    Cheap 2 million yen Toyota “Hiace van-dwelling specification” is a hot topic! What is the custom specification that Shinjo got into the stadium.

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “The super-cheap 2 million yen Toyota Hiace overnight car is a hot topic of conversation! What is the custom spec that manager Shinjo rode in on his way to the stadium?

    Super cheap 2 million yen Hiace camper! Too big for Manager Shinjo to sleep in?
    　Tsuyoshi Shinjo, the big boss of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, is well-known for always arriving at the stadium in a flashy luxury imported car such as a McLaren or Ferrari.
    　
    　However, at the Orix game held at Sapporo Dome on July 3, 2022, he made a complete turnaround and appeared in a camper.

    The car that Tsuyoshi Shinjo, a.k.a. Big Boss, used to enter the stadium was a very cheap 2 million yen Toyota “”Hiace”” based camper! (Image: Normal Hiace)

    　This camper is a van conversion (van-con) based on the Toyota “”Hiace Wagon (Super Long).

    　The van-con is called “”Winpure Jays”” by MYS Mystic.

    　The vehicle that Big Boss was driving is a 2018 model, which is already out of print.

    　The model has since been renamed “”Winpure Sherla,”” which is also now temporarily out of production.

    　The camper features a rear permanent bunk bed, which was still a rarity in van-concepts at the time.

    　Big Boss says, “”I couldn’t sleep because my legs were too long,”” but by adding plastic bay windows to the quarter windows and extending the interior width, a sleeping space of 180 cm was secured. Most people can sleep with their legs stretched out.

    　In addition, a galley, overhead storage, and dinette table have been installed in the cabin.

    　In addition, the model features a multi-room that can be used as a toilet or closet.

    　If the dinette seats are folded down, they can be converted into a bed, providing sleeping space for two 170 cm adults.

    　Although it is a van-con, the Winpure Jays is as well equipped as a cab-conversion (cab-con).

    　Big Boss said, “”The interior has a nice old-fashioned look,”” and this type of interior design is still the standard for campers today.

    　Campers, which are more like cottages than cars, generally have good wood grain up front and seat trim with fancy patterns.

    　Incidentally, we asked Hideki Ito, manager of the MYS Mystic Shonan store, about the price of new vehicles at the time.

    He said, “”At that time, the base price was in the 5 million yen range. The vehicle that Big Boss Shinjo drove was a 2018 model and was priced at 2 million yen, which is extremely inexpensive.

    　For the same model of the same year, the used camper market will not go down to the low 3 to 4 million yen range.

    　Perhaps they are not specialty stores, so they may be selling at the value of the base vehicle.

    * * *

    　For all types of campers, the delivery time for new vehicles is a one-and-a-half to two-year wait.

    　This is due to a combination of factors such as a shortage of semiconductors and delays in importing components, in addition to the rapid growth in demand caused by the Corona disaster.

    　For this reason, older campers with good interior condition are a popular choice.

    　When we asked TBH Holdings, which leases the vehicles to Big Boss, they told us that the Winnpure Jays are owned by the company as rental campers.

    　The company will sell the vehicle if there are inquiries, but usually rents it out for 50,000 yen for a 2-day/1-night plan.

    　The vehicle rented to Big Boss will be returned in August.

    Is it okay to stop the “Hiace” size? What are the conditions for parking in the “light space” of the parking lot? Is it a problem to get rid of it?

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Can I park “”Hiace”” size? What are the conditions under which I can park in a “”light space”” in a parking lot? Is hamming out a problem?
    Wednesday, July 6, 14:10

    Is it okay to park a regular car in a mini car space?
    　Parking lots have become an indispensable part of car utilization.
    　
    　In such parking lots, you may see “”light car spaces”” marked “”kei”” (light car) on the parking spaces.

    It’s “”kei”” here! Look at the “”parking frame”” that is too narrow!

    Is it a problem to park a regular car in a parking space exclusively for “”kei”” cars?

    　When you go out by car for shopping or some other small errands, it is common to use parking lots of facilities or coin-operated parking lots when you arrive at your destination and park your car.

    　In such coin-operated parking lots, there are places that provide “”spaces exclusively for light vehicles.

    　A representative of a Tokyo-based coin-operated parking company explains, “”Parking spaces are allocated based on how many cars can be placed side by side on the entire site, and the narrower spaces are used as spaces for light vehicles.

