Sweet looking van. I saw an Acty a few weeks ago. Someone working in Gig Harbor, Washington, where I live, owns one. Chrysler called their Caravan, Voyager, "minivans", well, this makes their vans look like full-sized vans by comparison.

Cool to see. I have a 92. Did not know about the crotch vents. So easy to work on too! I'm 6'3" and it drives fine, though I have the automatic - so no clutch to deal with.

NICE acty man. I want a Townace or hiace camper. Hell I'd settle for a delica in good shape to sit in the garage with mini.

I love watching these tours of yours and these little vans. I wanted to comment with a guess that the bar behind the front seats is possibly a rollercoaster bar (‘oh shit handle’) for the back passengers. Only because you mention the lack of seat belts. Not sure if that is the case but that is what my gut is telling me.

Thanks for doing this video on your Honda! I’m looking to buy one myself. I’ve often wondered about availability of parts. I’m the Parts Manager in a US Honda dealer and we can’t look up non-US models on our catalogue. It’s good to know that parts are relatively easy to obtain. Have you done a timing belt or any other engine work to yours yet?

It's been quite a long time since I've this van, who knows where it is now. However, like most things, I've learned more about JDM cars in the USA in general from when I made this video 3~ years ago. Find the complete diagram for whatever Acty you are going to get on partsouq.com/. This is the better place to find part numbers for things you need. You can order parts from here directly if they are available, nobody is quicker to ship than these guys. Downside is they tend to not have a lot of inventory. For parts they don't have I would use www.amayama.com/en or www.megazip.net/ for whatever has the better price. Time to get your parts will average around 2~ weeks, always extremely well-packed and exactly what I've ordered. I have not done a timing belt on an Acty, though I have a Honda Beat coming shortly with the original timing belt still on it so I will be changing that. An Acty should be relatively simple. Avoid US-based importers for finding parts, they gotta make money and the costs tend to go way higher than needed for simple parts.

Great video, awsome little car! dont understand why these are only popular in japan, they are so smart efficient and practical. I think its because ppl are stuck ups and only feel nice about themself driver their sports cars feeling superior like the NSX guy. and lets be honest, as means of transportation, sports cars are incredibly dumb, i mean, i like them too, they are just not efficient at anything.

Could you find someone who is 6ft tall to sit in the driverseat of this van and do a short video on it? I'm sure a lot of men who are around 6ft would really appreciate it so they can get an idea if this kind of van would work for them. I'm exactly 6ft. I don't mind being a little cramped so long as everything can still function and my legs don't fall asleep. I would like to see how a 6ft tall person sits in this so I could get a better idea. I really want one of these.

The front windshield is pretty close to flush, while dispensing with a rain gutter. The glass is almost bubble-like, giving it a comical but distinct appearance. This could attract a lot of attention on the street, and possibly fill in as a nerd babe magnet. I'm serious, bro. P.S. I started burping, not realizing I was getting motion sickness while watching this.

Where there is a will, there is a way. There are always loopholes. If possible, find someone in California who has a kei car registered in California and ask them what they had to do.

My wife and I are sitting in Japan right now and looking into importing one of these back to Florida as well... we also live there. Do you have a company through which you recommend to import with? Also, what is your typical insurance for this vehicle? Any specific insurance company you work with to insure the vehicle?
@KakerMix

I'm not exactly sure what the situation would be like if you were to secure a vehicle yourself and want to export it specifically to the USA, but as a brokerage I use gwlcorp.com/gwlcorp/. I've got a rapport going with them so naturally I like them but again, I always import through a company meant to export vehicles that translates over to GWL for importing into the USA with all the proper forms and paperwork. For insurance I use an independent agent who then works with an insurance company to get it insured. On my personal vehicles I have full coverage through Progressive (just a standard policy) with the short VIN on the card and proper names and titles for the vehicle. The critical bit is the independent agent since they will know how to work with the computer systems to get these insured. If you attempt to work with an insurance agency directly they are going to stall immediately because these Japanese vehicles do not have the standard length VIN numbers, you need someone to work with the system to get a shorter-than-normal VIN into the system.

KakerMix thanks for the quick reply and info. If you don’t mind me asking, what would I expect to pay to ship one similar to this? And how much for a comparable Acty?

I have this one for sale right now for $7500 bucks which is a fair price for one already in the USA ready to go. Since this one has been my personal vehicle I have done a ton of work on it with all the receipts and everything. You can snag them at auction in Japan for 1200-1500 for a nice one (especially with A/C) plus 2500+ to transport it to Jacksonville plus assorted broker fees and title securing. That is assuming you can get one at auction since they aren't exactly common. You can get the trucks easily, the vans are harder. We have to wait 25 years it doesn't leave a lot of inventory for us. I expect to need new tires at a minimum for whatever I buy at auction and would expect anyone else to assume the same. Even with a really nice quality they are still used vehicles and always require *something* to make them perfect. So to answer your question fully: Shipping to Florida always goes through Jacksonville and that is going to cost, at a minimum, $2500 for a kei-class vehicle. Shipping is done on size and weight and kei vehicles are the smallest and lightest. For the van itself at auction expect $1200~ minimum for one of this quality with these options, more for a four-wheel version.
