One of my friends had a Subaru like that when I was in High School. Same Color and it sounded like yours. He was always fixing it. That was about 1974. He had a ball driving it.
Re the speedbumps, brake before the speedbump then just before accelerate. This removes the braking compression from the front springs and makes the ride much softer. Very few seem to do this but it is a known technique.
Ahhh…the smell of 2 stroke exhaust! I bought a Saab 93 2 stroke from junkyard in San Francisco back in 69. I loved it! Forget the electrics…..2 stroke cars rule!
I haven’t seen one of these “Fuji” Subaru cars in many decades . There used to be one at a Service Station I used to pass by all the time. Stopped in and looked it over a few times. When you said it “started it all”, it did. This is how Subaru entered the US market . Malcolm Bricklin. Great video. 🚗🙂
I had a 1965 Saab Model 96 2-stroke Monte Carlo Rallye Edition for many years. Still by far the most fun & favorite car I ever owned. I had 2 more 4-stroke 96's over the years but like with my motorcycles, the Buzzers have always had the highest Fun Factor & a special place in my heart. Wish I still had Olga, the Queen Of The Snows, bless her smokey little heart. 💜
I remember seeing those 360's when I was a kid in the 60's, never releaized how small they were till I seen it in ur garage. I'm 65 now, my long term memory is better than my short term, I'm about 10 miles east of Salem Oregon.
That car is brilliant! I remember that the Ulster Grand Prix two stroke motor cycles, used to use a vegetable based oil for the mix. The smell as they flew past was exquisite.
Mmmm. Castor. I *love* the smell of two-strokes in the morning. At Oliver's Mount morning practice, we'd be lined up along the hill after the first hairpin. Two-strokes with pinned throttles screaming past us, the music they made made all the better with the beautiful perfume trail they laid. Imagine a line of use all doing the 'Ahh, Bisto' sniff'n'smile as they rocket past. Sheene's Rise on a cold, misty morning as practice was run was always popular.
Wow! You have lots of treasures! My father used to own this Subaru 360. And he took our family (mom and three kids) to his parents place. The trip was about 300km. My brother often puked because the heat exchanger was leaking gas. Your vid brings me back to the old memory!
Great two stroke sound! I wanted to go get a haircut today but only got about 100 yards. Flat tire! Well, my Daihatsu Mira with 12" wheels was a piece of cake to change tires. I went to the store where I bought the set of four tires two years ago. The store was closed on a Wednesday, although there were some employees working on their own cars in the garage. They pumped up my space saver spare tire a little and told me to come back tomorrow.
Two-stroke engines were used a lot in economical microcars sold in the UK in the 1950s, though the advent of affordable and economic small four-stroke engined cars like the 1959 Austin Mini put an end to them decades before clean air acts banned 2-strokers. The rather oddball 1 litre, three cylinder 2 stroke medium-sized Wartburg 353 Knights made between 1966 and 1988 in East Germany sold a bit in the UK were a tad more sophisticated, I recall 2-stroke oil mixing was achieved with a pint of cheap oil being added manually to the petrol in the tank.
Those subarus are so cool. They sound awesome. I own 3 trabants and the engines seem quite similar. The trabant has a 2 cylinder 600cc air cooled 2 stroke. The difference is that you have to premix the fuel manually. The sound is almost the same. Keep up the good work!
@@gfargonetoo1 I'm sure they are , to be honest I would find one where the body and everything is complete then swap in a snow mobile engine as it's pretty much what was used in those trabants. If it's original engine was tired of incomplete that is. Or do a motor cycle engine swap yeah i know it won't be 2 stroke but yeah.
@@gfargonetoo1 Not really, not in romania, where it was full of trabis 40 years ago. And some guy in Germany still makes or repairs parts and sells them online
I absolutely love these small cars from back in the 50'ies. They also give you some good attention now, 70 years on. And the dog is cool getting a ride in this little wonder. Love it!
Little cars are a blast to drive. I have a 1977 MG Midget I rescued from a friend's garage. Not quite as unique or tiny as your Subaru, but when I got it running and took it for my first drive, I knew it was worth it, like driving a street legal go-kart.
Te felicito por conservar esas hermosas máquinas!!!, en algunos familiares míos, hubieron Me-200 KR, Goggomobil 400 2T y 700 4T, denominados Isard en Argentina, así como tres Fiat-600, 1964 y 2 del 1968, y Citroen 2Cv y 3Cv, hermosas máquinas!!!, ahora solo conservo un Chevy 1971-230", de 0 Km, ya que mi familia era concesionaria GM en el pueblo. Además un Scooter Honda Súper Tact 50 cc de 1995, que funcionan de diez !!!, Saludos desde San Luis Argentina !!!!
The first car I owned was a little two cylinder two stroke made in Australia to compete with the British Mini. Its tiny 324cc engine couldn't compete but it was fun to drive. Hills were third or even second gear driving.
I fitted a DKW 800S engine to a three wheel microcar, I gave me 100hp (tuned) and over 120mph, any faster and the front lifted up. the two stroke sound is unique, We use a similar non smoking oil in France.
