    Show us what ya got!

    Seeing I've already opened this can... lets torq...talk :)

    After doing my K3-VET, L700 conversion, I'm convinced that Daihatsu are mad for not offering this as a 'sports' option in the Kei car chassis platforms, at least for export.
    The VET puts out just shy of 180Nm in stock form.. much more does tend to do this --> https://photos.app.goo.gl/Fhx15bDPSyW3AzBq8 <-- to the factory gears though :D

    aaand go!

    And it’s 188 Nm in my MX-5.

    p.s. at 60, I’m just into the beer these days.

    Reflecting on 25 years of marriage, I wish I’d spent more time in the garage too.
