Exodus Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Picked up this Beat last weekend. 57k miles. So far I plan to fix the 2 small dings in the passenger door and fix the bend in the hood where it meets the passenger door. After that I'll fix the sunfaded paint and will probably keep it red. From there who knows. Car is mechanically sound. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/f8e621b6fc2887157db59a0e44ac4af8.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/56f034ad69a8c750e0d4ad44e6c554b3.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/5b41762bc6227db2e53d4a05c0e3ad52.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/3ca56a343f19acbd219debb4136de282.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/990690ad6132d8de8456cf0740830bf2.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161123/c099dc3f72eb64fcdb393a82f713fdc8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Kinda weird. Is it legal to drive on the wrong side of the road like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMV titled it no problem. They even converted the km to mi for mileage on the title. Sent from my P027 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Dude, that's fucking cool. I'd love to see a Beat in person. Well done! Where'd you pick it up? Knee-jerk answer I'd guess is Japanese Classsics LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Dude, that's fucking cool. I'd love to see a Beat in person. Well done! Where'd you pick it up? Knee-jerk answer I'd guess is Japanese Classsics LLC Picked this up off an importer from Philly. They had a few skylines, and a DA5 Integra that I saw. A friend drove me out and I drove the Beat back 7 hours. It truly is a fun car to drive. I've always wanted a Beat and wasn't expecting to buy one anytime soon but I messaged about the Integra assuming they imported cars and asked if they could get me a Beat. They said they had one and it wasn't listed for sale but they made me a deal I couldn't refuse lol Sent from my P027 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Pretty cool! Never knew it existed until now. So small it would be a snap to correct. Add in some aftermarket wheels and it would kinda sharp/different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Can you recommend a body shop? Will probably do 14s. Anything bigger and it will rub. This has factory 13s in front and 14s in rear. Dent wise, I'd go Paintless with John Shrek at Sawmill/161 Dent Magic. He's amazing and his team can fix just about anything. I've used him several times. If you need body work, Kevin Clifford here on CR as extensive Honda Experience but he fixes everything. I've worked with Kevin too. Great work. If you want it detailed and brought back to life like brand new, call me. Hard to tell for certain the exact condition but it really just appears to be severe oxidation on single stage paint which can be corrected. I'll clean and seal up that convertible top too. See my sig. Happy to help. I've done a few car here from CR Folks. Many others too. I can whip that little thing out pretty quickly and have slots open in the coming weeks. I'll PM you some information. Save Edited November 23, 2016 by TTQ B4U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 You drove a 64hp kei car that is smaller than an original Mini Cooper 7 hours on the interstate next to giant ass 18 wheelers? You sir have balls that clank. Beats are really neat cars, I think mugen did a tuner version and had parts for them years ago, no idea what's still available.

BStowers023 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 was it a Honda Del Sol you saw instead? No lol it was definitely that thing in the OPs pics. Del Sol's aren't that rare. Looked up the Honda Beat. They're ugly but in a cool kind of way. I saw some videos of people that did CBR swaps... I'd say CBR swap with a turbo kit and some DR's and you've got a badass little thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Get "FERARI" shields done to have a little pony on them instead of a prancing horse, slap on hood and fenders.

You sir have balls that clank. Not as bad as it sounds. The car handles itself pretty well and loves the high rev ranges. I didn't have any issues with other cars.
