Amazon find, came with a few different adapters for the thread pitch and just screws right on.

Thanks 👍

I don't follow, where are these wires you're referring to? This video was adding speakers to the doors, there were 0 wires in there originally.

Yeah, I realize this isn’t necessarily related to the theme of your video. But, I was just wondering, with all the work you did, if you knew which wires under the dash were for the turn signals. Finding a wiring schematic for the Hijet has been impossible for me so far.

That's the funny thing, the tracks are long enough for an 8' door but the factory stops on the opener bars are the limiting factor. So no, I didn't have to do anything to the tracks. And yea the only reason I tried to maximize the opening height is because I had a ladder rack on top of my truck at the time. As far as how high it would open without modification, you would have to install it to a point where you can test or measure where the lift arm rests closed up to the stopper at the full open position. Theoretically it would open the distance between the physical stops if you can install it in a way to take advantage of the full travel. Too many variables to say with certainty.

I have been meaning to repair my 3d printer so I can offer these clips to everyone asking. I'm working on it, keep an eye out, I will post a vid/short when I get to making them.

I zip tied the wire up out of the way and just pulled that bulb out of the dash, it doesn't affect anything else.

Thanks! I haven't been printing them, but if theres a demand I guess I'll order some filament and print some up. I'll post an update when I do.

Thanks man!@@GreeceMonkeyz

Which ones are we talking about exactly? In the front from underneath? or in the door jamb?

Not noticably. Maybe throttle response as it is much less restrictive. Mostly just makes your ears happy when you can hear induction noises. Alost losing a few pounds of intake tubing didn't hurt.

It sure does. I recorded it at night and it shoots flames about 2 inches long lol

I used two different white automotive touch up cans in alternating coats to get a closer color match. I think they were arctic white and stone white. 30 years of sun fade is not easy to match.

Hijets have a funky bolt pattern of 4x110, here in the states you will mostly find ATV/UTV wheels with that pattern. My wheels are 4x108 and I'm using misalignment lug nuts which allow for 1mm play in either direction giving me 110mm. Definitely not ideal, but with the right hub centric ring I don't have any problems with vibration even on the highway. Might be easier to get adapters made and just use wheels with more positive offset.

I've seen those clamps, I need to get one. I used the Harbor Freight balancer to get them close, which for my application was enough, they're going on a kei truck that does 60 mph max. No vibrations at that speed so far.

The clamps do help. I use 2 for removal and 1 for installing Good luck with the HF balancer. A good test after initial balance is to lift the wheel , turn it 90° and put it back on the balancer. If it's still balanced, you are good to go. @@GreeceMonkeyz

Thanks!

No they're not, so left side looks different than the right.

It's the 125cc motor that was in the dirtbike I chopped up. It's a 4 speed too, so I don't know what those gear ratios are but the sprockets were a 12 and 60 tooth I think. I since changed up the sprockets on the jack-shaft to get more top end since torque doesn't matter much with sleeves on the tires.

@@GreeceMonkeyz cool, my drift trike has a 110cc 4 speed and I had a 13 tooth front and 38 back sprocket, top speed was about 30mph now I have 19 tooth front sprocket and 25 tooth back sprocket and the top speed it around 60mph and in the first gear it got sill plenty of torque. Whats the new gear ratio you're using and what's your top speed?

@@GreeceMonkeyz if you check Colin furze drift trike he uses a 1 to 1 ratio that means the same front and rear sprocket.

@simongarcia2763 I'm really not sure what the top speed is, probably too fast for comfort. It doesn't really stop all that well as I'm sure you know. I went with a 9 tooth on the drive side of the jack shaft and the 14 on the other end. Too lazy to math out the final ratio. Probably won't move without the sleeves on it 😅

@@GreeceMonkeyz thanks, but what would me an estimate of the top speed?

It's a manually operated fresh air vent conveniently located to cool your nether regions lol

@@GreeceMonkeyz OEM? Or aftermarket lmao sorry I had to ask because I couldn’t tell if you were being sarcastic

@randomuser23277 heh. I don't know if its oem, I got it on the truck like that from Japan, didn't check if it had a subaru part number on it and I've since sold it.

Definitely scoop one up if its cheaper than buying the parts seperately, that's a hell of a deal.

Amazon, generic motorcycle slip on muffler, but I had to do some fabrication for the rest of the pipe.

I no longer have any of the stock piping, those holes are air pre-heaters to help warm the engine up faster, they don't enter the exhaust stream, just go around it. Sorry for the late reply!

They really aren't seeing much force as the pry bar does all the work down low and the duck head its sliding along the rim which keeps it in place too. But yes they've been holding just fine!

6.5" Sundown Audio subwoofer and 6.5" Kenwood Component door speakers (needed some trimming to fit in the door)

They were 16x7 +35 wrapped in 195/45R16 tires. With 15mm spacers and I think removed mudflaps, they dont rub.

😂😂😂 you are right me too trying to get over those 300 dollars

I threw together the system from donated parts, so the front bags are from the Air Lift Performance kit that I aquired from my cousin, meant for the rears in a VW GTI and the rears I ordered off amazon, generic maXpeedingrods 110mm stroke bags. It's not perfect, I plan to redo most of it now that I'm doing other things to the van. Videos on that soon.

I'm still running the stock alternator but I did install a larger battery to compensate for the electrical load but also because I needed an AGM battery to install sideways when I relocated it. Stock battery would probably have been ok since I also changed every bulb to LED so it balances out probably.

I've painted a kei truck in and out, but I'm still no expert. Definitely do your research. You want a good mechanical bond, so sanding is ideal. Scuffing pad at bare minimum. These kei trucks seem to be painted with single stage paint, so no clear, just a thick ol layer of glossy white.

@GreeceMonkeyz much appreciated I watched your series when you built the red kei Truck and was very impressed. 10/10 best walk through Kei Truck build. Was mind blown you fit a well sized sub in and without making it look janky.

Thanks! 6.5" sub is probably too small to most people but it fills that tiny cab with lows nicely.

I'm not sure about the cv axle itself. I've seen them for sale by some kei parts suppliers and also on eBay. They aren't cheap though.

I've still got the files to print out some more, send me an email at thegreecemonkeyz@gmail.com

I thought about that too but levering down lower puts less sideways stress on that vertical part, maybe that’s why?

Thanks 👍
