The mechanical side of this Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 2WD

Under it is the EF-VE, a fuel-injected 660cc 3-cylinder twin-cam engine. EF variants ran the full range from twelve-valve twin-cam to simple single-cam versions, depending on what the vehicle was for. The EF-VE drives through an automatic gearbox.

The 2000 Hijet in context

The S200P code puts this 2000 Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 2WD in the ninth-generation Hijet, produced between 1999 and 2007. The Hijet was built to be maintained by its owner rather than by a dealer: the seats tip forward, the engine is right there, and the service points are deliberately obvious. The Hijet has been in continuous production since November 1960, which makes it the oldest surviving kei nameplate — and in 2021 it took a Good Design Long Life Design Award, a first for Daihatsu.

What a Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 2WD is good for

A Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 2WD is not a substitute for a full-size pickup so much as a replacement for the trips where a full-size pickup was always overkill. Built in 2000, this Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 2WD is 26 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity.
