any heads up on how the wheels are driven? chain to d/shaft?

Shame we didn't get a decent shot of the engine.
Imagine the shock of motorcycle riders when they hear that awesome sound coming from a tiny van 🤣
I wouldn't be shocked, but getting a boner in public is kinda awkward...
I would go for H2 engine or H2R 👍

Giggling away like a couple of teenager with their first bottle of cider. This is brilliant. And the fact that this nutter has owned it for 9 years and it still makes him feel and smile like that shows how much fun it is.
When a legend meets a legend with a legendary build. Awesome stuff

What is the top speed
🤣🤣👌👌
nice man, happy as Larry.
ngl the owner looks genuinely happy when he was showing/driving the car. Made me smile too! God speed to the both of you!
If I was viewin a used car at his place and I spotted this, a spin around the block would probably seal the deal.
Who needs hugely expensive super cars when a super carry sounds like this and puts a huge smile on your face. Just awesome.
Had a Suzuki Super Carry, back in 1994. 1000cc stock engine, 38 hp or so. What a HUGE difference !! 😀 Back in the days I've dreamt about fitting some larger rims, but never imagined a GSXF engine in it ! Brilliant !!
I would go for H2 engine or H2R 👍
Brilliant!
@@averilazurbatoy6853H2R all day, H2 is the road legal version, but the H2R which is only for racing/race course hence the R would bang out heaps more power.
@@AstrixCloud wdym not legal there's version of h2r that has headlight and tailight along with signal light for road legal.. h2r is really meant for sport it really has no headlight and etc to be road legal but there is lmao.. watch moto vlogs h2r public reaction Philippines you'll see.
@@AstrixCloud where you gonna fit that engine if you have seen a kei truck it's a really tight space it's not easy to swap a engine in that thing
I’ve had a few of these, always puts a smile on my face the amount of funny looks I get when going sideways in the rain is is priceless 😂
Used to own a bandit. They are super reliable, high-reving, and very decent power. A really good option for an engine swap. There are some great places in the uk that turbo these engines, too.
In india it is named as omini and new ones available with 800cc engines, I love the way it drives, but with a bike engine it should be more fun. No one has ever done. Perfectly done congratulations 👏
This is awesome! So nice to see something different other than crazy expensive supercars!! Loving the channel Calv 👍
This Car Saves A Lot Of lives in India
As It is Mostly Used for Ambulance Purpose In our Country ❤💫
Now an ambulance van with a faster engine would be cool too!
And kidnapping in movies😄😄
😂😂😂 they save with some candies
Omni 😂

Anyone from Kerala😍??
Great finished project and even better to see you encourage your daughter to have the same interest in cars. Awesome.
You say Suzuki, I say Bedford, you say Super Carry, I say Rascal! 😂 No-one can ever say you don't have enough variation on this channel Calv 👍🏻
I say Bedford rascal also I used to have one
It used to do endos and pop little wheelies if ya popped the clutch over a speedbump
I say hi-jet!
They are the same thing essentially, suzuki, Bedford and dihatsu did a small van all on the same chassis with the same body
Suzuki and dihatsu did the 1.3 turbo version along with Vauxhalls version which got 970cc engines
@@markphillips6998 ^ that. Bedford licenced manufacturing the Suzuki Carry, but installed 1100cc lumps as opposed to the 660cc's that were standard in Japan.
I had the same colour van back in 1990`s, but it was called a `Bedford Rascal` great practical little run arounds, wish I had kept it and pimped it with the same size motor cycle engine in its later years.......this made me smile big time.
With that engine it might be a good idea to look at a deeper oil pan or dry sump. Motorbike engines are not designed for lateral loads like a car experiences during cornering, and can drop oil pressure due to the oil sloshing to the side and exposing the pick-up.
That's a really great point. 👍
It’s so tall/narrow I doubt he takes corners that fast, but maybe(?)
@Jim Stenlund True, it is pretty tall and narrow wheelbase... but maybe it can still corner hard enough? I guess it depends where the oil pick ups are.
Aw this is incredible, I had one of these back in 2004 on a K reg and it was amazing fun. Obviously mine was just a 1.3 standard but same colour with a set of black bull bars on the front, used to draw some strange looks but was such a great little van, even used it to move house 😂
The sound of the engine is sooo epic, man I want to have a modified car with epic build too.
I'm a big bike rider, I'm going scrapyard in a minute to get all the bits I need.....🤠💪
So bloody cool. What a brilliant project, love to see the owner getting a kick from it even after 9 years!
Love from India. Never seen before a van like this. having a superbike engine. That guy is genious.
