It’s adorable, but I've driven kei trucks while overseas. It's incredibly unnerving to know that any collision will immediately result in the loss of your legs...

I've had this mania for a while now myself.. ever since the first time I was looking at kei cars on Duncan imports site an realized there were kei trucks, kei Van's, even kei firetrucks. Ever since, I've really wanted one (or more), even though I have zero use for one..

Th e guys at Hoonigan just did some pretty wild stuff with one of these. It’s 13b swapped and has a one-off Rocketbunny kit on it. Maybe not to everyone’s taste, but I like it.

Kinja'd!!!

That is absolutely hilarious. Personally I’d keep the 13b but stick with OEM looks to really surprise people.

Okay.... Maybe some custom wheels. 12" TE37's would be pretty good

I do love these little boogers. Sure wouldn't want to be in a crash in one though!

Yep, I need it.

Yeah, this is the main reason that, as much as I fantasize about it, I’ll probably never import a JDM vehicle. Losing 25 years of safety tech is too much for my risk- averse ass.

I drove our Mini to work today and can confirm that small cars make everything better.

Isn’t it? I just want to drive through n eighborhoods on a warm sunny day at 5mph with the back full of puppies

I get scared taking my Studebaker out on the road-- and I once put 30k miles on a motorcycle in one year. Guess I'm old now.

I will be looking for a second car/beater before next winter and these are just so tempting!

If you get snow...

I reccomend beater Miata

It’s really crazy how much you completely ignore that whole fragility of life thing when you’re young.

I've always wanted a kei truck, I just have so many different interests it's hard to pick one and buy it. I'm a Mazda guy though so I want a scrum.

Tristan > Future Heap Owner

What’s really crazy is the fact that I somehow survived my youth.

AdverseMartyr > AestheticsInMotion
04/19/2019 at 08:35

That may be a bit too much for the engine if you have it fully loaded with puppies ;P

Haha you wouldn’t be the first. I don’t really want 2 roadsters though. I mean I do, but could use something different for a second car. Was thinking about a Mazda b series truck or a Subaru.

Want my old rusty miata? Its free if you come get it, will not include an engine and various other missing parts lol.

04/24/2019 at 16:25

Haha tempting. I’ll just tow it back to North Carolina lol. I was wondering what became of your old Miata tho.

I still have it, just working on taking parts from it that I need to track prep the new one. Then I plan on removing the engine at some point and rebuilding it for “future use”. I will probably try to sell the 6spd trans and LSD along with any other bits that might be worth something like the sport brakes and maybe some other bits. Then the shell was going to be scrapped and I might keep some interior bits or whatever as replacement parts since both cars are exactly the same anyways. For now its just a parts car basically. Unless I find someone that wants my piece of shit shell and comes to retrieve it.

That’s a good plan. Funny how p arts are worth more than the car. I’d drop a six speed in mine at some point if I have the extra money. New car still looking like a good choice??

04/24/2019 at 17:27

Why would you intentionally want the six speed? Unless you were doing a crazy high power turbo build and already broke a 5 speed. This trans definitely is a clear winner to me already.

Havent found anything to suggest otherwise with this car! Im unsure if I have solved the misfire but havent gotten the code back yet in about 100 miles and it seems to run better. Still vibrates quite a bit at idle but that could just be motor mounts. Runs perfectly when beating on it so I can’t forsee why something would be wrong.

Well I’m not entirely sure I want the 6 speed I guess , but I would assuming they are better geared. The 5 speed isn’t bad, just find myself wanting one more gear as the 5 speed is geared pretty tightly which is good, but 5 th gear is s itting around 4-5k at highway speeds.

Glad she’s working out for you!

Wrong Wheel Drive (41%) > mXxxxXm24 /O/ /O/
04/24/2019 at 18:18

Nope, the 6 speed is definitely worse-geared! The 5 speed in 5th gear is actually spinning fewer rpms than the 6 speed in 6th gear at the same speed. So its not any better for sure. Although I believe the diffs used are slightly different so the final ratio is more similar.

Well damn. Then scratch the 6 speed, not that it was very high on my priority list anyways. There’s a lot more necessary things to throw my money at for now
