Hi guys, first post in a while for me here... i thinks.. i am also considering taking on this project, after alot of digging around online i have found complete replacement poly bushings for the charmant, other suspension components and the likes, i currently have a 4A-C engine in there and the only thing that was done to the car was KYB shocks over the standard shocks in the rear... I'm not sure what model shocks since i never bothered to look em up, and the car was converted from an automatic to manual on what i think is a T50 gearbox, does anyone know where and what the markings on the gearbox are so that i can confirm?, currently on standard ride height with 15" 195 tires. Recently changed out the Rad fan by force :) now i have a Mishimoto 14" fan and thats about all the goodies she has got. Unfortunately for me i am mind bent on doing this project propper by restoring the body and suspension before the engine is swapped. Over here Charmant parts arnt so hard to find but its somewhat pricy for a 23+ year old car. Silly me i forgot to ask, can anyone recommend or... would recommend rear disc brakes over the standard drum setup?, have heard that the Toyota Cressedia rear axel/disc brakes will work as most toyota rear wheel drive cars tend to be similar.

I'm a whole 2 years late to this site and thread lol, i am also from trinidad and i am doing some research as to what needs to be done to fix an S14 SR20DE (VCT) into a Daihatsu Charmant, its my dream project that i would like to start some time this year if my pay allows it, i love the AE86 corolla and the closest thing to it that is available here is the KE70 and the Charmant, was considering placing a 16V 4AGE in but over here the price tag on that and an SR20DE dosent favor the 4AGE in any way, why pay xxxx for a 1.6 when you can pay the same for a 2.0 :( . Either way would love to get some insight as to suspension work..... intend on replacing bushings with ENERGY SUSPENSION BUSHING KIT replacements.... the engine bay i am not sure as to the complications putting the SR20DE in... thinking i need a stronger rear end, charmant diffs don't do all so well when adding twice the power... so i have heard, thinking RPS13 or SILVIA rear end, how does that sound?
