Oh... How funny. I was watching the vid and knew exactly where you were. I dump my yard debris right by your shop, and have seen the 360s parked behind the fence. Very cool. I'd love to see one in person.
Alright, I don't wanna sound stupid but, I have a 1990 Polaris 250 Trailboss ATV, it's a single cyl. 2 stroke made by Fuji Heavy Industries, I know Fuji owns Subaru, so do these 2 motors have any relation?
Not stupid. Fuji Heavy Industries has a facinating history and has built lots of stuff including airplanes. I guess the engines are related ......like distant cousins
Insiders tip: You can join Subaru360 drivers club online and find and awesome deal on a 360 sedan, truck or van. It's surprising how many are out there. Good luck!
Actually owned one of these while I lived in Okinawa. Great car, could go at least 45MPH if you planned far ahead. But since the speed limit, at the time, was only 30 (50K/ph), not a real issue. Did have an event at the beach where I actually ran over myself with my own car. Notorious getting it to start sometimes, so frequently pushed... the "suicide door" hit me in the back, down I went with the rear wheels trailing down my back. Russell/Mayumi
I was just reading about this car in the book about the Yugo The Rise and Fall of the Worse Car This Subaru was imported by Bricklin the same guy that imported the Yugo. They got around safety laws with the 360 because it weighed less than 1000 lbs and the USA Safety laws only applied to vehicles more than 1000 lbs. Technically it was a motorcycle. I believe the original 360 was 1500 lbs but they reduced the weight to get under the wire
I saw the video history about this car, if sameone could check the history ( find for Project X Subaro 360 Japan series ). This car was a good job result.
Wow, 33,000 miles - That's huge for a subaru 360. I had a sedan, a pick up and 2 vans, they are fun on streets with no stop signs or traffic lights. The cool thing about the sedan is the whole fiberglass eggshell roof pops out.
Is that the one that had squirrels nesting in the air intakes? Sounds good now.

@12valvepower4 I use Redline synthetic smokeless two stroke oil, it's not completely smokeless, but the engines do smoke less...

Ha ! times sure have changed right ?. I rebuilt the engine too, by installing a couple of new spark plugs...
2stroketurbo 9 months ago
I agree with you these kind of cars are the most fun to own because they are cheap bust the most fun is driving such car.
I had a FIAT 126 from 1972 with also a engine in the rear.
I loved this car but i had to sell it.
This Subaru reminds me of the Fiat 600 from around the same year and also an engine in the rear.

Sedans are four doors.. two doors called a Coupe
zoneracer 11 months ago
Not in the vintage Japanese microcar world. Honda 600's can be a coupe or sedan both two door.
2stroketurbo 11 months ago
@zoneracer VW Type 1 sedans were all two-door. Sedans are distinguished by having a B pillar, not doors.

Ah ha. That is why ,( the B pillar) , makes total sense! especially with the Honda 600's
