Cheers Definitely a step up in power over the e46, the noise is also ridiculous , it has a hayward & scott exhaust, actually hope it passes the nct!
Good bit more comfortable too, has edc which seems to work well, my e46 was very rough with the intrax springs

What? Not sure if you are being sarcastic but how does a 2 ltr diesel have more power than a e46 M3?

Yeah I drove an e46 m3 once and found it quite harsh/crashy, but I was coming from a softly sprung car at the time which prob made it worse. That engine in the e92 is a peach, 8.2k rpm from 8 cylinders is nuts. I only recently found out its basically the same engine as the v10 with two less cylinders. Numbers add up as it's a 4l instead of a 5l, 8 cylinders instead of 10 and 400bhp vs 500bhp.

My new toy! She aint fast but she makes a lot of noise (9500 RPM) and is great fun to drive. Camera takes crappy photos as the colour in the photos look dull but the paintwork is perfect and very bright red.

Wow LIGHTNING love that Beat.
We could have a tiny Honda meet only for all the controversy it would cause!

Both of them drove around mondello on track days so you might have noticed them. . , can't link on my phone but if you search Honda beat on the desktop site you will find my last photos in an earlier version of this thread! 12 mths ish

Mine has gone a further distance, and my phone camera is worse than yours...

Taken yesterday, gave up trying to explain to the wife why I wanted a picture on exactly 100,000km....

You're revving yours a bit are you?

Temp sensor gone TFB?

I've never had a car new enough to get the elusive 80085 milage...

Those Beats are mad craic altogether. And that looks like a nice one. Well may you wear Sir.

Impressed at the Civic boot space. :eek:

The kilometers go nowhere, think there was 83k on it when i got it 5 weeks ago. And yeah, temp sensor is bunched, google says it's a handy fix, but effort.

Quite happy just driving it on.

Special Circumstances

There are at least 2 beats round limerick, yellow and silver. And a yellow suzuki cappuccino. Always nice to see something different :-)

Haven't seen any of them in a while though, insurance might just be impossible for some people these days. Although very close to where one beat used to park there is now a GT86 which would kinda work as a modern replacement!

I gave it the odd dusting and that helped, but I also rubbed also the purple stuff off it because it looked awful from the passenger side

Did a 2BM wash today, hoovered inside, washed the mats, cleaned windows inside and out, removed the Ford dealership sticker from rear window and applied a Viva La Vlog replacement :P

YbFocus

Sound for that

Noccy_Mondy

Noooo not Griffiths Motor Group! How will they get their free publicity now?!? :pac:

LorMal

Heres mine (the Blue Mazda). Imagine the driving fun I had when I finished my meeting in town the other day to find someone had decided to park rather close behind me.
I mean, really???

selous

Did you have to wait for said person to come back or was there enough room in front to get out, that's just irrrrritating that is.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I'd have made sure they didn't have a bumper left.

selous

My neighbour seriously yanking my chain on his fuel L/100km, mine uses this idling. :mad:

Chris_Heilong

Great beat, you should show everyone how mad the interior pattern is.

166man

Hitting the road at the end of the month which will be fantastic. Got new wheels, four new GoodYears and a thorough polish.

Not bad for 15 years old!

I remember when they were released and a friends old man was one of the first to get a demo one for a weekend,a fine car. There was an Alfa 33 in that family too that we commandeered as our car and young lads being young lads we nearly killed ourselves in it one night.

Almost 20k on the clock now

How you finding it I have a 162 TDI and find it has loads of torque for 150 BHP plus it handles very well, They made a nice job of the interior this time..

Love it can't really fault it tbh, it is a bit thirsty when the right foot is heavy but that's to be expected. I'm getting around 9k before I have to fill up the ad blue. I am missing some of the toys I had on the superb

Mrs Alfa Beta a little bit happy with her new wheels!

Camaro 2lt (a 3.5litre V6) - so not the big 5+litre V8 job, but still plenty of poke and sounds great when you put the foot down.

Big Nasty

Close, but no cigar.

To be honest I found the V8 very underwhelming for the horrendous fuel economy it returned.

Depends on where you live. I wonder how many ecoboost Mustangs are sold in the U.S. In comparison to the 8-pot.

Most of 'em appear to be poverty spec rentals. I had a go in the mustang and really underwhelmed by the 2.3T. On paper it seems great but the reality was it was uneconomical, unrefined and generally slow.

For full on unpleasantness you need a go-pro, and "california here we come" playing on the radio while you queue to drive down Lombard Street in San Francisco

Time for something a bit more geriatric.

Paid very little for this runaround and have to say, despite being 19 years old it's in great shape. Learned to drive in one so always had a soft spot for their dependability and although they do nothing in a hurry they're comfortable to slouch around in.

Just gave it a clean up today and removed the rear "Opel" and "Astra" badges (we all know what it is). Also mocked up a set of Cavalier SRi fanblades to see what it'd look like. I think they'd be a big improvement and seeing as I have 2 sets (the other is for the Cav) I may as well. Will probably throw a set of lowering springs in for craic and have it sitting nice in it's old man glory.

Nice one! New daily is it?

It is indeed! You shall probably see it floating about the area in no time :P

Have to do a wheel speed sensor on the beemer and sell that on. It is a lovely car but just never quite gelled with it. I'm much happier in an old Slowpel.

So if anyone is on the lookout for a 318is E36 feel free to message me as it'll be another while before it ends up on dungdeal

Duke O Smiley

Cool, yeah I'll have to get a look at it when I see it :P

Fanblades would look class too imo!
