When it comes to choosing a car for drift duties one of the last makers on the list would be Daihatsu. But last year, while I was visiting 'drift heaven' (Ebisu Spring Drift Festival), I found a very rare and very beat up Daihatsu drifter. The car was a Charmant. Never heard of it? Neither have many other people. Based on the Toyota Corolla platform, the original 1500cc engine had been replaced with a Toyota 1600cc 20 valve 4AGE. There was more unusualness in the cabin with a Recaro baby seat.
