I was interviewed by the owner at Montu Motors when I purchased my Beat and the video is finally up! Here is a link

The best part is I misspoke a few times about...
I made a detailed Step-By-Step guide that I posted here - should help anyone who wants to do the job!

Hello All,
I recently undertook replacing the timing belt, water pump, and associated pulley bearings and documented the entire process in the hopes of creating a definitive step-by-step guide on...
I'm in the middle of a timing belt change myself (but I broke a bolt off in the head so I've been on hold waiting for parts) and getting the right tension should be rather easy. Using the spring is...
Thanks for the replies guys!
So I inquired with JP-Carparts.com because the part cost isn't that bad if it is accurate. The price was a bit higher on LingsHonda but still rather good so they also...
So the title kind of says it all! I am in the middle of a timing belt change (which I have been documenting and will make a detailed how to with photos for the group) and I was reassembling things...
I'm 31 and I know a few of the US Beat owners are in their twenties, so it might be that one generation is about to pass the torch to the next generation.
Thanks everyone for the advice and compliments! I do have a plan to make a triangular brace from the lower points near the headlight where the spare tire sheet metal support is mounted and back to...
Great tip on the heat shielding, looks like some quality stuff! I chose to work on other things this past weekend as the car has been driving just fine with no fuses blowing. So one more week and I...
And after all that, here it is mounted in the car. I think it came out pretty well and it feels very solid. When driving the front end turn in feels a bit more crisp and a little of the body roll has...
These then got welded and everything test fit again. Due to some warpage during welding I needed to slightly bend the plates back into shape, and open the mounting holes a tad. After I was sure...

Then I prepped for welding on the car... the scary part. Covered everything even close, and disconnected the battery.

Tacked the pieces and then pulled them off to do the...
Went back outside to test fit the pieces and with a small amount of hand filing to help the fit (thanks to a wandering drill bit) they fit nicely over the threaded posts.

Once these fit...
Hey all!
While I am working on random little issues with my Beat I wanted to take some time to start modifying it to make it even more awesome. First up was an attempt at a custom strut tower...
Thanks for the info, I'll keep my fingers crossed for now that the pcb is actually okay. As for my idle problem, after a couple times driving it the idle has returned to around 1150 and the car still...
So I pulled the ECU again and determined the proper capacitor to get, and then proceeded to clean up the gunk. This after trying isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol, acetone, toluene, and finally...
Little update as I start more weekend work. Drove the Beat a few times this week with no problems, no gauge fuse issues and nothing else popped up. That might be the most frustrating part since it...
Thanks for the knowledge Gavin, I'll definitely plan on trying to replace and resolder that capacitor, and clean up the board. I haven't had the check engine light come on besides right before the...
Sending you a PM-
Now for the update.
Okay, so a bit of new information comes to light. I found the brake light was indeed full of water and the socket corroded so I drained the water, heated...
First off, big thanks to old'uns for a translated wiring diagram and some other bits of info, gonna come in handy this weekend.
My plans are to check out a variety of circuits for possible shorts...
Yes they are sir! They are one of the reasons I purchased this Beat, it already had wheels I loved :-)
Thank you for that great information! I found the wiring diagram in Japanese, still...
Hello All,
New member here! I've been reading the forum for a while now and just last weekend picked up by own Beat imported into the US. Super excited to say the least, but also concerned at the...
