I'm importing a CRX now as I couldn't find a Beat :)
Wanted another Beat.
I really can't tell what's for sale and what's not in the for sale section.
Must be in full working order electrically and mechanically and hopefully with a timing belt...
Hi Catherine,
IIRC (it was 4 years ago :D) I got the mounting brackets with the changer.
They're easy enough to fit too.
The most difficult & time consuming part is routing your cable.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a No.1 cylinder sensor? Also called a crank angle sensor.
My old Beat has been sat collecting dust in a garage for nearly a year, whilst the mechanic working on the car...
Hi,
after selling my Beat approx 10 months ago, I find out the new owner hasn't driven it for 3 months because of a problem.
It starts occaisionally, then dies after running. Then sometimes it...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
I still read the posts on this site with interest, although I've sold my Beat.
But who knows, I might get another Beat in the future, I miss...
Hi Ade,
The Beat is still the most involving car I've ever driven and I will miss it, lots. I didn't want to sell it, but I needed something more practical.
I tried to go shopping in my Beat,...
Hi all,
Well I've finally done it.
I've sold my Beat and bought a 1990 CRX VTEC. It has 50,000 miles from new, FHSH and is in mint condition.
I'll post some pics when I can.
Dion.
Steve,
I hope that isn't the timing belt after you've just rebuilt your engine
:eek:
Hopefully it's the one you removed from your misfortune at the track day.
Dion
Hi John,
Can't wait 'til the next Beat meet to have a close look at your Civic Type R.
I'm saving up for one.
I should have it in approximately 5 years! :(
It was Andy & me you were...
Hi,
It's Ok to have 14" wheels on the front as long as the offset is right and you have 165/60/14 tyres on them.
Dont know the correct offset, sorry.
Dion
Hi all,
My Beat's got 97,000 kms on it and running sweetly.
Dion
Hi you 2,
I travel 120 miles a day, to and from work in my Beat. It's mainly on dual carriageways & motorways. Around 105 miles.
I do 70 - 80 mph for the whole jouney. (Approximately 6200 -...
Thanks Steve,
All I could find was clear acrylic too. I'll see if I can get some old lenses from a scrap yard or something.
Yours look really good, by the way.
Thanks for your help.
Dion.
Steve,
Is there any chance of you sending me 2 clear lenses cut to the correct size to put in my side repeaters.
Or could you tell me where to get the clear plastic from, cut to the correct...
Steve,
Thanks for the info. I'm seriously thinking of getting a VTEC in the near future.
I'll let you know when I do.
Dion
Hi Ade,
Sorry to hear that you haven't found the problem with your Beat.
It can be very frustrating as my friend, Adrian found out.
But he's having more serious problems with his Beat now....
Hi Steve,
Glad to hear you've got your Beat running again. I bet you missed it!
Can you tell me what a MK2 CRX VTEC is like to live with?
Running costs, 0-60 times, MPG etc
I've had a Jap...
Hi all,
I know his site can appear quite blunt and imposing.
Maybe, because I'm from Yorkshire, I'm more used to this type of behaviour, as most people here are blunt and sarcastic.
I have...
Hi Cubster,
Why don'y you give Yasuo at Trendy information a try.
I'm sure he can find you the car you're looking for.
He found my Beat for me, he's good and quite cheap too.
Email him at...
Hi Steve,
When his mate changed the No.1 cylinder sensor, I'm not sure he took the crank pulley off.
But, I wasn't paying that much attention.
He did use a pneumatic drill on something...
Maybe you're right.
I'll have a word with him and try and twist his arm, ever so slightly :D
Andy says hi and thanks for your help and directions.
Dion
Hi,
I've just been told that the red Beat in the previous pics has thrown a wobbly.
The crank pulley has come off, no doubt, causing thousands? of pounds of engine damage.
I don't know the...
