New member here from SF Bay Area!
Hello!
I am a new member and future 360 Van owner. I am currently on the look out for a good condition 360 Van. My friend introduced me to the 360 Van and I immediately fell in love with the car and told myself I have to have one. Just got done with my current build out (see below). Looking to go retro now. Say hi if you stop by!
Cheers!

Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
Welcome!
Nice looking GTR, wish my sti shined like that, then again if I ever quit driving it I'd have time to clean it up.
You won't get quite the throttle response from the van but you might get the same amount of attention and you'll be going slow enough to notice.

Welcome to the club and good luck on your search. This is a great group and you will find a lot of help here from very knowledgeable people. When you start bidding on a vehicle you should let this group know so they don't bid against you, seriously.

Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
Thanks for the tip. I have three vans that I am looking at right now. Two are publicly for sale and one is not public, it's the Ace up my sleeve.carlofsumner wrote:Welcome to the club and good luck on your search.

Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
Get the very best 360 you can, without much regard to the price. The price you pay to dig out rust or replace irreplaceable parts or paint it or upgrade upholstery will pale when compared with having paid a little more for a better vehicle. Ask me how I know.
Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
I hear you. I am searching for the best that money can buy right now. Then i'll make it better. haha.
I don't want a project car. Just want to enjoy it and have fun.

Wow. A Subaru van is about as POLAR opposite as this GTR as you could get. Nice to see you appreciate a broad mode of transport.
Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
Haha, they couldn't be any more different! The 360 is such a cool little car. I was going to add a mini to my car collection but after seeing the 360 van my heart was set. They are so cool and funky. A van nearly the same size as a mini, who wouldn't love this little car.

Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
While I was getting Spud inspected yesterday one of the mechanics asked which did I like the best my STI or Spud. They both have their own appeal. And yes they are polar opposites of the "sport" class.2stroketurbo wrote:jquiroz wrote:Hello!

Re: New member here from SF Bay Area!
I'm sure you can add a little bit of "go" to the 360. I have a few ideas that haven't been tried before.kjrcace360fan wrote:While I was getting Spud inspected yesterday one of the mechanics asked which did I like the best my STI or Spud.

I get a kick out of this. The carbon ceramic rotors on my GTR, at 15.5 inches, are bigger than the wheels on the 360 Van. Love it!

That what I said too when I saw the picture! I was dreading the call from the driver saying it wouldn't fit.

The little guy arrived today! I'll throw up some pics when I get a chance.
