Well, as a Canadian, all I can say on behalf of the shop that gave you bad service is.... Sorry.
This might be the most Canadian thing I have read in a long while.
Such a cute kitty lol, These days you can't really get good service anywhere.
We came for the repair videos, we stayed for the cat.
my guy funny af, 10:23 to 10:36" let me go back to where im from, let me use smaller words"- MrSubaru1387
Quotes to remember for 2021
Definitely include your new cat in your vids, made me smile!
I'm glad Monday delivered something good. 👍
Good on you for adopting the cat. He had a intresting meow. 😆
Welcome to my world of owning a Daihatsu
Wasn't a Daihatsu in 1994. Lol.
@@MrSubaru1387 89-92. Besides the subies i have 3 1992 Daihatsu Rocky’s.
They sold the Daihatsu Charade here from ‘88-92. They also sold a Daihatsu Rocky tho I’m not too familiar with those.
Having worked in parts and service... That kind of service is inexcusable. How can they even do business like that!?
Exactly.
Yeah...I've ordered stuff from Japan recently and it took less than a week. Thanks for the info! 👍
Also, cat clips would be welcome 😊
glad that samie the sambar came through.......your right about buyer beware......keep the videos coming.
Came for the rant, stayed for the kitty.
That's one f#ckin nice kitty, right there 👌
Looks like you have a good buddy. It gets out you took him in people will be dumping animals all the time .Glad you gave him a good home, People can be cruel to animals. Love the videos just bought my 3rd Subaru rencently,getting some good info. From your Chanel. Thank you and looking forward to more.
Man, that's a bummer that you had to go through all that. But thanks for the entertaining video!
Thank you so much for the diversion from the news today!
"Lemme use them smaller words." I actually laughed out loud at that! 😂😂😂 Sorry for the awful experience, Mr. Subaru. All the same, Happy New Year!
P.S. What a cute cat! Bonus points for being colour matched to your beard, lol. DEFINITELY include Sherbert in your future videos!
Well that certainly explains the lack of content on this vehicle, I have been waitng!!!! Sorry to hear of your troubles, big bummer. Good on you for lovin up that kitty.
Sure a talkative lil guy! Lol glade ya finally got what you need to bring the sambar up to par
You spun off so hard in dimensions of pissed 😡 that you created ripples. Universe counters with a kitty. See how that works?
Looking forward to seeing the repair videos on the Sambar. Been watching your videos for quite some time, and my 99 Outback and 2006 Legacy say "Thanks!"
Also you know the logical name for your cat...I mean...Sambar is a boy name..right?
Right. But, named him Sherbert off hand. Lol. Subaru and or Sambar would've worked, but already have a girl tortie named Sammie.
"Parts are a little aggravating to find." sounds like a bit of an understatement to me. Also orange kitties are awesome.
Those Aisin water pumps are like gold I've done a one or too on a Toyota!
LOL that cat is adorable. Thanks for the update.
I am happy to help, and it is okay to say my actual name since I use it on all of the forums and on Facebook. ;)
The belt was not OEM, but it is at least a Japanese manufacturer as you noted. I have recently switched over to Mitsuboshi branded belts as they also include the interval change sticker and they cost approximately the same.
There's a moose loose aboot the hoose, eh? Lol. And omg a timing belt changing kitty! 😁
love the Canadian jokes, good to see that you have a sense of humour in a frustrating situation, especially if you did have an aneurism and might of had to get your US insurance company to pay up instead of our single payer government system in Canada, been their done that in both systems lol! Not a lot of fun being hounded by bill collectors while the insurance companies wait for the other insurance to pay their part.
ps love the cat, cute
Great video and very informative
Sambar update, rock on! Subaru rage, watch out! I would have been livid as well with regards to aftermarket vs OEM parts. Lessons learned, sh*t happens! Cute cat, ppl can be so cruel!
Like the new helper. More helper videos now.
Quite a polite rant really and the added bonus of a friendly kitty...karma.
Awesome kitty,thanks for the info, I've been on the fence for buying a sambar or similar (suzuki) for a bit.
Always use made in Japan parts for Japanese vehicles, in the late 80's,there was a chinesium version of timing chain for the 22r toyota that would stretch and explode shortly after installation.
Hooray to Sammie. Hellooo to kitty.
Well that good reminder not all online sales go smoothly .
was a long ordeal, at least not urgent repairs but I guess it did effect youtube content .
Well least it over, onwards we go ....
That's a pretty nice cat. You are lucky he found you.
Tough deal on the Sambar parts. Glad you found a good supplier now. That cat looks like a good Mouser. Leave him at the farm and feed him there. My daughter found a stray that looks just like him, and put it in our house with the other cats. Now the "Pecking order" is in full force between all the cats.
Rant warranted. Sorry about your luck with those numpties. Us Canucks are not all like that!
