In this tutorial I will be replacing the single din radio in my first generation Daihatsu Copen with a double din radio. I will also be installing the XA-NV400 navigation module. Step 1 - Remove trim Open the glove box and push the top corner out as shown in the picture, then use something thin to pry around the edges. There are 2 clips at the top, 2 in the middle and 2 at the bottom. Be very careful with the bottom 2 as those ones are very easy to break.

Hello. This is my 2005 Daihatsu Copen (JDAL880K)(KMVZW, aka UK spec) which I have owned for 2 and a half years now. I have done a review on this car before, but I wanted to elaborate on some things and add some more to what I’ve said in the past. I will first give a brief history on the Copen, then talk about the exterior and gradually make my way to the inside, and then I will end with some sort of conclusion.

Introduction Today I am going to give you a little history lesson about the Suzuki Cappuccino. The Suzuki Cappuccino is a small sports car built for the kei car class in Japan, and is built in Kosai, Shizuoka, Japan. It is well known as being a part of the “ABC” trio, which includes the Autozam AZ-1 (and Suzuki Cara), Honda Beat, and Suzuki Cappuccino. There were a couple of other sports kei cars, but the ABC trio were the three most popular sports kei cars, and they competed against each other in the 90s. The first Cappuccino was shown in 1989.

This is the dash cam I am currently using. It is called the DDPai Mini 2 and it cost me £69.99. It cost about £21 more than dashcam I used to use. Although it costs more, it isn’t necessarily better in all areas…

I really like the looks of this classic Japanese car. I kept it completely stock. Very small and fun to drive. Left completely stock. Completely stock yaris. I felt as though this car has lots of potential… Bone stock Miata. I’m pretty sure you know why I have this. Bone stock DelSol. Very fun to drive. Kinda like a fwd Miata in a way. I really like it. Twongi. Decent to drive, so why not own one. Its also bone stock. Is that a Supra!? Yes, yes it is, and its also bone stock. I really like the looks of this model. Stock Abarth 500.

I have owned Sachihiro the Copen for about 8 months now and I have learnt quite a bit more about him. Here are 5 things I don’t like so much about him. This is gonna be difficult… 1. The roof can become a squeaky rattly boi No convertible is without its faults and the Copen is no exception. The roof is prone to rattling and squeaking and it can get very annoying after a while. Luckily it is a pretty easy fix that just involves tightening up some nuts and bolts and applying some rubber lubricant on the seals.

Suzuki Swift Sport The Suzuki Swift Sport is warm hatchback. The first gen was called the Ignis outside of Japan. I have already talked about the Ignis sport in the previous part of this series, but today I want to talk about the 2nd and 3rd generation of swift sport. The 2ND Gen produced 123hp out of a 1.6l engine and weighed 1,050kg making it a very light car and the 3rd gen made a tiny bit more power (130HP) out of a 1.6L engine and weighed about the same. The swift sport is said to be a very entertaining car to drive and it’s currently on its 4the generation.

Firstly I want to thank you all for giving me 10 Thousand points! It makes me really happy :D So to celebrate here are all of the quirks and features of Sachihiro (さちひろ)【幸広】) my L880K Copen. I have spent a lot more time with Sachihiro since my review of him and although my thoughts on him are still the same, I have found some more quirks.

Yesterday I raced a bunch of sporty kei cars around Suzuka Circuit West Course to see which was the fastest Kei car! The rules and stuff All cars were: •On S1 tires •Default tune •Driven as hard and as best as I possibly could, and I did lots of laps until I could no longer beat my fastest time for that car. •Professional physics •Manual transmission and no assists. •Driven on the same course on the same day •Game was running on my PSVita PCH-1003

This little cutie is my first car and I am really happy to have him and I am really enjoying driving him. His name is Sachihiro (さちひろ) It is a Japanese name that means extreme happiness. I named him that because of the happiness he brought to me and because he is probably the happiest car on UK roads. He was really far away from home and I had to take the train to Liverpool to get him, and then drive him 140 miles back home! I have already drove 230 miles in him since the 22nd of March at the time of typing this. Anyway, the review…

Introduction Today I am going to give you a little history lesson about the Daihatsu Copen. The Daihatsu Copen is a small sports car built for the kei car class in Japan and is built in the Copen factory in Ikeda, Osaka, Japan. The Copen released after the famous “ABC” trio went out of production, there fore it had no direct competitors. It was the first and only sports kei car of the modern era at the time. The first Copen was shown at the 1999 Tokyo motor show, and it was put into production in 2002 and is currently in its second generation.
