The Daihatsu Mira Gino is a very small hatchback with a retro design from Japan. The first generation was sold from 1999-2004 and came with either a naturally aspirated or turbocharged 659 cc inline-three. Nozomu Yamamoto however has taken his Mira Gino and swapped the inline-three for a 1.8 L Mazda BP inline-four. As you can see from the photos the hood needed major modification to fit the larger engine. The car is now RWD and rides on a custom coilover suspension and modified chassis.