Dear Mr. S., Pls do not get a heart attack. I enjoy your videos. As Jim Bluchi God bless his soul would say ' Don't get mad get even'. Mention and drag their name to crap.
Awesome video. Finding genuine parts for the Sambar is tough. It'd be nice to have a reliable stateside vendor for sure. Please tell me you named that kitty Samby!
Dump the kitty on the next farm 🤣😂🤣😂
Just kidding is Garfield in tha house or is the farm or sambar well the good thing you have company when wrenching
The Disb. Cap box looks like the same box size as my black Subie H 6 oli filter box lol
Cool cat! Very handsome! What are you going to call him? Very good of you to take him as your own now, great job.
Sherbert.
Great update, but what's gonna be your next excuse: dog ate my homework? LOL ;-)
Dude, I would have already exploded. And of course a cat in the video. Cat videos...one of the prime content ingredients of the interwebs, ha.
Glad I don't have to drink everytime you say Right Drive Auto.
Order my parts right from Japan , gave up on 99% of the state side sellers .The Mitsuboshi timing belts for these clover 4 motors are made in Thailand . OHNO Rubber is a OEM supplier for all the Japanese manufacturers so you got OEM without the Subaru packaging
Nice 🐱 thanks
Im glad you was able to get the correct parts finally!! That cat is awesome
hey our dollar is not that cheap, its up to 79 cents US as of today. There are a few Sambars and other odd Subaru's my area, Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury Ontario. In Sault Ste Marie the local post office has a collection of RHD JDM cars, including a 1994-98 twin turbo 2 litre Legacy wagon which I believe is rated at 280 HP. The postmaster has an Canada market STI. There are a few Sambars in Sault Ste Marie, and one in the town of Spanish, and I think it was this one holding up traffic on highway 17 (the Trans-Canada highway across Ontario) over the Christmas break, had more than a dozen trapped behind him doing 80 kph...
Yeah, I looked back it was around $320usd. Had money split from my cc and PayPal balance.
It’s sad to here as being a Canadian we have the same issue living here.
I think you have a new best friend, Mr. Kitty. He might take care of the mice at the farm.
looks like my katzen.....you got a friend
The first easiest way to put hands on genuine parts it's have a friend who lives in Japan and ask for the favor. Another way to buy at monotaro site. But I worked at Subaru assembly line for a long time and, believe, from years lot's of parts comes from china and are not 100% made in Japan
I live in Canada about 1 hr from their location. I called multiple times, was put on a callback list, sent several emails, filled out a form on their website. Couldn't get ahold of anyone, I assumed they closed. Weeks later I heard from them. I had already got most my parts elsewhere. Had a couple more I wanted, gave them a list, they said sales would contact me with a price... Never heard back. I don't think they want business
"let me use them smaller words" died laughing right there. Speaking from experience (owning a JDM subaru WRX) it is not easy finding parts at times WRX sounds easier then the sambar but not everything is easy. Also MrSubaru1387 kitty! or is it MrSubikitty1387? XD
I can definitely write more eloquently than I can speak. Lol
@@MrSubaru1387 same here. my mouth can never keep up with my brain haha but my hands can
Check Quirkparts they got great prices and only oem stuff. For more older japanesse cars I found that Megazip is realy good because they still have lots of hard to find parts or even discontinued parts. Directly ship from japan at a reasonable price.
That’s it! LS swap time. That’ll show those Canadians! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Edit: I ordered some tires back in June of 2020. Still waiting....
thanks for the video mr. subaru. when I come to neck of your woods we'll smoke something funky it'll lower your blood pressure
I got sambar parts from right drive parts, and there website had an error that told me something went wrong at checkout and to try again. Tried it again same thing same problem, checked my email, found 2 purchase confirmations, called them and explained eventually they canceled one of the two identical orders,
Other than that the parts were all I needed for an ok price.
Try ordering parts to Canada 😉
That cat is your new mascot lol Did you name him Subaru? You were nicer than I would have been in those parts. I hate bad customer service!!
His name is Sherbert. Lol
Good rant. I have issues with Yokohama and Right Drive. Yokohama says their sales men are trained mechanics. Ha. I made the mistake of saying Danko book is a joke and no mechanic could use that book to repair anything. Service went way down after that comment. They also charge high dollar for OEM and send aftermarket. They have terrible service. And will not get back with you on any parts that are paid OEM and shipped after market. Right Drive is very expensive and a wait list for a crazy 800.00 for a windshield (3-6 months) I explained that a 2002 sambar is a utility vehicle:purchase options of a cigarette lighter and an AM radio to work in the affordable budget of a workforce making 10.00 a day. Not A U.S. similar model year luxury vehicle whose windshield would be 450. U.S. installed.
I use G&R in Missouri they are fair priced fair service.