Also, a tuned expansion chamber exhaust system adds a huge amount of power if the sound is something that you can tolerate, I was taught in high school how to calculate the specifics of how to make these tuned exhaust for any two stroke engine
I remember the first time I saw one of these little puppies. I was at a friends house and we were poking around a 1957 or 1958 Mercury turnpike cruiser. (The one with the air intakes on the front corners of the roof with the antennas pointing out the front.) His sister showed up in a brand new red and white little Subaru 360 she had just been given. That thing was tiny, Smokey and slow. It lasted somewhere between 6 months and a year before it broke and got shuffled off to the side of the garage in the back yard and just left to the weather and blackberry stickers. Did not take long to turn moss green and dirty brown and get covered with those blackberry vines where basically only a front fender and headlight were sticking out. That was the last time I saw it.
excellent car... hemp seed oil can be used for the add in for the very excellent motor... it's really a perfect car for the city... plenty of room for another person and the dog 🐶.. I have a go boy too 🤠
I'd love to find one of those that needs an engine.... I have a 1999 Suzuki 4cyl fuel injected gsx r1000 that was in a fire but the driveline is perfect.... That'd be an awesome upgrade
My dads first brand new in 1975 was a wartburg knight in orange he gave to me when his eyesight Started to fail him I used to love the Turbine like engine if you let people drive it the Freewheeling system used to surprise them
I once drove a Honda Z600 (I later owned my own) 150 miles, mostly on interstates. I passed a Subaru 360 which was entering the highway and honked in greeting. He scowled, until he saw what I was driving and then grinned and waved. I blew his doors off I test drove a new 1972 Honda Z600. The out the door price with tax title etc, was $1967. I bought mine used at one year old. I later replaced the exhaust and the battery, both with Honda parts because they were cheap. I like the yellow DKW (The little wonder). They used to advertise that the engine had only 9 or so moving parts.
That was very exciting thank you for sharing that first time I became aware of the Subaru 360 was when consumer reports magazine rated it non-acceptable naturally I was extremely attracted to the car the first time I saw one was in Bloomington Indiana then I was so so surprised when I found out my sisters boyfriends father had one in Mars Pennsylvania and I couldn't wait to see it and hopefully get a ride in it unfortunately that never occurred it was great to see Portland again was that park near the Japanese gardens?
Incidentally, a 360 two stroke engine is about equal to a 720 cc four stroke engine in output, i have a 1952 Citroen 2cv with the original 375cc engine (actually the entire car is all original, driveable, and was documented in 1974 as the oldest 2cv in the USA) it is quite possibly the oldest all original 2cv on the planet at this point
Yep, you can hear when an old 2-stroke’s ready to load up. Like my old MX Bikes and chain saws they just don’t like to idle much. I gotta say, my Makita electric saw is such a relief in that respect. Have you ever considered an EV swap in a micro car? I’m not drawn to new EVs that much ‘cause of too much tech (touch-screens etc - yuck!), but a sweet, simple, charming old micro car electrified sounds like a dream though I would miss the shifting and the ring-ding-ding.
Great video. Would love to look around your garage as I was a youngster in the 196-0s in Germany, dad was British military. My mother had a BMW Isetta, four wheel version, which she used to transport her and me with my two sisters all on one bench seat with the door in front of us. She moved onto a DKW F102, (did I see one in your garage?) and then to a DKW Junior, both 2 strokes.
can a feller get some brakelators? nope!! the wheel cilynder popped, Dang it!!. i think this was the first car i saw on your channel gosh little over 10 years ago and i also subbed right then and there. at the time my borther was working at the local subaru dealer and i was looking into early subaru stuff.
Super cool car mate, really enjoyed that. Also, the roads look so much nicer than the awful ones in the UK. Makes driving slightly less enjoyable, especially my Boxster S. But, I have a Jaguar S Type, so if I want comfort I use that 🙂 New subscriber 🙂

What d'you want low smoke for? Clouds of blue smoke is the whole point! I ride a 350 jawa. No, not as a Sunday toy. It's my main transport. 7,500 miles a year!
Karl Benz built the first two-stroke engine car in the late 1800's. Saab began building mass production two-stroke cars shortly after WW2 before Subaru even existed.
Suzuki had their pre Samurai Lj10's and LJ20's in the early '70's that had very similar engines. 2 cylinder 2 stroke 360cc . Your engine looks almost identical to the air cooled lj10 engine,
Can you do a comparison of the Isetta and 360? What you like/dislike about each and what's better/worse in each. I checked Wiki and the later 360s came with as much as 36hp that must feel pretty crazy.
Only the Japan Young SS came with 36 hp. Very rare. Never seen one stateside yet. The standard model has 25 hp. With a few mods , close to 30 hp..... believe me , that is Plenty !
Does the car have like freewheel drive hubs or whatever to compensate for lack of , or at least greatly reduced petrol and therefore two stroke oil flow into the engine when going down hill , or does the automatic pump continue "oil injection" while descending ? hope thats an intelligent question but whatever thats on cute little 2stroke!!
O I saw a green old car,, what is it? It's a out house ... Love your videos.. just bought a 42 DeSoto front end without the grill ,,, put my old toys in where the grill would be???
Yes, I have a 1975 Bricklin SV-1. I met and talked to Malcolm at length at a meet in 2006. He recounted the whole story from the beginning with Subaru. I liked the guy.
Two stroke engines such as these smoke a little when they are cold, as it warms up, pistons and rings expand slightly ( you can not have them too tight when cold, that would cause EXCESSIVE wear if they too tight, F1 engines can NOT be started stone cold for this reason, their oil and coolant MUST be at FULL operating temperature, IF not it would DESTROY itself!!!! )
