In this exhilarating episode of Mighty Car Mods, the intrepid team sets their sights on the humble Daihatsu, determined to unleash its hidden potential. With a visit to the dyno, they enlist the expertise of Scott from Htech to work his magic and extract every ounce of power from the three-cylinder engine. The goal? Reliability and consistent track times. As they delve into the tuning process, they discover that the Daihatsu falls short of their expectations, but they refuse to make excuses for its age. Instead, they push forward, determined to unlock its true capabilities.
Through careful adjustments and fine-tuning, the team manages to achieve a respectable 30 KW at the wheels. This little car may not have the brute force of a high-performance machine, but it holds its own on the track. With its lightweight construction, it feels surprisingly powerful, delivering a thrilling driving experience that belies its modest output. The team's dedication to maximizing performance is evident as they experiment with the intake system, searching for any restrictions that may be holding the Daihatsu back.
With the dyno session complete, it's time to put their creation to the test on the track. The team takes the Daihatsu for a shakedown, and despite not reaching breakneck speeds, they are thoroughly impressed with its performance. The car handles beautifully, with the tires providing excellent grip and the suspension setup proving to be a key factor in its success. It's a testament to the notion that you don't need a monstrous amount of horsepower to have a truly exhilarating driving experience.
As the episode comes to a close, the team reflects on their love for these little Daihatsus, which have played a significant role in the history of Mighty Car Mods. They emphasize the joy and excitement that can be found in working on affordable, lightweight cars and the camaraderie that comes with it. With a tantalizing teaser for an upcoming reveal on Christmas day, the team leaves us eagerly anticipating the next chapter in their automotive adventures.
