The bushing actually goes inside the metal pin thats in the assembly. Its easier to order an entire assembly from Japan.

Mine was feeding.then stopped feeding.i found the wire bunched up inside by the spool...seems it's broke where inside the cable..I cant pull it out from the rip. It's jammed like it welded itself inside sheathing.

Thank you for this video. Easily the most informative video I've seen yet on the most popular JDM Kei trucks.

how vunarlnera is the suburr engine to being damaged from backing into something like a stump or rock when using it off road?

dang, same issue on my Lincoln 140. ws ready to toss in the trash. gonna try this and see.Update: WELP, I fixed it and glad I did . when it wouldn't work I started shopping for a new welder. Glad this old workhouse still runs!! thank you! Took about 30 minutes. take pictures before you disassemble

You mention the best for driving around but which one is best for camping or a small farm

Ive got a 92 Trans Am, bought new. This platform is just fantastic.

What an awesome car. The GM mpfi 2.8 V6 was a great engine and sounded great.

Those seats are HORRENDOUS

Totally disagree. I am not 6'4", so I don't care how much room such persons need. The simple fact is that the Honda is the best built, the best looking, and importantly the best equipped of the Kei trucks. Most of the other vehicles you will see are clapped out work trucks. Far more Hondas were used for carrying passengers, and had more options, and less mistreated. More of them have A/C. The parts support both through Honda, and the aftermarket is superior. Honda still services it's Kei trucks through the parts network. There are more Hondas out there. The mid engine, and Honda's full time AWD make it unstopable here in the Northeast. And, sorry to repeat, but the construction, engineering and materials of a Honda are better than it's competitors. Aftermarket? Unless you have a Honda, there is no aftermarket. While the Honda is not fast, none of them are. The half a Goldwing 3 cylinder will make power at high rpm, and frankly, you learn to work with it. A fullu upholstered interior and real A/C make it an easy choice. And BTW, the Honda van will easily take a six foot plus driver. The Honda is the other choice, and superchargers are out there- in vans, but I'll be darned if Subies aren't the ugliest of all the Kei vehicles- just like their road cars. Hey, everyone has an opinion, and I'm just pointing out that depending on your circumstances and priorities, the competition can come out quite differently. I've been driving an Acty Street G van with 5 speed, AWD and A/C for 5 years now, and I just love it. Bulletproof, at least once you get the carburetor sorted out. Hold out for fuel injection and power steering. With upgraded wheels and passenger car radials, the street behavior of the Honda is outstanding. Oh, and you didn't mention that when you share a cab with the engine, the smell and heat are your constant companion.

designed by Pinin farina then spoiled by the federal govt with those awful bumpers an the lack of the headlight covers then you have awful seats high ride height . yes they rust but they all do

I miss my 84, never had as much fun with any other car.

great video, I love my 1986

Thanks for this I just got a 55k mi 328 in great condition I do my own maintenance on my cars An 81 Delorean And 78 corvette

Whatcha know about ag cart?

Thanks for fixing my Aussie Car in your "No Dash Lights working" video

It says on WickedPedia that Sambars with automatic transmission built after October 1995 do no longer have the ECVT, but a regular 3-speed automatic instead. So for those that are lucky to not have the restriction of a JDM import being 25 years or older (just another benefit of being in Canada), or can find one that is built after they stopped using the ECVT in 1995....

Good video

You showed not a single step of removing the wire feed motor! I fixed it in spite of your worthless video.

great video, did not mention rear engine is quieter and cooler in cabin

When I hit the horn on my 1975 the horn relay pings but horn doesn't work.I replaced relay but same thing.any ideas?

Ironically I bought this defender in this video it was a spontaneous purchase and I didn’t even know what I was buying. And then I was doing my research and I noticed that all the stickers on the defender are the stickers that are on the defender I purchased. Now I’m trying to figure out how to sell it because I purchased it for my 16 year-old daughter who doesn’t want it, but I know it’s special, any advice would be great

thanks for sharing your thoughts.. i have a question tho, the Subaru is a real 4wd or AWD? does it have a low transfer case? difff lock?

