Suspension diverted from an Impreza

Also, with the increase in power, the stock suspension is unstable when it comes to driving, so this was also upgraded to modern specifications. It is interesting to note that the suspension kit is not standard, but an external suspension kit for the Impreza that has been modified and fitted. This is a combination that is not often heard of, so it was probably designed specifically for this car.

Other than that, the car was built as a hobby car, so the floor was carpeted in the same way as the factory, and the dashboard was repaired and set up in the same way as the factory. The front and rear seats have also been reupholstered using BRIDE fabric.

Future plans include installing air conditioning so that the car can be ridden normally in the summer. Also, since there are concerns about the brakes in relation to the power, they plan to strengthen the calipers and rotors.

The Hakosuka Sedan van with the RB26DETT engine is a remarkable vehicle, even if you are not a fan of old cars.

The owner’s passion can be strongly felt in the beautifully restored Hakosuka van with its beautifully crafted exterior. We asked Mr. Fujinami how he usually uses the vehicle.

He answered, “I originally built it for everyday use, so I also drive it around town, but sometimes I load it with camping gear and take it on trips.” Outdoor life with a Hakosuka van!  That is also a stylish and cool lifestyle.
