Online Find: Honda Beat (Mugen, Volk, Spirit Racing, GAB, Cobra...)
I'm sure some of you have seen this particular car by now, but I was just recently browsing a site I go to every so often and just now saw it.
I thought some of you also might appreciate seeing some of the parts on this car.
The site says these are the parts on the car.
WTF is a Beat?
For those curious about the model itself, the Honda Beat was the last car okayed by Soichiro Honda. It's designed by Pininfarina, who sold the design to both Honda and MG Rover (who used it to build the MG F).
These cars were built from 1991 to 1996. The Honda Beat is a three cylinder, rear wheel drive, mid-engine vehicle with a 656 cc engine, 50/50 weight distribution, 100 hp / liter and a 8k rpm redline. This means the car only had 64 hp though.
About 33,600 Beats were made and every single one of them was equipped with a manual transmission.

This Honda Beat was built by Backyard Specialties. It eventually got shipped over here, and ended up on eBay (no less).
If I recall correctly, it sports a B18 turbo.
