Daihatsu Sportrak For Sale

MAGAZINE | SHOP | FORUM | CLASSIFIEDS DAIHATSU SPORTRAK © JAMES TAYLOR Editor: Land Rover Enthusiast Magazine BACKGROUND Although the Sportrak shares many styling cues with the established Fourtrak range, it is actually a very different vehicle with a much shorter wheelbase and no diesel engine option: all Sportraks have been powered by a high-reving petrol engine which first saw service in Daihatsu saloon cars. The Sportrak was Daihatsu's entry into the recreational and image 4x4 market. It was announced towards the end of 1988 and became available early the following year. From the beginning, it was intended as a chic urban runabout with the ability to go off-road occasionally. However, it was bested by the Suzuki Vitara, which offered much more radical styling and looked less like a traditional 4x4. Despite what is probably a better off-road performance than the Vitara, the Sportrak has never had quite the same appeal - which says a lot about the real reasons behind many young buyers' choice of a 4x4. From 1994, a cheaper base model was introduced to improve sales, and a year later an even cheaper entry-level Sportrak Xi was announced. Nevertheless, the Sportrak - a Daihatsu Feroza in Japan and most other markets - did lead the field by being the first 4x4 vehicle ever to have a multi-valve engine (the 1.6-litre petrol engine has four valves per cylinder to give 16 valves in all). It also became the first vehicle to follow the lead set by the Toyota RAV-4, and in Italy and Switzerland its 1995 Feroza Full-time version featured permanent four-wheel drive without a transfer box to give reduction gearing for off-road use. The Sportrak has always had a single basic body style with a rollover bar behind the front seats and a removable cab roof. To this can be added either hard or soft-tops, although the hardtop version has always been more popular in the UK, where soft-tops tend to lose their appeal in the winter months. Character summary The Sportrak was designed as a chic urban 4x4 for young singles or couples without families, everything about it reflecting those design priorities. It is compact, comes only as a three-door, and offers sparkling acceleration and the sort of handling more familiar to the owners of hot hatches. In essence, it is designed as a vehicle to have fun with. Most buyers are far more interested in its looks and the image it conveys than in whatever or not it can actually be driven off the road. The down side to all this is that it is not very good as a long-distance cruiser. The biggest problems are noise (the 16-valve engine can become very thrashy at high speeds) and poor seats (there is insufficient side or lumbar support, particularly for tall drivers). Similarly, load space in the rear is minimal if all the seats are occupied. Above, an early Sportrak EL, and below, later open-top and closed versions of the vehicle in ELX trim, all three indicating the Sportrak's positioning in the recreational as well as the chic urban 4x4 market. Performance summary That the Sportrak appeals to hot hatch drivers new to 4x4s is one of its strengths, and Daihatsu scored a number of sales on the back of that appeal. The vehicle is lively and responsive on the road, accelerating very much faster than most larger family 4x4s. It also corners well with little of the disturbing lean so characteristic of its bigger brothers. The gearchange is positive and slick, with low gearing to mask the torque deficiency of the engine at low revs. However, the ride is hard and unforgiving, the stiff springing (which counters body roll in corners) joining with the short wheelbase to give a ride which is at best uncomfortable. Otherwise good all-round visibility is marred by the spare wheel mounted on the rear door, which can make reversing difficult. Off the road, the Sportrak performs much better than its paper specification suggests. The short wheelbase and minimal overhangs are a help, but the engine must be reved hard to deliver enough torque for hill-climbing. The lack of bottom-end torque also means that engine braking on steep descents does not inspire confidence. Reliability, weaknesses, spares The Sportrak follows the great tradition of all Japanese vehicles by delivering unfailing mechanical reliability. Daihatsu dealers are generally extremely helpful and efficient, but spares can sometimes be pricey because there is little demand for them. Nevertheless, the Sportrak does have a few weaknesses. The early carburettor engines often suffer from acceleration flat spots, a problem which was never fully sorted by Daihatsu and can still give trouble today. The sealing rubbers around the removable hardtop are easily damaged, while the hardtop itself (made of a resin-like material) can crack and is very expensive to replace. The quality of the ride has never been one of the Sportrak's better features, but a particularly bouncy or soft ride may be the result of having the adjustable dampers on the wrong setting: the best thing to do is to set them on 'Medium' and then leave them a one Resale values Even though the Sportrak has begun to look a little dated and the importers a p pear to be struggling to maintain sales, resale values remain firm at the time of writing. As a general rule, hardtops hold their value better than soft-tops, and in this market the better- equipped models are the most sought-after and therefore hold their value best of all.

