Quality shirt he had on for the Alfa test :ymca: :gayfight: :ymca:

Funny that considering who used to own rover! :p

Yeah you are right. The Wife has a little 107 :p 998cc and that's £35 a YEAR! The Beat and other Kei class cars should be at least in this band or better still, free.

In typical 'Dick Turpin' stylee the government charge £110 a year, even though the car is 660cc :evil:

Now sitting in my garage :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I'll look out for you mate when you get these on, being local to one another. Silver EP3 with 18" Kei Velocity in hyper black if you see me about.

Ruined a perfectly nice beat.

Litchfield imports have them listed at £23K ;) http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/civic.asp

Have a look over on Detailingworld.co.uk and you'll soon realise that there are quite a few of these people about.

Nice one on fleabay at the moment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3APIC&viewitem=&item=290095330330&rd=1&rd=1 Not sure on the insurance, but being 660cc, me being 35 with max NCB, it ain't gonna be to much, sub £300 hopefully

Well here she is in the metal, just waiting for a boat now.

Gotta agree I'm afraid, ^^^^^^ that has been ruined. :( I can appreciate the work that has gone into that, but there's no way I'd cut and shut an Escort body kit onto any car, let alone some thing with the lines of a Beat. Each to there own I suppose.

I've just bought a Honda beat through Autoadvan. I found Terence and Tony really helpful. All will become apparent when it arrives in about 6 weeks, but working on what's happened so far these guys are 100%

Yeah I am looking forward to it, just need to get a few jobs done on it through the summer. I think it will need undersealing and a service before any serious driving. I'd like to get the seat sorted out as well, but know it will be a mission as the cloth isn't available and I didn't really...

I've been looking on and off for ages. Couldn't find much in the UK so went direct to Japan. That piccie is for ref only. I've got a 1995 silver beat with 36 000KM, one owner with service history. Last model version, so alloys and spoiler with AC. Lands in the UK in about 6 weeks. Only reported...

Lands in about 6 weeks :D

Stop posting these pictures, makes me what one even more :p :p :p I'm gonna ask the guy on ebay about the engine and take it from there. Didn't really want to spend over £3200 and for that I wanted a nice example in RED!!!!

Nice, liking those wheels. I'd seen the posts about oxted trimming on the forum and the trick to make the seals firmer. Have you looked at the silver one for sale on ebay? Looks in good condition, although overpriced...

That's good to hear. Seems like they all suffer with the leaky roof. But my plan is to keep it garaged and use it in roof down mode! :cool:

I've had a test drive, that's why I keep coming back! I've had a good read on the beats forum, have you had any of the 'typical' problems, ecu, distributor, roof? I appreciate these cars are now between 10-15 years old but I'd like a good original example. And that's my plan, to return it to how...

Yeah I would like one, looked many times before. But now I'm in a position where I can afford to have one for fun. There seems to be loads of yellow ones about, but the wife hates yellow. I'd like red personally, seems a nice silver one on ebay at the moment but it seems a bit pricey at £3700...

I've used this stuff in the past. It's a very oily wax so a little goes a long way. It gives good results but isn't very long lasting. I'd try and give the car a second layer of P21 within 24 hrs. As said previously best results are obtained in the prep, not in the final waxing.Clay bar...

Specialist that import / sell them. I'm reading up on the beat forum at the moment, but it seems fairly quiet. I appreciate I'm not gonna find a garage with a dozen in to choose from but I'd like as much choice as possible. Any useful links?

I've looked at a few beats over the years. Would still really like one, although they are getting fairly old now. Are there any specialist out there or is it just a matter of right time right place?

Wing and rear bumper spoil it for me

It's all in Japanese :P :P :P :P

But this is a semi synth ( i think) Should be using a fully synth after the first service

Problem being is that the Oil Honda use is shite. Get your self some Silko Pro S in there matey.

:lol:

Get the vin number and check to see that it's had any warranty issues resolved. I think you can still do this on the honda website, failing that any half decent stealer will help you.

Nice results, but once again on a black car. What's the stuff like on silver or white?

What's the heads up on this stuff? cleaner, polish, wax???

I'm suffering this problem, but on a 53 plate facelift. I've had the car 4 wheel checked and both rears are miles out. I have over 8 months of warranty remaining but my dealer is saying that if it's a rear arm problem then it would've shown up within the first year and is refusing to entertain...

Nice wheels, sh!te colour

Now that would look 8) on my CTR. Never really fancied the natural black carbon against my silver CTR. Nice find fella.

My supplying dealer is Scouse side :lol:. Grays Essex, today was G & M in Gravesend. I thought there was a 'good' dealer in Canterbury, thanks for that info. Is Neil the service manager?

After having some tyre problems pointed out to me at my last service, I went to my local Honda dealer today as my supplying dealer is a few miles away. Now I know why I avoided them in the first place. The most unhelpful man on the planet works for my local Honda dealer, in service, dealing with...

What years your motor mate?

Thanks for the info Neily. I'm back at the stealers next week for my new alloys, I'll ask them to check the arms then, although I know they will say they are OK, I have very little faith in my dealer :( You would think the service manager pays for repairs out of his own pocket :lol: My car...

It's difficult to explain, but they left the car on the ramp and showed me. It's on the inner tread of the pots, the tread pattern is block like. When you turn the wheel the tyre feels 'bumpy' like every other block of tread is worn differently. What I don't want to do is replace both tyres for...

Just had my 25k service and I've been advised that both my rear tyres are out of shape. This could explain the wheel bearing type noise I seem to get at 50-60 mph although there isn't any noticable vibration. I am going to approach my stealer and register this as a warranty issue, failing that...

Reakon you've answered yourself there matey - off to CPL is probably the best bet.

Honda have come up trumps and agreed to replace all four wheels under warranty due to corrosion. Really didn't think I was going to get anywhere as they aren't that bad. Interestingly my car is a 53 plate facelift with the supposedly 'improved' wheels. Just have to train Mrs Mylee now that...

Are they refurbing them back to 'standard' colour? I've used Spit and polish in the past with superb results and thought this would be well within their capabilities.

Plenty of Tegs available to :twisted:

Hi Catz, I'm 33 driving a 53 plate with induction kit and magnex declared. No accidents but an SP30, 4 years ago. Max NCB. Wifes on it to, she's 27. ME3 postcode, which is average. Last year I paid £530 with elephant. No Change in circumstances renewal came through at £790...

HOW FOOKING MUCH :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Nice. Makes me wish I'd gone for a teg now :cry: :cry:

Ok, here's the picture...... Insured with Elephant last year £548. I'm 33, 10years NCB, 3points sp30, wife (whose 27) to drive, Magnex catback and Simota induction kit declared. Had a clean year but get a renewal for £797!!!!!! Logs onto the Elephant website for a fresh quote, just...

I use this stuff. It is very oily and is really for a show car shine as it 'wears' off easily. Personally, I apply two coats of nxt wax 24 hrs apart, then top off with some 21S. It's very easy to apply and remove, look to pay about £17 - £20 a pot.

Sorry to hijack your thread monkey boy.....but tommy can you give me some info your your HID light conversion, Cheers bud.

After you've clay'd the car go for a pure polish before the wax. Meg's #7 is ideal, you'll notice the difference. NXT can be layered, so add another coat 12- 24 hours after the first. This will protect your polished finish for longer.

Doing a full meg's work out between 8 - 10 hours But then that's what I thought nightshift's were for...........
