Honda Beat (any Reviews?)

[Devinda_Z]

there was an ae86 red color that went for around 250K about 6 months back...

noooo i feel as though i want one!

hang on is this the one at the sale on the left hand side of Hill Street closing upto the bridge before the Nedimala fork? S*yline M*tors? Red n Black car?

it'd be an awesome project to do get an AE86 n do an Apex conversion with the fixed lights-White n Black like é "bunta" car or better yet Full Black as per the GT-APex Black Ltd Edition ....ah i man can dream...

Why, u wanna put in a round ? Had three straight wins before a guy working there challenged me and beat me. Close up to the last corner too

aaahh that would Probably be Roshan- dark bloke ya?

hmmm who u should really worry abt is this little chinese kid...he's insanely quick..but the guys who work there have beated the machine!

Peri wut say we drag - maybe next time for the AL outing we can organize a Initial D tournament!!!???

...anyone who looses or wants to redeem lost pride can take to the real streets after doing em touge runs in the virtual world!

@Fuzzo-i'll try n get é DVD's - only hitch is its in Japanese so kinda need to follow the subtitles for the Series,dunno how it is for the movie...

so then we on for Intial D racing chaps?!

Max says it had a 3A-GE. I'm not sure about that I think 4A-FE, but hey, it was some time ago.

machan its far away from where i stay to go see bro i'm trying to see if he can bring it do a closer location so i can check it - was very busy today - thats why i wasnt on é forums even & will be at lectures full day 2mrw - i'll try work out something on thursday to try have a look at the car ok

so sorry bro

@é MODS - pls remove if deemed unncessary - appologies

[fuzzo]

speaking of beats...there was one advertised inthe observer. it was not in the normal classified section, it was in the one of the other pages...look around..

I am happy to find you a good phone!

Dev-Z, this is the thought...

The Yellow one in Negombo was 18-xxxx and he asked for 650,000 and it had done nearly 150k kilometers. And even though it said it was 1st owner there was 1 owners involved (even our very own miniace was one). The Yellow car was not that much in good condtion too.

The other number you texted me was 1.2milon? Thats crazy man...A Honda Beat is max 700,000. Max max!! For 1.2milion any one will go for a EG8 which makes more sense. A Honda beat will be just for pleasure not for daily running so 1.2milion is not worth and he should be shot for quoting such a stupid price.

This one you said has a kit (which i dont realy want) and it supposed to be in good condtion. And the number seem to be good (in SL sense). He told me 675 in the beging and went down to 650 i dont why he started off by 700,000 price tag for you.

If you and Supra can give your comments it will be a great help as i need to spend 3 hours on the road to get there and i can come only in Saturday. Im too impatient But will look at it and make the corect decsion. Or else i should have easily got the Negombo Beat if i was too impatient.

Please let me know the outcome if possible. mail me on

speaking of beats...there was one advertised inthe observer. it was not in the normal classified section, it was in the one of the other pages...look around..

Yeah bro, that car wants bloody 1.2milion....Max should be 700,000. Probaly this is made from gold

[fuzzo]

1.2 mil is definitely too much for a beat...

[Hola]

1.2 mil is definitely too much for a beat...

Yeah. For a car which is 660cc, no PS, and no parts in the island a 1.2milion is absurd...

patience is a virture kiaya kiyanne vihiluwata nevey bung

no use rushing - u gotta wait for é right car - i see ur situ abt é distance - S_N & i will see wut we can do - but its easily 50km up n down minimum from where i am to there i'm guessing bro

Right car? I think there is only 20cars on the island or less.

oh no...50kms? Thats too far away for you lil bro. Then its ok, I thought since you are going to meet Supra for the bug today and Supra is a bit close by i thought it would have been easy for you. Thats ok, lets wait till Saturday then..I just cant wait till Saturday cause

1/.Im geting my mesh grill fixed

2/.The beat

Worried that the car will go away becuase the Negombo car beign 18 dash sold within 2 weeks...I wonder what the body kit is like..Becuase i just cant stand this NeXgen's comments..

Machang test it to the max, as a car worth 2milion, look for malakada, engine. And put it down to dirt cheap price. Give a offer like 595,000 and put his mentality down so on Saturday he will just giveup the car for me at any price i ask. But that all depends thats the car is good.
