Dec 2003 659cc silver Copen with boost controller,
My bike is a 2016 Suzuki Burgman 300 with Malossi Variator & straight through exhaust.

- Copen Name:

- Copen Purchase Date:

Driving a 2003 model Copen
Mods: It has a large direct air intake,
- 2" straight through exhaust, with 2.5" pipe for echo,
- Real-time engine temp sensor & display,
- Blow-off valve now vents to atmosphere & pipe to turbo
solidly covered.
- Turbosmart manual boost controller,
- Now up to 60k kms (from 45k).
Hopelessly impractical but so worth the effort & many compromises that driving a Copen means, especially now I have my boost controller!
My last 2 cars were also Daihatsus- 2003 model Sirion GTVi with performance mods. Two careless drivers means I now have my baby Copen. With the GTVi's, I found that putting 15kg of sand in the spare tyre well dramatically improved handling. Cheap fix!
No need in the Copen, with nice tyres it handles like it's on rails.Interact

Cheers from Canberra, where it might be 45deg or -6deg depending on season, Brian!