First built in 1988 the Sportrak and was in production up until early 1999. The Sportrak is a small but nippy 4x4 that was primarily designed for urban use. The Sportrak is suprisingly extremely capable of offroad use. The Sportrak is known in the UK for its Trademark resin removable roof which is normally silver in colour but on the Midnight limited edition it was colourcoded to the same colour as the body which makes the Sportrak Midnight more sought after than some of the other Sportraks. The Sportrak has a 1.6 petrol engine which can do 0-60 in around 11.5 seconds which beats the Vitara by around 2 seconds!

Second generation Sportrak 1990-19911.6 three-door station wagon and soft top [EFi]. Third generation Sportrak 1991-19931.6 three-door station wagon and soft top [EXi, ELXi]. Fourth generation Sportrak 1993-1998 1.6 three-door station wagon [Xi, Xi-SE, EXi, ELXi] BY CLAIRE EVANS If you want to buy a well-built and capable used off-roader, but dont want to pay the premium necessary for vehicles with a Land Rover badge on their bonnet, then you might consider a Daihatsu Sportrak. Priced from £9.995 when new, Daihatsu claimed its Sportrak soft top and station wagon estate line-up represented the bank manager-friendly face of four-wheel drive motoring. On the second-hand market, prices of this obsolete model are very reasonable, thanks to the ever increasing competition from a wide range of car makers. The first Sportrak models were rather basic and utilitarian compared with todays lifestyle machines. But in recent years the 4x4 was freshened up with improved engines and suspension and trim upgrades making it a more appealing proposition. The final range included three models, all powered by identical 1.6-litre 16-valve engines. The flagship ELXi offered wider wheels and tyres under extended arches, as well as an RDS audio system, electric mirrors and luxury interior trim plus power steering and a removable sunroof. However, in its final form the price leader Xi had no rear seats, making it what the importers called a versatile load and people carrier. If you do want to carry more than two people, check youre getting the optional dealer-fit extra row of seats. In comparison, the Xi-SE came with split folding rear seats, central locking, electric windows, additional instrumentation and a Pioneer audio system. Thoughtful touches included interior releases for the fuel flap and tailgate, remote control door mirrors and an immobiliser security system. Popular options were metallic paint, multi-play CD system and leather upholstery. Post-1992 models with fuel injection are a good bet and start at around £500 (1.6 ELi Estate). The later the model, the better the specification, so wed advise buying as new as possible to gain the highest level of equipment. After all a 1996N EXi should only cost around £1,100, while a top spec ELXi of the same year pitches in at about £1,900. Alternatively you could take the late model route after all, the Sportrak only went out of production in 1998 and there are bound to be quite a few low mileage examples around. Expect to pay around £2,000 for a 1998/R Xi-SE or £2,700 for an ELXi. The Sportrak is not quite as tough as it looks and can suffer from body damage, as well as suspension and steering problems due to off-road use. The engine can be temperamental if it hasnt been properly cared for. Parts prices are relatively low for an Oriental make. A clutch assembly for a 1996 1.6 ELXi will cost around £165; shock absorbers (front and rear) should cost around £50; brake pads pitch in at £53 for the front pads and £42 for the rear shoes; a tail lamp costs £50 for the lower section and £68 for the upper part; a headlamp is £63 and a new alternator is around £290. The all-alloy, fuel-injected 94bhp 1.6-litre engine used in all versions certainly makes the Sportrak reasonably lively. Ultimately, it will reach 94mph, though if you choose not to drive it in that manner, the 13.2-gallon fuel tank should enable you to cruise for reasonably long distances between fill-ups. Around 37mpg is possible at a steady 56mph. Sportraks aren't really intended to be really serious off roaders, but having said that, they're a great deal more capable than their contemporary rivals from Toyota and Asia Motors. As usual in 4x4s of this size, the all-wheel drive is selectable, with a choice of high or low ratios. The ride of early cars was awful, though enhancements to the independent front suspension and the leaf-sprung rear beam axle improved on-road comfort without sacrificing off-road ability on the later models. That said, it still isn't a great tarmac car, but it's certainly a great deal more acceptable. Tagged as the affordable face of 4x4 motoring, the more recent versions of the Sportrak are just that. Dont expect car-like levels of refinement on the road, but what you can expect is a sturdy and well-equipped off-roader that even gained rakish good looks in its swansong years.

