Hi all,
I researched this a hell of a lot and was then sent the wrong parts by a scrapyard that swore blind they were right. Well they weren't, they sent me the calipers and carriers for 260mm Discs...
Thanks for that, I have spent some time measuring and researching, the ones to use are the 2002 to 2004 Honda Jazz gdi1/2 240mm. I think they went to 260mm after that. It is not a conversion for the...
Hi all,
I have decided to repair the front panel of the Beat after cracking it underneath last year. Whilst I am doing this I want to carry on with the 240mm vented brake conversion for the front...

Hi, I am in Cornwall, my car is up for sale at the mo (ebay), but, I have just spent the best part of a week on checking all the signals and sensors going into the ECU prior to having the ecu tested...
Thanks Steve, full resistance read at the ecu, will check the cam sensor pins today, the ecu is like new inside, no swelling from the capacitors and no leakage although one of the brown ceramic...
Hi Steve,
I was looking at the cam sensor, behind the top cam sprocket, and pins d5 and d6, as I believed that was where code 8 was sending me as, are you saying that it is probably the tdc sensor...
Hi all,
I have fault code 8 showing and am just going through the voltage checks to the sensor, I am getting signal from the sensor when it is disconnected so am looking at the voltage and earth...
I am considering selling my Honda Beat, this is the Beat that did the Rally from Cornwall UK to Dubrovnik in Croatia in 2014, and back via Hungary, Slovakia, Czch republic, Austria and back through...

Hi, I have eventually got round to checking clearances on this 262mm brake conversion, (We hibernated in Spain this year! so things got put off for a while) I have a spare front hub so I can mount it...

Hi, I am interested in the release bearing if you want to sell separately!
I now have a pair of calipers for 262 discs from a crx sri del sol and will find out if they fit later today then just to worry about the discs if they do!
OK I've been dragging my head back to the 80s when I used to do mods like this for a living, and the question comes to mind...... what about the master cylinder, the fluid displacement will be...
Can you let me know which fits please?
There is supposed to be a fairly easy conversion using some civic discs, I'm looking to, hopefully, get vented ones, for the front. The final drive is where I am having research problems, I could do...
I saw that a while back not quite as "in your Face" as mine, Decals are on till the end of November then it will be the naked yellow beat for a while.
Thank you. I'll be in touch as I will start fundraising for this after Xmas. Looking for info on Final drives, at present I think it is 5.7:1 and would prefer it around 4.9:1, and alternative front...
To be honest I think I need to get the cruising speed better, I am now looking for info on possibly changing the final drive to get 80mph revs down to nearer 5500rpm, this will get the top end...
Cheers Gavin, It was some journey, We find out on the 8th Nov where we are going next year. My money is on either Gibraltar or Lisbon! Open to anyone who wants to raise money for charity. The Beat,...