We have Omni e bro 😛😂
@@ebenezerdanielth it's a prefacelift omni in this video
I had the same van back in 1994 but it was called a Bedford Rascal. I used to carry gaming fruit machines for pubs and clubs in East London, it was slow and the brakes were frighteningly terrible when loaded. Happy days.
I love that little van..... cute with a bit of a snarl, just like a tiger cub !
The Little Van which turned into a beautiful Little Monsterrr🐣🎶🦢making beautiful Sounds too!!🎶🎶
I would never buy or make something like this but I'm glad it exists. I love seeing people's creativity and fun creations.
In 1989 I was an apprentice domestic appliance engineer and I had a works rascal van I got to drive after work and on weekends and I was really into rallying and soon discovered that if you dumped it from fourth gear to second that you could do a Scandinavian flip type of thing and I got really good at it until I rolled it and wrote it off!!. Brilliant little vans though and it's great to see this one.. superb job!.
😂😅😅😅😅😅
@@daskamu I wasn't laughing at the time but now it's funny as!.

As a biker this is the coolest bike hauler I've ever seen 😎
This is cooooool. Would’ve love to have had a close up tour/run down of the whole running gear, front to back. Awesome stuff
Same.
There must be a feature somewhere on the net
I would go for H2 engine or H2R 👍
I'm so jealous! I used to have a Suzuki 1300 Supercarry to deliver milk in years ago and I used to love it (especially driving round the rural Cornish Roads and I as was the fastest milkman in the west) and it used to fly even with just the 1300 so I bet this beast is insane!
love it - milady used to have a 600cc Suzuki Hatch 2-speed AUTOMATIC which we would help up gradual inclines by bouncing in our seats 'c'mon little Suzy - you can DO IT !!!' - while laughing our heads off - it was pure fun !
Looks to have been done right. It's fast, but not too over the top. The performance is ok for the chassis, brakes, suspension etc without being too dangerous.
A bit of fun for tight and twisty roads.
Suzuki GB sold a van (and flat-back truck) since 1979 called the Suzuki ST80. In Japan it was previously sold as the Suzuki Carry. It had a mid-engine laying on its side beneath a removable cover in the load area.
Sales were good but by the mid 80s, the Uk's Japanese import quota was restricting its sales. Suzuki did a deal with the old Bedford company (by then renamed IBC - for Isuzu Bedford Commercial) to build Suzuki’s latest version in their British factory in Luton. The idea was that both Bedford and Suzuki would sell unlimited numbers of the new commercials in the UK. The Bedford was sold as the Rascal and the Suzuki as the Supercarry.
They were both launched around 1987 and apart from badges and paint colours, were identical. Suzuki sold two colours that I called 'Ministry of Defence Beige' and 'Filing Cabinet Green'. All the popular colours like White, Red and Blue (plus others) were sold as Rascals.
Their identical engines were Japanese-built 800cc capacity naturally aspirated 4 cylinder 4 strokes. They produced 37 bhp at 5,500 rpm.
They were vans, after all.
Suzuki GB advertised them as having 'Back doors for side streets: side doors for back streets'.
Such was their unladen weight distribution that emergency braking caused 'stoppies'. A full forward roll was only stopped when the front bumper hit the road with the van at about 45 degrees.
Great fun to drive.
Wasn't it 970cc??
@@Scousewil the Suzuki Super Carry, at least in France, was powered by a 1000cc, by mid 90's, and then the last version (bigger and different, also) was a 1300cc.
@@denishenriques9977 Yep I had a Rascal pickup and two Bambi Rascal Motorhomes (a wooden cabin on a pickup) and they were all 1 litre Suzuki engines. In fact, I dropped and rebuilt one of them - that was fun jacking the vehicle on one side so it lurched over enough to slide the engine from underneath on a sheet of plywood! The SuperCarry with the 1.3l engine was completely different and you couldn't put the 1.3 in place of a 1.0, hence why some people resorted to large motorbike engines. We travelled 3000 miles around France in our 1 litre motorhome - not a campervan - a Bambi motorhome with considerable weight when central France was hotter than Tehran. She ran too hot for my liking and sitting on top of the engine was like being in a sauna but she never skipped a beat! Great times!
They were sold here as Suzuki Omni in India. You can still see plenty of them in the streets even today and it's one of the most popular vans in India.
Wonders of google
So it's a Gen 3+ Bandit 1250 adapted to a mini-van. Kind of cool.
I built from parts a Dale Walker stage 2 Gen 1 Bandit 1200. It really moves quickly and that sound!
The torque is really good with the bandit cams.
