Interesting about the highway performance. Most people you ask are so clueless they just say it can't do highways but I think 99% of them don't have a tach or understand powerband and just shift when it "gets loud" so they think it's about 1/3 as quick/fast as it is. It's still slow, but it's MUCH faster if driven correctly based on some Japanese videos I've seen with people that know what they're doing. It actually seems pretty peppy up to about 45, which can get you enough of a lead to buy some time to creep up the rest of the way to 60-65 mph. The more I research kei cars, the more it seems Japanese makers knew people were going to have to flog them to get power so they built them really stout to handle the constant higher revs. I mean, there are 650-ish cc 3-4 cylinder motorcycles that highway commute daily at 7k+ RPM without issue, so I don't see why it would suddenly be a problem when it's put in a van. I think a lot of youtubers/social media people are buying cheap crap cars with known problems and blowing them up for "look at me" content.

I've owned a lot of mini trucks by now. Overall, they are totally fine on highways with speed limits up to 65 mph. All our highways around here are 55-65, I never feel that unsafe. Going on massive interstates where limit is 70 and people go 90, no way.

Great video! I was able to complete the job after watching your video. I would like to add that there are two covers for the timing belt on my HA3, a small rounded one that goes in from the top and a larger one that goes in from the bottom. The top one goes in first. Its rounded edge goes into a lip by pushing towards 10 o'clock. It also has a rubber gasket that clips to the edge that goes into the lip. You have to put the gasket on the edge before inserting into lip. The motor mount bolt at 10 o'clock can't be removed/inserted without being in the motor mount, so this is the last bolt to be removed and the first to be installed for the mount. Keep your jack under the engine because you will be raising and lowering the engine numerous times to access the bolts. I had to buy a straight handle 12 mm ratchet wrench to remove the alternator bolt from the top. Then an offset 14 mm wrench to remove the last bolt from the mount from the bottom. It is so tight in there that it is hard to get leverage. So I wrapped a ratchet strap around the alternator pulley and a hook to the other end of the wrench and pulled it loose.

@Tyler Littleton what model Acty do you have? I figured out mine is slightly different. I have a 95 Acty Street, Automatic with AC. With my model, that fan thing is a much heavier/sturdier piece. It's more of a harmonic balancer. And the crank bolt is holding it on. So I had to remove the crank bolt first. To do this I needed to use a pulley holder and breaker bar. Or you can use an impact gun If yours is Automatic with AC, check if you have that crank bolt on there holding the harmonic balancer