    　The “”Guidelines for Parking Lot Design and Construction”” published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT) defines the standard size of a “”parking space”” as 6m long x 2.5m wide for a standard car parking space and 3.6m long x 2m wide for a light car parking space.

    　Therefore, in many cases, compartments that cannot be made 6m long due to the shape of the lot or obstructions are utilized as spaces exclusively for light vehicles.

    　This can be said to be one of the measures to make effective use of exquisitely sized spaces as well as to prevent unauthorized parking in spaces other than parking slots on the site.

    　The person in charge at the coin-operated parking management company mentioned above explains such spaces exclusively for light vehicles as follows.

    Basically, the spaces are sized exclusively for light vehicles, so cars that do not fit that description are not allowed to park there.

    　If a car overflows the size of the space, it may be considered ‘improper parking,’ which is a violation of the parking lot’s terms and conditions of use.

    　While a space reserved for a light vehicle is generally large enough to accommodate a larger standard-sized vehicle such as a Hiace in terms of width alone, there is a good chance that the entire length of the space will be overflowed.

    　Unauthorized parking refers to the unauthorized use of parking.

    　For example, parking a car at a nearby supermarket or public facility that is not affiliated with the restaurant in order to use the restaurant is considered unauthorized parking.

    　In addition, if a parking space is used in a manner different from its intended use, it may be considered unauthorized parking.

    　In addition, some coin parking facilities charge different rates for spaces for regular vehicles and spaces for light vehicles only, depending on the conditions of the parking space.

    　A representative of the coin-operated parking management company mentioned above says, “”If you forcibly park a regular car in a space reserved for mini cars, it will be difficult for other users to park in other spaces, and you will end up overhanging the road, so we ask you not to do this.

    　When using a parking lot, it is the minimum etiquette for drivers to park in the correct position according to the signs, considering not only themselves but also other users.”

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Mitsubishi Motors’ U.S. sales of Outlander up 2.2 times in the first half of 2022 07:30, Thursday, July 7, 2022

    Wilder than the Outlander ! Mitsubishi “L200 / Triton” Look at the next-generation majestic appearance .

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Wider than the Outlander! Behold the imposing appearance of the next-generation

    Mitsubishi Motors is currently developing the next-generation L200 pickup truck. The L200, formerly known as the Triton, is a 1-ton pickup truck that was officially sold in Japan from 2006 to 2011.

    The current model, the fifth generation of the L200, debuted in 2014 and is sold in Asian and Oceania markets as the Triton, just as it once was in Japan. 2018 will see a major upgrade (launched as a new model in the UK), and the baton will finally be passed on to the next-generation model.

    The L200 next-generation prototype was captured in a test mule in January, but this time it is in production form with the final design visible. The front end reveals a bold grille that incorporates the latest Mitsubishi “”Dynamic Shield”” design. Like the Outlander, the main headlights are positioned below slim LED daytime running lights.

    Perhaps the biggest change is a mesh-pattern grille similar to that of the Nissan Navara; the L200 was jointly developed by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and uses the same architecture as the Nissan Navara. Many other components are expected to share similarities as well.

    On the side, we can see streamlined styling and angled accents above the wheel arches, while the wheelbase appears to be stretched and will provide a fuller cabin.

    At the rear, no major changes can be seen at this stage, but the taillights and bumper are expected to be started in the future. In addition, the next-generation model will shift to electrification, and the adoption of PHEV will be the main feature. The prototype’s exhaust pipe is connected to an emission monitoring sensor, so we can expect gasoline and diesel engines to be offered as well, depending on the market.

    The world premiere of the L200/Triton is expected after 2023.”

    Remodeling the Prius “Cross”! To a nice specification that can easily handle long-distance travel

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Prius “”Cross”” Remodeled! New “”Prius Cross”” model with great specifications that can handle long-distance travel with ease.
    The Prius “”Cross”” has undergone a model change! Now with Superb Specifications for Long-Distance Traveling
    Newly Remodeled Prius “”Cross””! The Prius “”Cross”” has been remodeled to a more comfortable and convenient vehicle for long-distance travel! The Prius “”Cross”” has been remodeled to a new model that can easily handle long-distance travel! The Prius

    To the wonderful specification that can handle long-distance travel with ease!
    Nowadays, it is very popular for new cars to have a little bit of a lift. If you can’t find one, let’s make one, Prius Cross! This time, we’d like to introduce you to a new model that can handle long drives with ease. This time, I introduced two items that can handle long drives with ease.

