Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 L512S Transfer Box Oil Filling: A Correction To My Previous Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- When I previously changed the gearbox, transfer case, and rear axle oils on my Daihatsu Cuore Avanzato TR-XX R4 project car, it looks like I made a mistake with how I chose to fill the transfer box, and there's a slightly easier/better way to do it!
The FAQs:
"So this is a Mira, right?"
- Yes, sort of. It is basically identical to the L500 (specifically, the L512S) Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato R4.
"Don't Mighty Car Mods have one of these?"
- Again, sort of. They're a very close relative of the Daihatsu MCM's Marty is a big fan of. The car in their Kei To The City film (and Marty's later conversion project) share much of this car's DNA.
"Didn't Regular Car Reviews drive one of these?"
- Yes! On the RCR UK trip, they drove an almost identical UK-spec Cuore Avanzato. I actually met the owner at the RCR UK meetup. It's actually my Suzuki Cappuccino that they mention in the video about the meet.
"What does Cuore Avanzato even mean, anyway?"
- It's Italian, actually. "Cuore" means "Heart", and "Avanzato" means "Advanced".
"I drove one of these in Gran Turismo, and it said it was front wheel drive, not all wheel drive?"
- They did 2WD/FWD versions of the turbo Miras in Japan, too, the "4" in the name is what denotes the AWD/4WD/4x4 version.
"Is it a kei car?"
- Yes, it meets the kei car regulations, though whether it "counts", being a UK car, is an interesting question.
"Is it JDM?"
- No, it's a UK model, there are some subtle differences/modifications for the UK market, though nothing earth shattering.
"Did they really only make 80 of them?"
- Of the UK road car version, yes, give or take a couple, plus there were about 20 rally-prepared ones. The Japanese equivalent is far more common.
"Is it a 3 cylinder engine?"
- No, it's a 4 cylinder, the Daihatsu JB-JL 16v engine, though it meets the same 660cc capacity limit for kei cars that the three cylinders used elsewhere do.
"Is it turbocharged?"
- Yes, with a small top-mount intercooler.
"How does the AWD work?"
- There is a selectable drive to the rear coming off the gearbox, with a viscous coupling between the rear differential and the propshaft to allow for the difference in wheel speeds when cornering.
"How much does it weigh?"
- 768kg, per the UK original specification sheet.
"Where can I get one?"
- To be perfectly honest, it's a lot easier to find a JDM one as an import than a UK car, but if you keep an eye on Ebay and forums, one might come up.
"Is it for sale?"
- I'm afraid not, no.

Nice to see you again.
That is the neatest little transfer box I have ever seen. Nice Job.
Been waiting for your next video!
Glad your still around I've been waiting
Nice to see new videos :)
Nice! Now you need to find a Sirion M101 4x4 1.3 to fix! Love to see it! I have a M100 Sirion 989cc and I love it!
This series popped up on my recommendations and I watched the whole lot in no time because they were bitesize but now I'm missing waiting on the next video in the series, will there be more??
Wonder what the next project car will be?
Hyeee bro... Nice car... Rare.... i have the same car as yours in malaysia ... mira avanzato r4 (l502) and i have changed this model's gearbox four times due to breakage ... Lol. 😂😂
Hi Dave, any chance you had a leaky passenger floor when it rains? I have a Diahatsu Mira 2008, and every time it rains hard both passenger and driver side floors flood. I checked the cowl top panel for blockage, but it was clean. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
ware u getting parts from im rebuilding a l510 classic one
looking for suspension bushes
Sorry, I'm afraid I've not needed any, so I've not had to look. There's a Facebook page "Daihatsu Mira Avanzato Project", and that guy seems to have done well sourcing parts like that either from Toyota (who own Daihatsu), or from suppliers in Malaysia or Japan.
@@InitialDave it getting pricier over time
What ever happened with this car ?
Still got it!
@@InitialDave Great ! Why no more videos ? :D
@@alexx12566 oh, I just ended up getting more caught up in other things is all.
