It’s old, very slow, & stinky. I really need it.

WRX STI swap it.

Like, just put the engine & AWD system in backwards with shortened driveshafts all around. It’ll be like a tiny Porsche 911 Turbo.

Who cares if it’s slow! Think of the fun factor and the smiles per gallon! Plus, any speed will feel like like speed! DOOOO EEEEETTTT!

It looks in great shape, 2 strokes are usually pretty easy to get running after a long sit....no water to rust anything out on the inside. Parts are still available for them, and there are people who love these things. There’s a fellow on Youtube called 2StrokeTurbo somewhere in Oregan (I think?) that owns like 3 Subaru 360 vans of this vintage and another 2 or 3 cars like this one! I bet he would be more than happy to help via email! He’s got a LOT of info on them on his channel, check it out!

He’s also big into the Microcar scene, so I bet he knows where to get parts, etc as well! $5500 seems a steal for the shape it’s in!

The price is a little high for a non-runner, but it looks complete. If it were $3500 it’d be an ok deal.

They’re also not as slow as that. Consumer Reports road test is flawed, probably by a car with a faulty distributor advance, given their car was slow and burned up way more gas than normal. I had the same issue with my 360, until I figured out what was going on and freed up the distributor fly-weights. It had been topping out at around 50mph, and getting about 30mpg. After fixing the distributor it was doing about 65mph, and getting 45mpg.

If Subaru would make a modern car in this style, I’d buy one yesterday :P

Step 1: Buy it.
Step 2: Replace innards with a Chevy Volt battery pack and a pair of Warp 9 DC motors.
Step 3: Do smokey burnouts.
Step 4: Buy new tires.
Step 5: Go to step 3.

Had a 1965 MG Midget as a daily a while back, can confirm. Slow cars feel faster.

They’re designed to handle high RPMs all the time too!

I think the decimal is in the wrong place and should read 375 seconds.

I’ve rebuilt a few 2 stroke snowmobile engines(specifically Suzuki 440cc twins)   , so I’m not new to working on 2 strokes. I’ll gladly work on a 2 stroke, but won’t touch my cars engine.

Keep in mind its $5500CAD so around $4100usd.
