My Winter Project - 1991 Honda Beat


Exodus

Recommended Posts

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.

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 :p

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

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.

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. :p 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.

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.

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

Cool I wonder if there is another Beat in town. I haven't been in that area with my Beat.

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. I did drive with my lights on to be seen easier though lol

Yeah that must have provided some pucker moments!

 

 

The beats are super cool, nice score.
