Chris' (RA Limited) Subaru Sambar van

[RA Limited]

FREE CANDY!

I am at work so i can't post pics yet, but i sold my 180SX back in March(?) and got this van. It was $700 and it's got awesome AC.

Details:
EN07 660cc "Clover" four cylinder. An inline four. NA, single carb. Totally gutless, like 30hp.
5spd, 4x4 with the 4x4 switch in the shifter. It is true 4wd, as it has no center diff. The "transfer case" is a dog gear and that is pretty much it.
Rear engine, drop down the rear bumper to do stuff to the engine.

I picked up some Potenza R-4 Rally wheels for it (14"), just need to get some tires this weekend.

My pics are on my flickr, just search "sambar"

the Potenza R-4's are frickin sweet.

The back left shock is blown as hell, i need to go grab one i found in a local junkyard. And today my hazard switch broke and fell off of the steering column wtf.

This was my first non-DCCD subaru to rally, and needless to say the lack of DCCD and front/rear LSDs worth a damn makes for a totally different driving experience. Did not oversteer like i was used to. :)

and for reference as to what a non-"classic" model Sambar van looks like, here is one for sale near my house- snapped these with my phone yesterday.

I wanted a more normal one like this, but all i could find at the time for a good price was my dumb mystery machine.
