Hello again, 2 years ago I sold my L700 with K3VE2 swap and bought a BMW 330i to use on track days and the Nürburgring, but I always missed my L7. That’s why I wanted it back, but at the end I didn’t wanted to pay the price the new owner wanted for it. But I didn’t wanted to do the swap again.
After thinking my options a little bit (few hours) I thought on my ex Charade G100 1.3 that I used to have when I lived in Chile. That was a great car with good handling. I asked in a Daihatsu WhatsApp group if someone knew of one of these for sale and immediately I was given the contact from someone who had one for sale (thanks to Leo, also on this forum). It was the right engine, with manual gearbox (was auto) and 2 doors. 1 day later I bought it for 500€, without Tüv.
A few weeks later I picked it up and sorted out some issues (mainly rust, but not that bad) and it has now Tüv. That was my first goal.
Now that it has Tüv, I bought some 7x14 wheels (AC Schnitzer) with et25 and make them to get in. I’m going with 185/55r14 semi slicks for the track. For the street some 15’s.
Tomorrow I’m going to install the new suspension. As I live in Germany it’s a bit complicated with coilovers and legality, that’s why I bought KYB shocks and H&R springs.
The idea is to find a good HD engine and port the head, an aggressive camshaft and some other bits. In 1 month I moving out to a house where I could work on the engine.
I will be very grateful for suggestions and ideas or advice.
Now some pics to get this thing moving
