and better packaged than using one from a Aygo which is prob from a Corolla.
