500 Mile Roadtrip In The Kei Van! 

Those engines are insane, and can sit at high rpm's for what seems like forever.

I did 8.5 hours in my Acty van yesterday choosing “non highways” usually takes me 4 hours. I was driving from DC to eastern nc

My wife and I drove from Sydney to Adelaide and back via Melbourne and that trip was nearly 3000 klm, our 1980schonda Acty van was the 550cc version. They WILL NOT GET BLOWN OVER, yes you can do a speed like that for ten or twelve hours.

Very informative video about its usefulness on the highway. The way the engine is spinning is similar to riding a small motorcycle on the highway, it gets tiring with the engine screaming. My 94 Corvette is the opposite of that. At 60 in top gear the engine is ticking over just a little bit above idle speed.

I always wondered why Honda acty vans were more popular in the states. I have a 95’ Suzuki every and it’s such a good little car! I really love it!

Love these vans. I see a lot of these in our cit and I really wanna get one myself.

Kei vans are so endearing I love em!

You can go anywhere. Do what I do and start taking all back roads..... So much more fun bro.

2:20 dude had a road beer 😂

Cool video man! I'm looking forward to the Jimny review vid.

This is dope brother! Happy you’re doing what you like to do!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. My favorite part is the MPG.

Here in the U.K. the 'jimney' were named 410/413 rhino/samurai depending on where they were built

My dream mini van.❤

Nando's is dope. Kei vans are dope. Your whole trip is wild. Do your thing brother.

Legendary 🐐

Oh yea man.. that bridge... BQE brother!

i love these funny cars

Made some cup holders for the front on mine out of 3” pvc pipe and a 1/2 “ bolt. Cup holders are a nice thing to have on road trip. I have pictures but can’t get them in the comments. If interested I could email. Happy travels I’ve enjoyed mine for two years now.

over 25+ years ago a friend had the Suzuki Samuri Red hardtop and I drove it. I wish I could find one here from back then. But most ended up scrap!

At least you had company 😂Get an Element 😉😄

My 1990 Subaru Sambar Try XS Supercharge will get 30mpg if I keep the speed at 80kmh. That is typical cruise speed on highway in Japan. Faster doesn't mean you'll get there first. I often pass people on down the highway who passed me previously. At 80kmh my engine turns at 4300rpm. What kills these engines is excess RPMs (spin bearing). The engine must be kept at 'peak tune' to run optimally and efficiently. That means full tune up, timing correct, maintenance up. I'll be driving mine from Renton, Wa. to HB, Ca. (~1370 miles each way) come end of December.

Your Temp gauge should stay half way up to about 5/8ths of the way for normal driving reading. You may need a new thermostat and just a bit low. You are not overheating. :-)

Hopefully as time goes on we will be able to import newer vans that do better on the highway. As far as ive seen it looks like the ones that have supercharged engines do best on highways and some cant even get to highway speeds.

Man watching your videos makes me want to get a kei car 😍

Nice Vid My Man 🤙🏻

yeah heck with PA and their gas prices, 2.80 a gallon here and that's high compared to earlier this year. Do you have to get ultra?

At 1:37 for a whole 2 seconds I literally thought that you were playing with an RC car 😂😂😂

Do u like the mitsubishi mini cab ?

"Four dollars and ten cents which is pretty high..." ::laughs in SoCal gas prices:: Just subscribed, found your channel at random and have been binge watching on the Kei videos. Thanks!

Welcome to Baltimore, bud. Stay safe and check out Mamas on the Half Shell. Great food.

$4 is pretty cheap, uk its about £1.40-£1.50 a liter so these low prices that is $1.90 a liter in usa money it can be over $2 a liter so you guys so lucky to get it at $4 a gallon even tho your usa gallon tad smaller

I own van like this the mid temperature is very normal i drove 400KM + with mid temp it was all okay it stayed there and top a little bit but when the day turn to night the temp come down.

Nice

My uncle used to have a Suzuki Mighty Boy, which is the tiniest little ute haha

Simple questiuon, do all K cars use premium gas vs. regular gas? That can greatly diminish the savings in mileage right?

keep thes up boss

I know this is a old post but if you get a bottle of redline water wetter it will help keep the temperature down

🔥🔥🔥🔥

How the body holding up against the road salt? Such a nice van just to get exposed to the northeast winter and corrosive crap on the roads.

kei vans look cute

Just wondering, how did it work out without seatbelts in the back seat? That's the only thing that stops me from getting one...

What fog lights are on this thing? Look great

Hey whats the dimensionof the van inside with back seat drop ?

I love both but cant decide. kei truck or van?

Great video. How come no meet and greet?

question how do u register ur van in NYC?

Is 93octane is recommended for a 1994 Subaru Sambar??

Why are you using 93 do the kei vans call for it

So, what was the actual fuel miles per gallon?

$4,10 a gallon pretty high? Hahaha, try €2 per liter! That's $7,56 a gallon! The Netherlands at January 2023.

Bro how'd u purchase it? Was it from Japan?

Whats the fuel consumption bud?

I think I should be fine of it being slow and get flying by other cars cause I drive a truck daily and I am used to it. I wanna buy a kei car or van though.

Bro’s complaining about not having cruise control lol damn

So, what is the actual calculated measured fuel economy?

How’s the insurance???

Someone will realize that replacement parts for these types of vehicles will be needed soon. Things like brakes, suspension parts and engine parts. I mean, these vans and trucks are 25 yrs old.

4.10 a gallon thats cheap compared ro Canada its going up to 1.75 a litre or more and a little is just a little smaller than an American quart

162 miles and 7.8 gal is 21 miles per gallon. Wow, that's pretty horrible as mileage :D

...We Never See People Hanging Out of Car Windows In Highway Traffic ...Why Do You Do That?

MPG would be do much better off you were driving 60 mph (100 km/h) and the engine would have less RPM

im pretty sure you can drive the car at high rpm's. Just dont redline the car.

Love your channel bro but I don't know how you like aftermarket steering wheels. For some reason I can't stand them. They just totally ruin the feel of the interior for me. I would way rather the original steering wheel in poor condition than a mint aftermarket steering wheel. I'm good with other mods and parts though. Just a weird quark I have I guess... Keep up the great content!

I think it’s pretty clear AMERICANS WANT KEI CARS. The japanese need to sell us these.

No vid, but first comment....

Are they street legal and do the cops actually care

You need engine swap,

not good on gas! dude small tank .. and driven at 120km .

Worst places to get a cheesesteak from lol

how come american auto company dont to make mini electric mini van like this video... big shame shame shame on american auto company