My last purchase with Yokohama Motors included CV joints, struts, tie rod ends, ball joints, Front rotors, and brake pads. Plus some small box fillers.( That's when I figured out every item shipped seperate or in same box was 40% added shipping to item cost) wish I had known of G&R prior to long Yokohama wait for very overpriced parts. And wrong parts shipped for another long wait to correct.
A person buying these imports had better really love them. (I do)
RIghtdrive is trash, they're well known here in Ontario to be shady. I've tried out kei trucks from them before but never bought, they always ask more than twice the amount for a truck you can import with a broker in the same condition so why bother? Cool showroom though, been there in person.
Sounds like my clock spring...smh
Anti aneurysm therapy cat!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 😎
Well....I am sorry with your experience with this Canadian parts company. I live in Canada....and I only buy parts for my Subaru from US companies. They are superior in many ways.
Its sad.....but true....
RD strikes again. Had a horrible, horrible experience with them with my Celica. Sorry to hear about your negative experience.
Seems the normal business practices with them. Keep hearing the same from others..
Wait for their "legal team" to contact you to take down this video
@@seancarvalho6518 go ahead. Nothing I said wasn't factual. 😂 😂 😂
Mr. Subaru, any advice for a sticky accelerator on my 1999 Sambar (31k km and fuel injected)? I push it down as gently as I can and it goes from zero to 40% instantly. It's like real sticky. I tried following the cable to the back but am having a hard time finding where the throttle adjustment is. I have a feeling it's in the peddle or close to it anyway. Help me Mr. Subaru, you're my only hope!
Its sad, for a country like Canada that is a goods and service economy GST, there is barely any goods or services in the auto sector.
My Girl works at a farm with horses. We had kept a boy cat that was abandoned there he is so sweet now ! Awesome kitty
Do you have a link to that sweet jacket you are wearing? It looks warm.
Was Snap-on yearly winter jacket from 2016 I believe.
Will Subaru dealerships in the US not bring in parts if you have part number? I'm fairly certain I could go to my local dealership (in Canada) and get all those parts if I have part numbers.
Not that I've ever encountered.
Hey Mr. Subaru. Hope you see this comment. I'm wondering if you could help me figure out problem with an engine swap i have done. It's a 2005 subaru wrx sti engine in a 2005 saab 9-2x. I'm having problems with it wanting to start when warm. It will start when cold. But now it's not starting at all when cold. Any ideas? Thanks.
Check your crank position sensor
I'm pretty sure that the Sambar will be one of your Subaru's you'll never sell. I tried sourcing parts from partsmonster.com Took forever and a day. 4th gen Legacy, got genuine front brake pads and questionable genuine rotors, but sent 316mm rotors and pads. 3.0r stock are 293,even Brembo has them cross referenced wrong. 6 months later... trying to source a pair of front GT Tokico calipers with the front brakes I got stuck with. No more expensive than sourcing quality blanks and pads. I'm hoping you make the Sambar "farm only." Remember that A/C upgrade and dump bed you were talking about. Your new furry friend will help you through those future growing pains. Someone probably dropped the cat off when they saw the Subaru farm... You know Subaru prides themselves on the $24M they donate for animals?
The Sambar is tagged, registered, and insured for highway use here in South Carolina. Been driving it quite a bit. So not farm use only, in this case. But does have a farm tag on it. Lol
From J pan haha.
Amazing how bad they could be. Normally OEM stuff I just go to the Subaru parts store as shipping from overseas ends up costing about the same after shipping
Partsouq.com is quite popular.
yup. I get my Subaru branded oil from Amazon.com, BUT: it turns out dealerships in the US are selling parts & consumables on Amazon.
@@wim0104 that's pretty good. I use a mix of eBay and Online stores locally especially when it comes to oil. eBay good with private sellers selling OEM filters or UEC.
Hey mr subaru I need help identifying a2004 h6 ll bean trans. Looking at a JDM replacement they list two in stock with final drive as 3.083 and 3.273 not sure if it will work with my car my trans code is T1ZA42MFAA
If you have part numbers, I recommend amayama.com - they ship from Japan and are pretty good about communication. DONT use partsouq.com, they are terrible to deal with
Did somebody say spspspspspspsps 👀
Did you end up getting your money back?
No.
Why didn't you just place the order right there on the phone when the guy had him hands on them?
I'm in nh and Id drive down just to adopt that cat. If he is up for adoption
Nah, he's mine now. Haha. He's latched on to me. Follows my every step.
@@MrSubaru1387 have a name yet?
@@apicars1287 Sherbert
Vessel JAWS contest
h6 swap it
Easier said that done on this. Lol
Do you have a name for him yet?
Sherbert
Sounds as bad as ordering from Frank’s tools lol. P.s. don’t order Japanese tools from Frank’s tools as he like to give you the run around.
Naming him subie ??
Sherbert
Icein? Never heard it pronounced that way lol sorry you had to go through all that.
Not nice. left a bad review
