Sirion AWD conversion/ autocross build

@Rallynrace I can send you the file for the moulds if you wanna have a crack at casting them yourself.

I could also do a set for you cover the material and postage cost.

I plan to uninstall them at some point and inspect how they are going, but so far it’s looking good.

@Mick You are a Daihatsu legend! What a great topic to read from the beginning, well done and congratulations on all your work that’s paid off in your races!

Love all the effort you have put into this build but what I love more is the dedication you’ve put into the Daihatsu. Especially recently making these bushes, love it man, great effort. It’s great inspiration for me to learn more and make more, you can never learn enough!:grinning:

Keep up the fantastic work :grinning:

[quote=]…Now I am on the hunt for some trailing arm bushes or complete trailing arms…[/quote]Why? Those look to be still in good shape :hushed:

I could sell you my complete rear trailing arms. I will be building a custom four link during winter and I’ll be selling off some of my stuff. My springs and shocks, trailing arms, and a few other bits and pieces will be up for grabs.

So how was the winter?

Unfortunately not very productive. Started a new job and haven’t had a lot of time :frowning:

I have been thinking about building a cuore, but who knows what the future holds…

I would love to see you build a cuore. :slight_smile:

I would love to see him build any car… :star_struck:

(Secretly I’m hoping for a m300 so that I can “steal” his ideas :wink: )

A sad day in the Daihatsu community, but maybe a good day for someone else.

Moving on to bigger and better (smaller and daihatsu related) things :grin:

Bigger yet smaller… sounds like a swapped Cuore :grin:. Sad to see the Sirion go, you really made something of that car. I’m curious to see what you will be doing next! Will you keep documenting it?