Hunter User Rating: / 19 Poor Best Dear Mr. Morrison:   Many thanks for speaking with me today about Daihatsu’s efforts to notify all owners of Rocky vehicles about the current evaporative emission control check-valve recall campaign. As I mentioned, I am Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.’s legal representative in the United States for NHTSA and other regulatory and legal matters.   As you know, most of the major automotive enthusiast magazines have by now made mention of the Rocky Check Valve campaign, drawing from the NHTSA official website, located here: http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/recallsearch.cfm. That was filed on February 23 and acknowledged by NHTSA on March 9, 2010.   Copies of the actual Owner Notification (120 KB) and its attached Notice to Service Technicians/Repair Facilities (27 KB) are available on the NHTSA website and on the Daihatsu Help website at http://www.daihatsu-help.com/index.htm. However, many Rocky owners may not utilize those sources of information, or they may be reluctant to download the documents from the NHTSA website. Thus, we would like to make the documents more widely available, especially to anyone who may have unregistered vehicles or out-of-date registration, who may not receive our mailing directly.   Attached is the above-mentioned Owner Notification (120 KB) and its attachment, comprising 5 printed pages. This is being mailed to owners across the nation based on currently-available DMV registration records. Because of limited technical resources and to ensure prompt response as customers present their vehicles for service, we are not notifying all customers at the same time. However, all registered owners will be notified fairly soon.   Vehicles that have not been registered within the past five years are typically deleted from many DMV databases and owners of those vehicles will not receive a mailing. But we want them to have access to the basic materials so they too can benefit from the recall.   We appreciate your cooperation in this campaign to better serve Daihatsu Rocky owners in North America and around the world.   Last Updated ( Sunday, 02 May 2010 21:48 ) Server Crash Saturday, 17 October 2009 00:00 Jonathan Morrison Our hosting provider had a server crash and they moved our site and broke it in doing so.

This is one area where nearly everyone wants to improve on - the endless search for more power !! More HP in your Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak  is pretty easy to do - especially if you can turn a spanner a bit yourself - The secret to getting more performance out of the engine is to improve the efficiency of the air getting in & the air getting out.

The main areas most 4wder's are trying to improve on is Ground Clearance & Wheel Travel & in this section you will find ideas on how to improve both on your Feroza. Read more...

TeraFlex Revolver Shackles are self-supporting and fold against themselves on level ground. Because the shackles are a bolt-on kit, they can be installed easily with aftermarket suspension systems.

Last Updated ( Friday, 25 November 2005 12:32 ) Aftermarket Headers / Extractors Thursday, 20 October 2005 09:31 Jonathan Morrison User Rating: / 1 Poor Best Included are some photos of the Aftermarket Headers you can buy from MRT Performance and Genie Headers . If you own a Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak you are well aware that the stock OEM exhaust manifold has a tendency to crack -- eventually they will all crack. So instead of replacing the thing that broke with another thing that will break, consider spending a couple extra bucks and getting a header / extractor system. At the time of this article was written stock exhaust manifold were $175 USD while MRT Performance were $220 USD and Genie Headers were $288 USD (Refer to manufacturer for pricing; these prices do not include shipping). Why do the original exhaust manifolds break? Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak exhaust manifolds break due to all the stress that is on them since there is no flex joint in the system from the engine all the way back to the tip of the tail pipe. As a result the exhaust manifold bears all that weight. Some might consider this a design flaw :) Read more...

As the diesel model uses a larger battery as standard there seemed hope - and on further investigation this is some unused space. Rather than doing it the easy way I decided to fit the largest battery "easily" possible. Read more...

Last Updated ( Monday, 31 October 2005 15:41 ) Valve Adjustment Monday, 13 June 2005 16:50 1992 Daihatsu Rocky Service Manual User Rating: / 5 Poor Best If your Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak valves aren't adjusted properly you can suffer from one of two things.  (1) The valves are too tight and it will cause them to wear (or burn out) quicker or (2) The valves are too loose and you will experience a loss of power. According to the service manual you should check your valves every 15,000 mi. or every 18 months, which ever comes first. Read more... Last Updated ( Monday, 31 October 2005 14:53 ) Buying a Used Engine Sunday, 12 June 2005 11:56 Jonathan Morrison User Rating: / 5 Poor Best You can purchase used engines for your Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak online from Japan. For a list of vendors click here . Original engines will have an 'HD' on the engine block just behind and below the exhaust manifold. Another common engine used is the Daihatsu Applause, which is almost identical. The only difference between the two is the size of the cam (but not much) so the applause has a bit more upper rpm range grunt. Read more...