I think I have that Yoshi pipe on my RF900RV. 👍
It's not a competition. Just enjoy the content.
@@darkclouds5261 They weren't very clear on the engine specs. For a video about a motorcycle powered van you would expect a couple of details.
I'm not engaging in a pissing contest. No. Just saying that I think I have an understanding for the capabilities of that engine. There are lots of random thoughts in the post that should have been separated. I'll edit it to make better sense.
Sounds great! Very race car like shifting, abrupt & responsive.
These little vans from Suzuki and Honda were cool, cracking job on that and must be a hoot to drive👍
That needs a turbo it would be even more of a beast 😍
It's not a beast lol it's probably 110hp max
this is no beast
This is epic!! N wat a top bloke I've got 6 kids 2 of them girls n my 5 year old girl is into anythin wiv a engine so nice to see another dad sharing his passion wiv his girl 👊👊
buyyy éltríc hybredf rv
from a former owner of gsf bandit 1250, I confirm the power and reliability of the engine, bravo, man
Last thing you expect to see coming around the corner after hearing that exhaust. How cool!
Man that looks so fun. Had a smile on my face the whole time. As someone who rides bikes, the idea is so amusing to me.
What a nice down to earth man 💪🏼. Love the van build 💪🏼
I can understand why the bloke who built it sold it because it is the stupidest piece of shit It’s slow drives like a pig dangerous as I just don’t understand the point 💣🧨🔨⛏🛠⚰️ . Only joking I❤it😅
Love your energy Calv. Great interview.
Slight deviation here. In Australia we had Suzuki and Daihatsu. In the 1980s there was a Holden Drover. It was a little Suzuki 4wd 1.3 litre by another name really. Suzuki Sierra ? Over in England there was the Bedford link for the van. I love this. Great work. Awesome little machine. Something different.
Wish we’d got more of the little stuff. Those little Suzuki 3cyl Utes, went places a land rover would get bogged.
(I remember getting back into town for the weekend, during floods, taking back paddocks. I Had a pretty girlfriend to see☺️).
Having just finished my own bike powered car it’s very cool to see another bike engine build.
They called them the Marutti van in India, remember my cousin had one in Panjab in 1996, I was 14 years old, first trip as a teenager to India, had some great memories of visiting family in that van and they always put a smile on my face.
This van is also called the kidnapping van in india because many indian movies back in the day used this van for kidnapping scenes 😂
@@RED_58 haha I don't remember is doing any kidnapping. The "doctor" video by Sidhu Moose Wala also has the same van 🙏🏾
@@RED_58 malayali aaano
Can you imagine standing on the side of the road? and hearing that sound expecting to see a superbike. and instead seeing that van, and being confused that it has that sound coming from it.
How did I miss this one? Calvin, you crack me up, for such a nervous passenger you still got in it at least and loved the way you had the window down slightly to enable you to hang on. You had a look of 'terror of the unknown' on your face. Top bloke for giving your time. This is what motoring is all about, the unusual and the diverse interests of people and what they do in terms of motoring. Big thanks.
Not my usual go to content but this was fun. He really enjoys his little van 😂👍
What a cool van. Thanks for the content. You guys made me smile the whole video.
Years ago a mate of mine had a standard Suzuki van for work and he could hit the brakes hard at slow speed, and get it to tip up on its front bumper. He would most frequently do it at a zebra crossing, much to the alarm of the anyone crossing.
Gotta love how much he enjoys his crazy little van.
Mate!! That is one sick little van😂, love the little minimoto addition in the back too, I remember having a couple of those when I was a kid, amazing fun them little bikes😁, what an awesome one of a kind van!!, brilliant video calv, keep trying to bring crazy things to the channel👊🏼💯
Insanely fun little van to drive. Very creative. Scary but fun and it sounded fantastic, surely will turn heads and wondering what was that as they'll be expecting a superbike but instead a blue little van came flying past. Well done. Love it.
You never drove it
@@Nobody-dc8dp people are full of shit hypocrats
just warning u :)
@@Nobody-dc8dp no shit sherlock
@@Nobody-dc8dp yes i never driven it but still it looked fun. Easily seen on the face of the owner and the youtuber. Have driven one with original engine but still fun.
@@roadspectre7655but you never drove this one.
That SOUND says it all. Just want to floor it all the time.
Excellent friends very good change and very good result this suzuki van
I know this van is absolutely awesome but I Would still love to see this van run a boosted setup.
