1993 Mitsubishi Bravo Kei Van FULL OVERVIEW

[@louispaxeco6931]

Fantastic machine... AC, power windows, electric lock, tilting steering wheel... Amazing ;

[@Waybeforethefame]

Indeed it is!

[@kittycatnet]

You mentioned you added more insulation for heat under seat for engine and also said it doesn't really get hot. Just curious why? Mine stays a normal temp in cab. Different vehicles from what I have but curious of what was going on with yours. -Thanks

[@Mike_at_QC]

Hey, maybe I missed it. Can you provide more info on your stereo deck set up? I am looking to replace the old school single din in my 95 Bravo. The guys at Crutchfield didn't have much info. I need to figure out mounting / electrical connections. Do you have any info to share?

[@808granato]

good video. like how you went through it quickly! I ordered a 93 and hope it has same features as yours! tilt wheel!? whaaaat!

[@Waybeforethefame]

I just sold me a couple weeks ago but man that bravo was one of my favorite cars all time lol

[@RampartPh]

the japanese really keep the good stuff to themselves. btw, don't you guys convert your imported kei cars from right -hand drive to left-hand drive? i understand there are conversion kits available in the market.

[@Waybeforethefame]

Nah i dont know who anyone who has ever converted a kei truck. But Japan definitely kept all the cool stuff for the JDM market

[@RampartPh]

@@Waybeforethefame steering wheel conversion is actually par for the course in a no. Of countries w/c import kei vans/trucks. Reason being is they can't be registered in their local dmv equivalent because well, their right hand drive hehe

[@mrkevin6354]

Thank you for your video. Will any mechanic work on this? What type of oil do you use and filter? Are parts readily available?

[@Waybeforethefame]

Real mechanics yes

[@aaronsatterlee365]

I got one with the super aero roof. Totally worth it.

[@Waybeforethefame]

Kinda jealous of the aero roof models not going to lie lol

[@wardwicker2563]

Where would be a place where I can purchase a Suzuki K Van near Columbus Indiana?

[@Waybeforethefame]

Only Suzuki kei van I can think if for sale is at HVNYimports.com

[@My.H3ro]

How long is the cargo space with seats up?

[@Waybeforethefame]

About 6 feet

[@lldrny]

Looking Good Bro 🤜🤛🙌👍

[@MarcoCeppi]

I just ordered a Honda Acty Street. Doing the import myself though

[@Waybeforethefame]

Definitely the most cost effect way to do it, im going to learn the import broker ways real soon

[@MarcoCeppi]

@@Waybeforethefame it’s not been bad so far. It’ll be shipped this week. I keep getting people trying to buy my minicab from me I figured it’s time to get a van and see how hard it’d be to do imports for others

[@慈恩須水]

@@Waybeforethefame That is a good timing. kei car since 1998 has changed safety standards and has changed to a modern car. It is the best change for many Americans that their car width increased. lol So they are expected to be more popular.

[@justinlewczak9339]

Great tour of the Kei Van. What about adding a sunroof?

[@Waybeforethefame]

seem like too much work and i think it'll look very good with the headliner stars

[@altruismfirst6489]

@@Waybeforethefame sunroof means rust, better insulate to stay cool and he has done that to the engine. The open windows all the way has enough cool air and no sunburn anyways.

[@stevanbertarelli]

Awesome video brother, hows the insurance on it? Insurance companies picky when it comes to insuring imports?

[@Waybeforethefame]

It’s pretty simple you can just use Hagerty

[@stevanbertarelli]

@@Waybeforethefame they pretty picky , this would be a veh for a daily commute or 2 to 3 times during the week, would progressive, Allstate, etc insure these type of vehicles kind of curious on how much insurance companies charge, let me know if you have any idea. Cheers.

[@Waybeforethefame]

@@stevanbertarelli yeah you could try those too I would just stay away from saying it RHD and all that weird stuff when you ask. Just say the vin is short because it’s old.

[@hughjasse3375]

I loooove my k-van. Everyone should have a microvan.

[@Waybeforethefame]

i agree i had a kei truck for a year and that was fun but that van is alot better

[@UngoyPrime]

Which importer did you use?

[@Waybeforethefame]

i buy stateside

[@altruismfirst6489]

Hi Brother - Mitsubishi offered the most crazy kei vans at that time for many years until Daihatsu went one up and offered electric curtains!!! could be an option on Bravo but never seen them myself so just speculating. Top of the range Toyota vans also had this high end option real gangsta stuff! myself just bought a lower spec Minicab wagon 1993 very cheap here in Japan of course. Have you tried epoxy for the buttons or some kind of glue? Also how is the engine sound before and after the sound deadening you did? Planning on doing the same but using also some silicone sealant thinned out with turps and paint it on to get all the metal bits that are hard to stick material onto. Silicone does a good job for heat as well. Great car but dont go 10k rpm without loading up also 7.5k rpm is max hp anyways ;) but its like an f1 like bike engine hybrid that could easily make hp at 9000rpm instead with some slightly re-ground cams. One last thing economy can be improved as will cooling using an electric thermo controlled radiator fan instead of the hp robbing mechanical setup. Enjoy!

[@Waybeforethefame]

Yeah thank you for the info, im going to be taking my van to Virginia from NYC about 1000 mile trip this week!

[@Waybeforethefame]

Engine sound was about the same the heat has been non existent since the sound deadening tho

[@altruismfirst6489]

@@Waybeforethefame perfect the heat is the issue in summer. Just keep a 2 pack putty stick the ones for hot water pipes or any pip in the glovebox. Saved me from leaking water heater line and also repaired my AC lines using it. Very cheap here in Japan for a buck an inch is very handy. Also spare V belts or whatever belt yours takes just in case as I also had mine break and it was great when fitted yet somehow a rock got in (what I could figure) as the damage on the belt was obvious not from build quality. Lastly timing belt spare is a good move in case you are stuck somewhere since it is hard for many to know if its been changed for sure. Enjoy your trip bravo brother from Japan.

[@derrerrrr]

almost sounded like doug demuro in the beginning

[@Waybeforethefame]

tried to model after the goat of car reviews lol

[@XNick291X]

Microvans are cheap and plentiful, so hopefully they won't reach silly money unless it's an exceptionally rare one!

[@Waybeforethefame]

Yeah me too i feel like they're already 10k plus which is alot
