I like this but I have no clue were those dials are from, but I am really excited you are goign ahead with this!
Honda Beat for time to get away from stress and the big bad world.
Fantastic.
I have been very fortunate that my Beat responds without hesitation to my agressive driving and that it continues to offer that "over the shoulder" look - you know, after parking it and walking away, one final appreciation glance is an involuntary movement developing a smile. The Italian lines -Pininfaria.
Now, re the 'sleeper' powerplant installation. Provided with the proper chassis rigidity improvements are attended to, the handling capability will push the scale. Will the rear wheelwells be cut to allow 'meat' inside the stock finders? Also, will the front suspension be alltered (narrowed) to allow fatties inside these fenders? Ignorant of the street legal requirements, are you persuing track and street? Pls document the design progession.
Have patience.
excellent news em - glad to see progress being made! look forward to seeing more updates to your blog.
ill give kenzo a prod today for you
just prodded him - think you'll hear from him today mylee.
em - will send you a pm
should look very cool when finished
Love your comment about admiring your destruction
What influenced your choice of engine? Just curious cos I would've thought the K20 was the more obvious choice.
<<<<<<<VERSION Z>>>>>>
>>>gone, but not forgotten<<<
From the pic it looks like a h22, am I right?
You'll have a problem with traction, cause you'll have too much power. I know most wouls say there is no such thing but I'm serious. The 1.5 vtec 130 bhp would be enough.
I was driving a vti which is much heavier and she was still spinning in 2nd gear.
Just a thought

I have a dream
It's the H22A7, and don't panic we have considered these things.
I'm going to have to learn how to drive it, but we're putting wide wheels on the back hence the wide arch kit. Won't illiminate the problem but will help.
We'll also be altering the KPI angle to give us a larger scrub radius to help grip and road feedback

Wow thats overkill. Goodluck and be carefull.
I have a dream
Please excuse my ignorance. What is an H22A7?? Is it out of a Type R?
Girl, you got cojones... Astonishing.
I am very scared by the prospect, but salute your ambition.
I'm interested in your change in kingpin (steering axis) inclination, as I studied suspension, steering and vehicle dynamics at uny. Are you increasing the angle to help compensate for wider tyres, and if so, how? I guess the only option is to fractionally lengthen the wishbone, as moving the strut mount at the top would require a lot of work. I'm surprised it's worth it for the effort required in making longer wishbones.