When I passed my test in 95 at 17, my dad had a rascal and he'd let me use it at night..... the fun we had in that little van was off the chart 👌🤌😁
Absolutely love it, god bless the creators of these superb machines😍😍😍
Man, that looks like too much fun! Gives a whole new meaning to pocket rocket!!😄👍
Such a cool unique build,gotta love that sound
That’d wake you up in the morning 😂I’ve got a Seicento Sporting for work, and it is very tempting to do something similar. 53.6bhp standard, is……nearly quick enough. Apparently the ridiculously strong engine can take 300bhp 😳 Great video! 😀
Hey we have the same car !
@@randommkeyz5029 s😂
That thing is insane! I love everything about it!
I used to have one of those vans... yours is more fun.... Brilliant! 😀
Just when you think you’ve seen it all 😂 what a sick machine!
that great! 🤩🤩🤩
eh awk buat ape kat sini? :D
Here🥰
This is Michelle, from Tennessee in US and I would absolutely love it
Brilliant... sorry no other words to explain this little gem
That is ,by a long shot,the most brilliant and yet hilarious piece of automotory I have ever seen !👌👍
Calvin you looked about as comfortable as a turkey sitting on a pile of stuffing listening to Christmas carols, but how much fun was that van lol.
Had one them in 90sgood little work van
Crazy pommys, just love it.👍
Less is more sometimes Calvin, you don't need 700bhp to put a smile on your face
That engine has 97bhp unless it's highly tuned, and has about the same torque as the original engine, but it sounds fast which I guess is a good thing for holding onto your license.
They are talking about crank power figures (optimistically) & you're quoting wheel.
Stock is 30 odd so considerable improvement
The Van looks like Maruti Suzuki Omni
11:43 That sound🤤🤤
Decent power to weight ratio, handling must be lively 😲
The look of disappointment on Calvin’s face at the 20-70mph time, Priceless 😂
My Berlingo van can do that
Any bike engined car needs to be sub 500kg or it'll be slow af
@@benbirch2393 especially with 2 or more people
It might be 70miles/h but it feels like 170 in that van. Which adds to the excitement. It's like a gocart.
this is totally not bad at all. the stock engine of the Van is 38HP, now it becomes 130HP. that was a huge jump. maybe this Van is not fast, but it's super fun to drive
Brilliant machine...so much fun!
uncle smiles do goood. Such a happy man.
Epic van, may it live for many years to come! 😎
So funny seeing how uncomfortable being sat there was making you feel, brought back memories, cheers 🤭.
I had the exact same expression and was reaching for a handle when a passenger in one many moons ago, and I'm a bad passenger too 😉
My friends van was standard and I felt it would tip in any direction at any second, especailly in high winds, and the non existent space inside made me feel totally unprotected, if not in more danger than would if on a motorbike lol.
Its like being an elephant trapped inside a bake bean tin!
A white knuckle roller coaster for sure, I can see why its so fun hahaha.
Looks sketchy at high speeds. I love it
"...an elephant trapped trapped inside a bake bean tin..." 😂 You've made my day, 😂! 🍻🍻🍻

Here in india , it's called the Omini (maruti)
it was actually used in many 80's movie known as (kidnap van)🤣🤣🤣
That is awesome. That is worth the build. great job.
My Friend had a Mini Marcos with an old Honda 750cc engine in. Back in the 80s so same look of confusion when others heard the bike but couldnt see it.😀
08:54 that sound, wow, amazing 🤩
Proper Cool little Van, Hope Will @ Vrs sees this & wants too Turbo it, be Sicc 👍
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's the Little Blue Buzzbox coming down the road at you! What a fun looking little automotive bundle of joy! This would be great in the inner city for making deliveries since it's small enough to navigate and park on, crowded streets. This might be a market for builders to capitalize on...
stunning build, smiles all the way
Are you coming to petrol headonism on Saturday?
BTW I saw this car at caffeine and machine last year.
I’ll be there on Sunday mate 👍
@@CalvinsCarDiary oh right. I might have to grab a Sunday ticket too!
Fcukin sick 🤣🥂👍🏼
I was just about to comment them exact words 😂 glorious 👌
my first car was a van like this.. stock version.. not with the crotchrocket engine.. i would buy one again if i could. it's fun to drive.
I can only imagine the grin factor driving this great little van
Очень красиво сделано! ❤
Thats so cool! I would love to drive that van!
That's the coolest ride I've ever seen 💯
So cute. I love tiny things... this us amazing.. ❤
That cool as .
😆 my old man use have one them. I knicked it of him and took it to local max power and had it on crates over 16 yrs ago.
That thing is rad. I need one now!
Amazing. Must truly turn some heads when fueling up through the passenger door
Tonnes of fun. Not many cars get you smiling like that.
