Post by BIg StEvE »

Hey daihatsu forum,

I'm not usually in this neck of the woods but was wondering how many of you guys and gals own F20's. I have a mate that owns one and am trying to convince him to modify it. If you have any pics can you post em up for me!

thanks all! :D

Hey Big Steve, I think I'm the only F20 owner on this site. What did your mate want to know?

I've got plenty of pics of my rig during the buildup over the years, when I get on the other machine I can scan some more and post em up for you.
