A guy I work with has a '91 truck he loves, and I just won an auction on a '92. Very excited. I appreciated your commentary leading up to me buying mine.

Couple of questions if you don't mind... Are the pedals the same as if you were driving on the left side, clutch, brake and gas? Also, how can the van handle 70 mph? And last question where do you get the van fix if something happens to the motor?
@KakerMix
4 жыл бұрын
Pedal layout is exactly the same, yes. Clutch on the left, brake in the center, throttle on the right. Shift pattern is the same as any car you are used to as well. 70 mph is possible, but it is much more compliant between 55-65 mph. These are tiny small things, your comfort level might be different than mine.

Nice video! Very informative. I recently just purchased a 91 ACTY - much like yours. Do you recommend using 13" tires instead of the 12"? They are a bit hard to find.
@KakerMix

I like to keep things OEM so I'd strive to keep 12s. These are the same tire sizes that are on Geo Metros back in the day so shouldn't be too hard to find. I ordered mine off Amazon.

How has it been reliability wise? I bought a Honda Beat with 70k miles a few months ago, got a whole kit ready for the timing belt ready for a mechanic to install. :P

I had this van as my daily for a bit over two years and besides a solenoid in the carb dying on me I never had any issues at all. I'd expect it to be like absolutely any other 90s Honda, completely and utterly un-killable. You absolutely are going to want to get your timing belt kit done on your Beat, Beats are a bit higher strung than these Actys and they are all interference engines. Take no chances and change your belts! Then sing the song of your people at 8.5k RPM all day.

Air filter is Honda 17254-HC5-900 (normally for motorcylces but fits), available on Amazon for 16 or so dollars. Oil filters are Honda 15400-PLM-A01, case of 5 costs about 34 dollars on Amazon as well.

I want a kei van so bad. Nobody within a reasonable driving distance of me sells them. If I want one, I'm probably going to have to have one imported from Japan and hope it's in good enough shape. Then there's the issue with money. There has to be some way for me to get one. I do have a question I'm really curious about: Can you fit a sheet of 4ft x 8ft plywood in the back of this van? Doesn't matter if the back hatch has to stay open a little, will a board fit without breaking anything?
@KakerMix
4 жыл бұрын
A 4x8 sheet of plywood could fit, but yeah the back hatch is going to have to be open at least a little. You also will have to have the plywood leaned over as it can not fit flat.

I never did a yearly average, but per tank I'd average around 35~ mpg. People claim to get 40 or 50 but they must not drive it like I did, which is foot in the floor, RPMs in the sky.

I am in Sarasota, Florida. Since you are in California you have CARB to deal with, from what I hear that makes registering an import, kei or otherwise, there next to impossible. Doesn't mean it isn't possible, just that if you were in any other state it would be much, much easier.

We took this specific Acty down to Key West, which is about 6~ hours away from us, though it took us longer because we avoided the interstate. I'd do a 10 hour trip if I needed to, but I'd rather ship it if I could. Keis are great city cars, not great for sustained high speed travel on highways. You'll be uncomfortable.

Small and slow, no problem. The dimensions and design, you could probably haul some lumber in it and all the groceries you will need, so not really THAT small. Slow, well, you will get to where you need to go eventually anyway. In my area of the country, you will be lucky to do more than 35-40MPH during any trip unless you take the interstate, which I hate doing due to idiot drivers. Unsafe, well, nothing in life is all that safe. Keep in mind the danger and take the needed precautions to try to avoid getting in dangerous situations. Things like: keeping following distance large, keeping to the speed limit, paying attention, pretending everyone else on the road is an idiot so you're not surprised when the occasional driver does do an idiotic move, drive slower, take your time, and learn defensive driving. I'm shocked when I hear of people getting into dozens of wrecks within their first ten years of driving and I'm like, how? I've been driving a good ten years now (and have driven close to half a million or so miles) with zero wrecks. I didn't even take drivers education, I taught myself how to drive. I really want one of these vans. My big questions is, *can I actually fit into it comfortably* (I'm 6ft tall).
@KakerMix
4 жыл бұрын
If you are tall in the torso then you should fit OK. If your height is in the legs you are not going to have an easy time with it. Good thing about the vans though is you can always build a custom bracket to move the seat back if needed. It's just a simple mounting system and a simple seat, and because it IS a van you have space to move the thing back. If you were dealing with a truck you can't, the cab ends.