Man I really appreciate the video bro! You helped me make my decision- I was gonna go for Honda due to the longevity of their engines, but I’m goin for a Subaru sambar now!

Great review. Bought my 99 C4 January this year. Had the IMs bearing done and some other sensible stuff. Love it. All you said is so true. They will go up as people realise how great they are and air cooled are just to Darn expensive

If I find one, the only one for me is the Honda truck.

The E07A engine in the Beat is a SOHC 12 valve design. Not twin cam like the F6A/K6A.

Nice video. Top place for me is the F6 660cc Suzuki Carry/Every in terms of ease of maintenance and abundance of parts. Trucks and vans are driven daily and are used as workhorses in my country. You could not buy kei trucks brand new in our country as well. They are JDM surplus units. I seldom see Daihatsus, Mitsubishi, Hondas and the Subaru kei truck is a unicorn. Also wanted to share that there is a Mazda rebadge for Suzuki called Autozam. My first ride is an Autozam dropside pickup kei truck. I had lots of fun with it. Greetings from the Philippines.

Daihatsu copen is better than them all we have had them in uk Spec with either the kei 660Turbo but for some reason Uk copens have 69bhp & also the non kei 1300cc. They have electric folding roof leather heated seats , cruise control.electric windows , airbags etc from.02 to 2012 .The mk2 from 2012 has everything but with fabric electric convertible roof. The Honda S660 is probably the best but they are imports as we don't have restrictions a lot are now here oldest been 2015. So Canadians can import Daihatsu copen mk1s now for earlier cars America still has 3 years.& 2040 before the Honda S660 which in the UK start about £14000 as there's that many now why go to the expense of importing 1. Regarding the Suzuki cappuccino it was sold from Brand new in the UK in kei spec from 91 to 95.

I had one for 14 years!

My Mitsubishi had 12 inch wheels, it revved to high in 5 gear, i found 14 inch wheels from an old Kia or Toyota at the junkyard, with lower profile tires, they fit, it made a huge difference in RPM on the hiway

i have been looking for a few years now but not to hard because Texas said no to making them street legal. but now Texas changed its mind and says ok. so i have started looking hard and so far the sambar is my number one pick. and the hi jet if my 2nd choice. and my only requirement it has to have A/C

76 C3. My temp gauge works but bounces all over the place. Itll pause for a second on the correct temp, then start bouncing everwhere again. Not sure if its the actual gauge or something is grounding or what. Car sat for 21 yrs. I pulled the motor to refreshen everthing up. My father owned the car before me and he said it worked fine before. I checked the connectiin at the sensor and it all looks fine. Not sure where to go from this point.

Your analysis is spot on. I have a 0:13 77 C3 and while it's been a major pain at times like the multifunction turn signal switch unique to 77. But at the end of the day e everyone loves it as much as I do. This is my 4th vette, had a new 95, 89 convertible and a junk 82 crossfire. The 95 was a great car. Set the cruise at 100mph and still got 24 miles per gallon in 6th gear. Bur the C3 style is a classic corvette to me with high fenders and shark like looks even though it drives like a truck lol. The drive train is absolutely bullet proof as you put it. The most dependable car I've owned. Sits for a long time and has never let me down. But it is a labor of love to be sure.

