Well like I said, I'm patient and won't be actively looking to scratch that itch until April.

Edit: Yes I know april is only 2018, I'm saying I won't even be actively looking for the new fun toy until then.

This is probably the first time this week I've had something come up on Jalopnik's Facebook page that I hadn't seen already elsewhere: Apparently, Honda will be making Beat spare parts still, which I guess makes owning one easier long term.

Not sure how much they're planning, but I assume it'll be primarily stuff that's common failures which they've had the most enquiries about :

I saw that while I was browsing at work but couldn't get the link to properly share here on my phone. Very cool of them.

This thing looks fun, shame about the decals being gone. Not sure if the front seats are better or worse than the original.

KakerMix posted:

Those front seats are original, in at least those are the types that would have come in that car. Might have been swapped with other ones at some point but those are Alto Works RS-* seats. The decals being gone is a crime and probably due to being repainted. Why they replaced the original steering wheel is beyond me, it isn't like it's some big airbag one, it looks quite a bit like this aftermarket one they have. Could have replaced it due to wear.
It also doesn't have any mention of timing belt* but it might be in the service history they have. As I recall there have been two of these before that have come up on BaT, one didn't meet it's reserve and the other one was sold as a no reserve but the seller pulled out and was banned from BaT.


*In the comments it looks like the seller is saying the previous owner had it done? Normally it's a metallic sticker they plop on the timing cover itself but it might be the sticker on the frame of the car just in front of the cover.

We seriously bounced this back and forth for the last hour and I decided not to bid. I'll probably regret it later but I really like the RS/Z's styling more so in 2019 you're gonna find me one of those.

While they don't come up often they still do come up so you shouldn't worry too much. Besides you might find something else that you like in that time!

I am in love with the idea of a tiny car like this. I figure whatever I do in the spring for a new car (BMW, Evo whatever) I can probably sack away enough cash for a Kei in no time.

Especially for getting it so cheaply. It has some faded paint which is nothing a fine spritz can't fix or go even lazier and just wrap it. It might need a timing belt done as there is no indication when the last time it was done and I'm sure it will be filthy dirty and it does look like it has some goofy seats installed. It's going to be a project! A project that can fit under my bed.