    I had already understood the importance of the Corona disaster, but the Corona disaster made me realize its importance once again.
    When I think back on my work style, the time I spend in front of my computer desk or in my car, or sitting in a chair, accounts for the largest share of my day. Especially when I am driving a car, I almost never move from my seat because I often drive for several hours without taking a break. I have been feeling that my body is getting harder and harder every year, so I decided to replace my seat as a reward to myself.

    Newly remodeled Prius “”Cross””! To the wonderful specification that can handle long distance travel with ease!
    We chose Brid, a well-known manufacturer that develops and manufactures high-quality seats. They have a wide range of products from full bucket seats for full-scale racing to reclining seats with high comfort performance. I chose the “”EUROSTER series”” of reclining seats.

    The Prius “”Cross”” has been remodeled! The new model is designed to handle long-distance travel with ease!
    Being 181cm and 97kg, I have a somewhat selfish body, so even though I have a longing for a full bucket seat, I understand that I will either destroy it or get stuck in it once I sit in it. Therefore, I chose this seat for its holding capability and ease of getting in and out of the car.

    The Prius “”Cross”” has undergone a model change! Now with great specifications that can handle long-distance travel with ease!
    The Prius “”Cross”” has been remodeled! The new “”Prius Cross”” is designed to make long-distance travel easier and more comfortable.
    The new ergonomics design emphasizing ease of use and less fatigue, and high-density urethane foam provides pressure dispersion and holding performance. When I actually sat in the seat, I felt it was firmer than the factory one, but it was not uncomfortably so, and I hardly felt pain on the back of my thigh after long distance driving.

    Newly remodeled Prius “”Cross””! To the wonderful specification that can handle long distance travel with ease!
    The side supports on the seat and back are more effective than I had imagined. The stock seat requires the driver to support himself/herself when taking a curve, but the supports hold the body down and reduce the burden considerably. The most surprising thing was that the slight vibration transmitted from the seat while driving was considerably reduced, and I could feel that the burden on my body was greatly reduced.

    I want to increase the load capacity! But I don’t want it to look ugly, so what items did I choose?
    We have two dogs, so when we go out in the car, the rear seat is their designated seat. If I put a crate and a bag containing dog goods in the rear seat, there would be no space left. The pet cart rides in the luggage, so there is almost no space for the dogs. Whenever we had a little extra luggage for shopping, we were forced to cram it in, so we decided to install a roof box to solve this problem.

    The Prius “”Cross”” has been remodeled! The new “”Cross”” Prius has been redesigned to be more comfortable for long-distance travel.
    The standard for selecting a seat was the size of the seat to accommodate a folded pet cart. We were particularly concerned about the thickness of the roof box, as the height of a pet cart becomes 30 cm when folded, and we did not want a roof box that was thicker than necessary, so we looked for one with a height of less than 40 cm. As for the length, if it was too long, it would look like a regent when viewed from the side, so we looked for a product less than 2m based on the results of a careful simulation with an actual car. I tried to find a car with a length of less than 2 m based on a careful simulation of the actual car. I looked for a car with a length of less than 2 m based on a careful simulation of the actual car. After much searching, I found a product called “”Haplo Zenith 6.6,”” which is made in Holland and mounted on the Prius “”Cross”” this time.

    The dimensions are 37cm high and 191cm long, which meet the requirements. And the fact that we have never seen anyone with a Haplo on the roof of a Prius before is a big plus. The roof bar is a Surrey wing bar, as Haplo was not available for the Prius.

    What I particularly like is the beautiful styling when viewed from the side. I like the way the lines are made to look thinner and more streamlined. The advantage and disadvantage of using this product is its tight seal, which requires some skill and power when opening. Once that is cleared, it is very precise when opening and closing, and closes semi-automatically with a “”pop”” at the end.

    I was worried about wind noise and fuel consumption after installation.　I was wondering if it would affect the wind noise or fuel economy, but the wind noise is not zero, but it might be a little louder. I honestly think that fuel consumption has decreased slightly, maybe by 5%. I think so, by about 5%. However, considering my lifestyle, I do not consider this to be a problem, as it is within an acceptable range.

    I am immersed in a world of self-satisfaction, thinking that this is a model change that is kind to my body and enriches my lifestyle. However, I am still far from the Prius Cross that I envisioned…so I will proceed with the project with the aim of completing it by the end of this year.”
