Daihatsu Charade GT-ti
Was wondering if these were any good for what they are. i just want a cheap to insure fairly nippy turbo car.
Anyone know what cc the turbos were available in as ive seen alot of 993s 3 cyl 6 valves but i heard about a DOHC 12v?
Cheers

the Gtti turbo is a 993cc 3 cyl 12v twin cam intercooled turbo which is around 100 bhp iirc 
there was another turbo charade which was shite!
the gtti is the one to go for if you can find a decent one these days

Pretty quick from what I can remember, mate was in his (std) RST and he had a job keeping up on the twisties 
(and he could peddle!) many years ago, but oh so funny at the time.

My ex girlfriends still got one, had it about 8 years now, on a K plate in metallic black, 2nd owner..
Car used to be a propper little pocket rocket, especially if you nip the boost up a bit..
i just think theyre brilliant.. 993cc and 100bhp and fag packet weight
crazy ass japs
can pick one up for about a grand tbh now

Great little car. I driven one. VERY VERY Lightweight, motorcycle-like engine. Can be tuned to about 160-180bhp for sensible money. Hard to get parts for those this days though and body rots like hell. Even Fords don't rot like that.
