Hello from Melbourne, AU

Hi from Melbourne, Australia!

My name is Michael and I own a carnival yellow Honda Beat, which I bought over 5 years ago.

It has a couple of the optional extras, like spoiler, gathers speakers, sub, fog lights, etc. and I've loved every moment in it. Unfortunately the stock suspension is a bit too rolly-polly to be quick on the skidpan, but I still have lots of fun when I take it out to events.

Unfortunately I'm at a stage where I'm not looking to spend money on it at the moment (house + kids + other things) but as soon as I'm financially able to, I'd like to start giving it a bit of TLC and add some modifications to it. For the moment, any surplus funds go into my other car which is an Integra Type R.

Hope to hang around here to learn a couple of things about the beat and of course, make some new friends :)

Cheers,

Michael

I've tried fixing the pictures in this thread - do they come up now?

There aren't that many beats in Oz - a handful came over before our import laws changed in 2003. I'm not sure about the exact number but you don't see many of them on the road. I think NSX's are more frequently up for sale (currently 1 for sale on www.carsales.com.au) than beats.

Pics working..:cool:

I can see what you mean about rolly-polly, looks like your scraping your drivers mirror off the ground ha

That DC5 is savage too the spoiler really sets it off, nice to see both of them getting tracked
