WHAT THE! Just found this on carsales http://www.carsales....id=12520AF2CC20 ELECTRIC SHERPA!

[Hypnotic]

she's coming along quite nicely Aek.

[aekOne]

Love the new rims Aek! It adds to its gutsy 'can do' attitude

Had no idea you could register it as a commercial light van haha....thats awesome, the tint will give it some serious attitude.

ps. I was very impressed with its effort in the rally I read about somewhere on this forum. Should be Subaru's next WRC car

Hahaha yeah thanks mate. The rally was mad fun. We took a wrong turn up some dirt road and I swear we got proper air off a crest after we turned around and were gassing it to get back on course!!

I’m actually supposed to go to Wakefield on Thursday in the liberty but am now considering taking the Sherpa down instead. It’s probably more reliable...

haha love the rims Aek! 14's look huge on it

Don't put too many stickers on it, it will spoil the good looks,

Is that an AWD sticker? lol

Yeah the stickers are coming off when I get it re-sprayed. I’m gonna get a chrome subaru badge and pretty much leave it at that

The GTI and AWD stickers where on it from the previous owners. I started taking them off the other day but got bored so they stay for now...

WHAT THE!

ELECTRIC SHERPA!

Hahahahahahaha 10kw engine!!

she's coming along quite nicely Aek.

Thanks mate.

I bought some R33 Skyline seats on the weekend which I’m gonna put in.

Anyone know any good interior places in Sydney??

I can't wait to see pictures of this thing in a year or so, You would probably end up spending more money on the sherpa than the Lib! haha

[aekOne]

Hahaha yeah we’ll see tom

Got the windows tinted today. Really happy with the look now. Fully hectic VIP braaaaaaaa!!!

I’m going down to Wakefield for a track day in it tomorrow which should be interesting. 125kmph max down hill with a tailwind should be interesting on the front straight. I reckon by the time I get to 80km I’ll need to start braking for the first corner

What's happening with the Gen 2 atm, do you ever drive it?

[aekOne]

what gen 2? hmm lol it's got solid case of aids at the moment. there's a bit of a noise which we suspect is possibly a valve spring so heads need to come off. again. hopefully it's ok. i'll see next week. it's covered by the rebuild warrantee so hopefully get it sorted soon

[RX25SE]

Looks tops aek. Really diggin those mudflaps.

[Billsy]

go the sherpa! for the last 3 months ive been fanging around in an 89 sherpa, 2cyl EK42 fitted some used platinum plugs, changed the oil and put in an RS seat (NOT an easy conversion) great little city car, gets 5L/100km everywhere and you can fit down bike lanes and make your own carpark spaces, haha

You should bolt on a tarbo Aek I just read it was 2 cylinder haha That's awesome, Is it a Boxer engine or inline?

[YNT29T]

Haha nice Billsy!! White Gen 2’s a Kei cars ftw!! I was going to put my old heritage seats in but as you say, I think it looks like a bit job and couldn’t really be assed. I might just get them re-trimmed or some custom covers made up. What was the hardest part about changing the seats over?? Swapping rails looks like a real nightmare...

The 89’s a different shape yeah??

Believe it or not mate it’s a boxer. Tiny little pistons of furry!!

LOL funny you should mention boost. I was driving into a steep upper level ticketed carpark the other night and actually got stuck on the up ramp coz it just ran outta steam. Had to roll back down to the flat and take a good run up to make it to the top

Gotta keep my eyes peeled for a supercharger kit me thinks

You ask about trimming places
try
dr stitch
art trim
doran custom interiors

Thanks for the heads up mate I’ll check em out

I took the sherpa for it's second motorsports event the other week. Andy and i went down to Wakefield with some of the rexnet boys last month which was a bit of a laugh. At every hard corner it felt like the front wheels were going fold under the chassis but in the end she went ok. Managed to pass a civic which I was actually able to keep ahead of till they got black flagged for dangerous driving behind me...



Here’s a clip. Pat didn’t film any sherpa laps but you get the idea

Aek, have you thought of a Hayabusa-1300 or GSXR-1100 transplant.

Last night at Westfield Kotara, As me and the missus were getting in the car i spotted this little red thing beside me... It was a red one of these! Had rims, exhaust, tint and was very tidy! I wish i got a photo, But when i had just realised it was a sherpa the car behind beeped me along

[aekOne]

lol no shit?? spewing you didn't get a pic... sounds like there are a few kicking about haha Frank i wish!! i will look into it though

[Cam.]
