BEHOLD!!



A 1999 Matiz, 0.8 liter, 3 cylinder making 50 Horsepower and 51 Ft Lbs of torque! Definitely the smallest car I've ever owned, and one that I paid the most for (just under $900).



Drives nice, handles pretty good, has aircon - The only issue was two torn boots on the rack (inner tie rods) but no noticeable wear on the joint.



Its got some bumps and scrapes here and there, but that is typical of Korean cars.



75,000 K and a 5 spd, tinted windows too!

 

This may be the alcohol talking, but that is freaking awesome!



Needs a turbo, some LED turn signal lights in hyper yellow,and she's golden.

 

Hell yes! How does the 3 cyl perform/sound? Daewoos are really interesting to me but I've never had the chance to drive a Matiz.

 

Well, I don't want to modify it TOO much, as I plan on selling it when I leave - But I do want to put bright LED strips on the bottom of the bumper!



It doesn't like hills, and the idle of a 3 pot is a little harsh, and almost sounds like a 4 cyl running on 3 cyls, probably due to the imbalance of the crank. It seems to get its power at the top end, and it sounds like a revvy motor - There is no tach so I have no idea how hard I am pushing it.



It will be hard to find a 3 cyl tach...

 

Awesome! You could possibly use a 6 cyl tach then use a signal converter on that, other than that, ebay dat shiz. You should put up some videos man, I'm curious as to how it performs/sounds.

 

I was also thinking that... Yeah, I'll take some vids when I actually get the car (deposit only for now)

 

That seems like a winner, price and fuel economy wise. It doesn't look too bad, either. Good find

 

Get a 6 cyl tach, and re-scale the gauge front. Cheap and easy!

 

Might look for a different cluster that comes with a tach. That would be my first attempt.



Not bad at all.



Time for a 4G63T.

 

Ahem! I think you mean C20LET. Lets keep it all within family here.
