Have I finished welding? Plus unboxing new bits for the Daihatsu Mira trxx turbo project

I think I've managed to weld all of the rusty bits found when the Mira was stripped down. There could be a chance I've missed something but I'll address that if it happens. Had some packages turn up today with some tools and Mira parts too.

I knew the trip to the tuner show was a hint of some aftermarket goodies to come! Cheers!

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

Although the Mira thinks it's a skyline unfortunately not a lot of goodies available. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

daaaaaamn you got the fancy absorber! So jealous..

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

Fancy... maybe 😂. The only shocks I can find that are available at the moment for this car...Yes😂 Thanks for watching

[@bobbycatgt70]

​@@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapanoh boy.. it is quite fancy for a non coilover setup for a Mira. They work rlly well with a rsr spring. I'd like to get one for my kelisa, but it's so expensive and hard to get one compared to a regular kyb shocks 🥲

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

​@@bobbycatgt70 Wow I didn't realise that! Sounds like I've made the right decision on the shocks. I really appreciate the input with this car as it's new territory for me and you sound like you have experience with these things. Thanks again

Pretty Goodyear progress on the mira, good to know that is rust free

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

I think now it's pretty solid little car after the repairs carried out Thanks for watching

I'm probably wrong but I thought that if the aftermarket suspension part has the correct paperwork with it to satisfy the Shaken inspector then it can be legal. Cusco and Dmax are "Shaken legal" providing the paperwork is present. I'd be surprised if RSR didnt have such a thing for their springs since they are such a huge company and offer springs for everything.

Thanks for the comment,Very interesting. You could be right, I hope you are as it would be good news. I would like to do some modifications on this and/or future cars without having vehicle test headaches. Certainly a topic that needs further investigating Thanks for watching

I think you order the wrong rear absorber

[@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan]

That would be bad news. You could be right. I did a visual check on the rear shocks and they do look similar. Let's find out in a future video if they are correct, fingers crossed. Thanks for watching and commenting
