Well, my 1990 Civic Sedan got wrecked at the beginning of this month, so I bought another car...a 1991 Honda Beat! Original paint, slightly over 50K miles, runs great, a blast to drive...I love it.

I'm going to try really hard to be at the V on the first Thursday in March with the Beat.
I just washed it and took some pictures with the top down:

I've seen this on a Facebook group...I mean I don't know of any other Honda Beat owners. I guess I'll catch it at the GT Auto Show then?
Nice car!
wow, i have never seen one of those before. u should swap in a b18c1 in there. or just turbo it. is there alot of aftermarket support for it?
Yeah, I added some pictures to GT Auto Enthusiasts group on Facebook or some group like that...also I Love My Honda (I'm the mod on that group).I've seen this on a Facebook group...I mean I don't know of any other Honda Beat owners. I guess I'll catch it at the GT Auto Show then?
Nice car!
I will have it at the GT Auto show. See you there!
Yes, swaps will fit with some encouragement - the guy I bought it from is prototyping a B-series swap kit. I, however, do NOT want to swap this car, as it's a joy to drive as it is, and swapping in a huge B-series motor kind of hacks the car up. There is lots of aftermarket support for this car, however, it's all Japanese. There is a turbo kit available, but again, I'm not interested in doing that - the car is perfect as is in my opinion. I may eventually want to get the Mugen hard top for it...it's a very nice piece.
Back Yard Special sold their beat on USA eBay a few weeks back, something like $32,000 with a B18C swap and all the BYS goodies they made for the car.
wow, i didnt even know this exsisted. what motor is in it?
E07A - 656cc inline 3-cylinder, SOHC, 12-valve engine, MPFI, ITB's. It's mid engine RWD. It makes 64 bhp @ 8,100 RPM and weighs 1670 lb.
That is cool as all hell...
i have always wanted one but assumed i would never find it. great find.
i wasa about to say it reminded me of a new MR2!!!!
3 cylinders + rwd+ 64bhp= slower than a miata...man i would def. built the motor or somethin...still a nice lookin car
wtf lol ive never seen that.. thats tight! you need to hook it up..
Yeah... slower than a miata if you're trying to DRAG RACE. But faster on a mountain pass or twisty back road. I'm surprised not alot of us know about the Beat, or City, or Ascot, Edix, Elysion, Concerto, Saber, Today, Torneo, Vigor, Rafaga, and Logo.
Yep... all those cars are Hondas. Most never made it to the states, or came under the guise of another car. There's alot of Honda cars out there.
More skills than you can handle... mountain wa subarashii desu ne... honto.

I didn't buy this car so that I could be faster than a Miata.
Plus 64 bhp @ 656cc = 98 specific bhp - that's more than a B18C1. I'm very happy with the car the way it is.

i saw this car on gran turismo
Do something about those wheels though...please...
You know, I thought about it, but I think I'm going to leave the Pepper Pots on there - at least for a while (I just bought new rubber for them).

Mostly all little ugly ass cars though...
By you saying that I can tell you know nothing about those cars. For instance... 2 of those I mentioned in there are Minivans. Others, luxury sedans and coupes...
What sucks about the online thing is that you reaaalllyyyy gotta do your research before you post... if not... you make yourself look like a... well... you know...

bhwhahahahh read my post you fucking jackass I said "mostly". But shit, even the VANS were ugly and not so big either.. Yes, I dont know much about them, But I have read and seen some pictures.. but enough to know, THEY ARE UGLY.
Honestly, I careless about all those pieces of shit anyways.. theres a reason why they didnt make it to the U.S.. even the vans and all the "so call luxury" are crappy ass old shitty cars.
But I know you are a fan.. thats cool..... I mean, I see you drive and old school Lude... So I Understand.
So take your own advice , MR I THINK I KNOW IT ALL
"What sucks about the online thing is that you reaaalllyyyy gotta do your research before you post... if not... you make yourself look like a... well... you know..."
Im not just a noob around the block.......
WOW i have only seen this in video games lol!! Nice i wonder what the 1/4 mile time would be???
you're not?Im not just a noob around the block.......
~flees~
Val RIP
Yeah seriously, I mean its not like Julio owns the fucking site, or knows anything about cars....What sucks about the online thing is that you reaaalllyyyy gotta do your research before you post... if not... you make yourself look like a... well... you know...
uhh..i dont even know what to say..never seen one...
Your reason for why they didnt make it to your U.S. is completely subjective. Never said or thought I knew it all. I just know a little about Honda's motor vehicle history and other Japanese "things".
There's really no need to call me a jackass just because I said you were wrong. In retrospect, perhaps my comments were subjective as well. But when you really think about it, they're factual. I didnt call them "cool" luxury cars or "fast/big" mini-vans/coupes. I try to stay clear of adjectives when talking about stuff I dont know everything about.
To save face and prevent this guys nice thread from becoming a pissing match I might as well just yield and say yeah... Julio's right... they're mostly ugly and the reason why the didnt come to US soil is because they're crappy or whatever else. But if you think about it, why, up until now, has the Skyline, TVR or Garaiya never seen U.S. soil at a mass produced/publicly retail level? The answer lies in the same reason why other Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, Suzuki's, etc, never made it to the US soil past or present.
And for a side note... I love cars... not just Honda. look at the history of all my posts... I've never bashed a single car for its factory made splendor. I'm not an opinionated person.
I digress.

Not VTEC....MTREC!!!
Personally, the reason *I* believe the Beat wasn't brought to the USA is because it filled a particular niche in Japan - it's a Kei car - a car designed to have small physical dimensions, have 64 bhp or less, and have an engine displacement below 660cc (like the Suzuki Cappuccino and the Autozam AZ-1). These cars exploited a loophole in Japanese law that allowed them to be parked on streets - see what I mean? This car was designed FOR inner city Japanese commuters.
I have always wanted one because it's a mid-rear Honda, and I can't afford an NSX, and because of it's rarity. Also, if you don't beat the tar out of it while you're driving it (which is actually hard to resist), you get some very decent gas mileage. Fun when you want it, economy when you want it - and a Honda? - that's EXACTLY what I have been looking for.
