In this episode, I'll show you all around an excellent example of the tiny kei car hot rods that roamed the roads of Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. The pint-sized pocket rockets of this era were loaded with performance oriented features and innovations aimed at delivering an exhilarating driving experience at a reasonable price and with a small footprint.

People with a 34 inch inseam and shorter would fit just fine in it. My legs are longer than that, and I still fit. No trouble driving it. Was not expecting that low end torque. It's somewhat alien to experience it in something this small and light. There are just some things that Mitsubishi got 100% right in the '90s. It's because of those years that I'll always be a fan. I hope you can continue to highlight other hidden gems on their lot. Thanks again Duncan... and Mitch... I mean Tom...

@Power 2 Weight Too long. The Elantra put me in sort of a quandary. Neither the Colt nor the GSX will be a stock build. The info in those videos will help people less than the stock parts build that went into the Elantra. The Elantra more closely resembles the parts and challenges that most people would be standing over. That's why I did that one first. I don't regret it. I think it's a good study, and it's such a pile that it gave us lots of great troubleshooting info. I'm facing some other real challenges right now with things that happen to cars that sit as a result, but 2019 is all about fixing all of those things and moving the ball. I've been hoarding parts and tools during this time working on my garage and production tools to get ready for what's next. You'll still see the Elantra, but hopefully only on the dyno and likely several videos of it breaking its own records. I've got good plans for that one while the GSX gets built.

To be clear, the Kei car has been a staple of the Japanese domestic market since 1949. You can read more about it here (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car). The short-lived thing Tom's talking about is the hot hatch era of the 80's where JDM marquee were testing the boundaries of performance in a decidedly nonperformant segment. It's all very 80's. Many manufacturers still build performance versions of various Kei lines to this day, so it never really went away.

I hired a Ford Tarus with a manual gearbox, my American colleagues were amazed when I turned up, 1) for driving a manual and 2) for driving at all! 😁 Little did they know that I had been driving around Europe for years in rentals, so had plenty of experience 😁