There really wasn't ever a debate about what constitutes a "real Porsche". The only people that ever said X or Y wasn't a "real Porsche" were the butt hurt 911 owners. It's simple, if Porsche slapped it's badge on it and you can drive it, it's a "Real Porsche". The same argument continues to be made to this day by the same exact moronic group of people but now it's the Cayman/Boxster etc. Basically they don't like the idea that someone on a normal income can become a member of the "Porsche Club" without having to spend 150k+. Sure, there are a few people who argue based on the drivel spewed by elitists but these are the same people that would say and do anything just to be a part of something that makes them look cool. In other words, the idiots that view a Porsche 911 and up (price wise) as a status symbol are the ones that say anything on the more budget friendly side are "not the real deal". A true Porsche enthusiast would never dismiss the most interesting models ever produced. The 914, Boxster (and it's derivatives) and even the Cayenne (not a particular fan of these) all have interesting development stories and engineering behind them. Anyone who has ever actually driven a 914, Boxster etc knows they are Porsche through and through. The 914 feels like a perfectly refined, updated 356 with better handling. The rumble of the boxer 4 right behind you and the characteristic slope of the front trunk all scream Porsche. Honestly, outside of racing I would have to say the 914 is my favorite classic Porsche. An absolute joy to drive swiftly to coin Jay Leno. You don't drive a 914 to get from A to B, you drive it to enjoy it so who cares how long it takes to get there. Apologies for my strong wording but I have 0 tolerance for elitist collectors, particularly the type that think money makes up for stupidity. Some of the arguments I have heard/read in favor of NARP are absolutely moronic and they are almost always made by wannabe collectors trying to artificially inflate the value of their own collections. A true collector will talk smack about any car, until they have pushed the price down and bought it, then the tune changes ;) The 914 goes from "a VW with a Porsche badge" to "a fascinating piece of Porsche history" with the exchange of a title. NARP also shouldn't be confused with NATP. Not a True Porsche stems from the 928, 944 etc not being rear/rear mid engined, they were a departure from traditional Porsche design. Those that said they were not real Porsches fell into NARP camp, most simply felt they were too far of a departure from the ethos of the Porsche brand at the time. Still great cars and certainly real Porsches.

Junk cars/....like all Italian cars of this era

If you have to do that much research on a old vette don't buy it its just a old fiberglass car not a brand new corvette

Hey, nice video, but I got a better tip. When this happens on my Lincoln welder, switch power settings and try before doing anything else. Why? I have no clue, but it works. Something in the control board locks up I guess, and to reset it, switch power settings and play with the wire feed speed. It has worked on my welder numerous times. Annoying to say the least

Major mistakes here. The Car Guru says any oil filter will work. Not true! There are only three oil filters that will work on 308/328's. There is also a trick to minimize or eliminate oil spillage when removing the filter. Obviously, he doesn't know it. Make sure you get your advise from a professional.

This is the most informative video I've seen on these. Thank you for making it!

Anybody ever thought of making little MG type sports cars using the mechanicals? 2 seat roadster with fiberglass body over a tube steel chassis.....hmmmm

4:33 Thank you for your help. I was having the same problem with the gearbox, but i took some channellocks and just broke it loose. However, saying that you've done it the correct way. In my case, it's always an emergency weld. So I got to play with it and there you have it. As you said, always, check the selector it has to be right on target. On a on a weld pack one hundred

Good morning, I ordered a Subaru Sambar a week ago from Japan. It will arrive in August. I like you video so have subscribed to stay connected.

Good morning CCG, a wonderful and honest video on the 1982 Corvette. Thank you ! I owned a 1982 Corvette with the two-tone paint job and I loved it very much. I too did not mind the cross-fire injection. In the years I owned it I never had a problem. A very good ride and cruising car. I own a newer Corvette now and honestly will be looking for another 1982 in the near future. Thank you again for this wonderful video my friend. This is the best one I have seen on the cool '82.

Wow best place for info on learning about Kei trucks without any knowledge, I looked around a few sites in an hour and videos but nothing came close to your info. Thanks for the detailed video with very clear way of picking what I need and want out of a Kei truck and if it was something that could work for me.

The driving position would be better with the original deep dish steering wheel. You seem to be at full stretch on this one. Those 5 mph bumpers are very heavy - nearly 100 pounds each. Removing them will improve performance in every respect. The other end of the gear lever directly moves the shift forks. There is no linkage, which gives a great, positive feel. Spica fuel injection is great - fully timed, a throttle for each cylinder, easy to adjust and tune, low maintenance. A Spica twin cam is one of the best engines ever made from the 'easy maintenance' perspective. .

I may have to try this on my '78 Lincoln Town Car.

Thanks for this, good information.

Sambar is the GOAT

Fun cars to drive. Have my 91 since new.
