Vanagon Update 2025

I've spent years not quite starting the Subaru conversion.  Something has always held me back.. and there are various issues for me with this conversion.

  • I'm not a Subaru guy. 
  • Finding the ideal Subaru with the right year (1999-2004) with good mileage that doesn't need a full rebuild becoming hard.
  • The idea of having a donor at my house for a period od time doesn't really appeal.

I've always been intrigued by the Bostig.  As a vendor they seem to be doing this very well.. it's just the wrong engine.. until.. they picked a better one.

Honda K24Z

Oh my.  Yes please.  I have 3 Honda motorcycles and until recently had a 2001 Honda Civic beater.  I love all of them.  Honda is ultimate manufacturer.

 

My 1995 Honda VT1100C Cruiser that I've had for 15 years has never given me an issue.  It's a glorious motorcycle that is still in my life, even though I've since bought a Yamaha Royal Star (I want it out of here) and a Kawasaki Nomad (keeper!).

 

On top of that, KSeriesParts.com is just down the road here in Denver and I know the owner well.  Youtube series possibility on the conversion?

 

At an estimated $8k for the kit and $15k for the build - I can live with that.   Looking forward to this being a mature product by the time I cycle back to the Vanagon as my project obsession.
