Newbie here, hello from Canada!

[Whitesol]

Just dropping in to say hello and share my Beat project with you all. I'm not one for keeping things stock so after owning my beat for only 4 months I pulled the E07A out in favor of a different platform. Unlike Honda in the UK, the dealerships here only scratch their heads when I give them Beat parts numbers.
So for my first swap I've opted to use a B-series engine, a 1993 B16a SIR II to be specific. The majority of the swap is now complete, and I should be up and running very soon.

My Honda-tech build/Beat info thread can be found HERE

Regards,
-Scott

Hey Scott, I've been watching your build and I like your style.

[unclejemima]

Sick build man. I too have been watching your build and drooling in awe.
Hey, are you from Calgary?

The motor is N/A, right?

Keep up the awesome work, and keep us posted!

Yep I am in Calgary, the engine is ready for forced induction but it won't be turbocharged or supercharged while I have it.

If you're out here too we should set up a Beat cruise in the spring (if we get a spring), I'm in contact with a few other Beat owners in Alberta.

As soon as this is finished you'll be sending me your address
I thought you were still running though? Did you have some sort of catastrophic engine failure?

[maiku]

i think the clutch seals failed
i couldn't release it
had to get it towed home

[Whitesol]

That sucks, it could be 1 of 4 things

From most to least likely..
-clutch master cylinder failure
-clutch slave cylinder failure
-broken clutch pressure plate
-bent shift fork (internal component of the transmission)

Very unlikely its all that bad, if its one of the cylinders, just rebuild it with a new seal, look at the parts manual its the same as an accord if I remember.

But try for the moment putting some fluid in there and bleeding it.

If its original honda, its not gonna be the plate or fork
