Far too fragile for regular off roading.

Theres one leaking on my driveway if anybody wants to join the Sportrak owners club and likes changing gearboxes.

Pajero is a likely replacement

Ive just spent 6 hours banging mine around cowm quarry so i disagree saw plenty of landys and one rangy broke down though, rangy had snapped rear half shaft, one landy the same and the rest of the landys had bent steering tie bars.

In the dim and distant past there was a Daihatsu section, but it was so infrequently used it got integrated into the 'Not listed' bit of the site.

If there are enough vehicles to warrant putting it back up, then we'll be happy to do it.

And probably for Funteras too.

OK, first dopey question...... I'm told that the rear roof section is removable, is that true and if it is, how does it come apart?

Its very ghostly and echo'y in here, I'm scared on my own, isn't there anyone else to talk to? :shock:

justinmud · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2006, 16:26:07 »

The rear section of the roof does come off but it leaves the rear door whole and it looks silly and there are loads of bolts and screws so its hardly worth the effort, sorry for the lateness of my reply my broadband has been down.

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #14 on:** December 17, 2006, 14:35:57 »

I dont think its worth resurecting the Daihatsu forum, it would appear its visited very infrequently and there's only a couple of us that own them by the looks of it.

:(

Hi all new member today, I just bought my first 4x4 and I am chuffed to bits with it, and guess what, it too is a daihatsu, was after a fourtrak, but settled for its little brother the sportrak, paid just over 300 quid for it and it is in mint condition, with 6 months tax and test!! seems a shame to start abusing it, but jeez thats what they're for and for 300 quid who gives a toss. Bring on the mud!

tonycougar · « **Reply #16 on:** January 07, 2007, 23:55:40 »

And didn't he do well, first venture off road and got stuck on first lane. Good job there was a big landy there to rescue him :lol: :lol: :lol:
Mind you that was with road tyres :lol:

Where's Daihatsu ? how many daihatsu owners do you have as members? Is there not enough demand for a Daihatsu section. I feel left out lol. Theres loads of them on the road and at first glance at Mub Club this might put Daihatsu owners off from joining as they may think that you dont cater for Daihatsu owers?.

Hey justinmud, i have a daihatsu!

Im proud of my old girl. She pulled my 32 ton grab lorry the other day, couldnt't believe it

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #20 on:** January 21, 2007, 02:31:39 »

Rock,

As you can see above, I have a Fourtrak too, but there really isn't very much happening with them at the moment.

I think justinmud has sold his recently, I got mine in November but haven't been out with it yet.

There was a Daihatsu forum but it wasn't used much and got mixed in with the "Not anything Listed" area, It has been said that if there is enough interest it could be re-instated, so keep using it.

Because i might be getting one soon 8)

I would make use of the section having just bought mine, and with regards to breakages, after fitting a new starter to my SJ yesterday, I now have to take the main cog box out to free off another broken release bearing, so in the past year I've bought

4 x mt's (needed to play)
Alternator
Starter Motor
Exhaust
Hood
Clutch (Std)
Clutch (Std)
Clutch (KAP PAddle)
Release Bearing
Release Bearing

To Buy
Release Bearing

Surely Its How You Abuse Them That Counts......

I'm not complaining, I give 125% everytime out and therefore she's heavy on parts.... The 4T will be better looked after, even if its just because all the bits are heavier, don't think I'll have both cog boxes out in 40mins on me back on the drive alone! but I guess I'll find out soon enough....

sorry to ramble on but:

I wish I'd gotten in to this years ago, I'd have saved a fortune on grage bills for other cars!

My lovely wife (incase she reads this) says if its for play, if I break it I must mend it! no garages, obviously working at one helps!

Steven · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2007, 10:31:19 »

I've just relised the Isuzu section is not really that busy :?

So get this section up in running if the Isuzu is there !

Hobnailkelly · « **Reply #25 on:** March 19, 2007, 18:42:16 »

My Range Rover has a Diahatsu 2.8 td in it so can I play here as well?

And does anyone know if it is possible to stick an intercooler on the turbo of a non-intercooled engine - or is there any other trick to getting more power out of it?

Yes i have sold my fourtrack only because my wife is expecting our 4th child, i now have a nissan terrano 2 lwb 7 forward facing seats, keeping it japanese they dont need so much wd40 but im looking for another fourtrack just to use off road, reason for picking fourtrak easy and cheap to lift extend the shackles and do a body lift and your done. or i might get a 90 defender dont know yet or a vit or sj

Popoff · « **Reply #28 on:** June 25, 2007, 21:00:46 »

A Daihatsu section would be very welcome and may encourage more owners to join the club, the problem with it not being used much is down to the fact its not a Land Rover so we donâ€™t constantly need advice putting it right :lol: :lol:

justinmud · « **Reply #29 on:** June 25, 2007, 21:34:34 »

nice one popoff i think we should get our own section the pole speaks for its self 66% of votes 32 people thats enough to open a section for daihatsu owners in my eyes. Ive posted a reply in the questions to see if there going to put daihatsu on or not so we'll see
