Cant wait to see the Gingium's next video. "Turbo Hayabusa swapping my Honda Beat!"

That's my old Beat, glad to see it's still doing well.

Honda Fireblade engine. 999cc 214bhp at 14,500 rpm. 83 lb/ft at 12,500 rpm.

“You made my radio work!” “Yeah I turned it on” 😅 I love this channel. Easily my favorite car builder

"Greatest sports car of the 90s". You only said this because MX5 Miata came out in 1989 so is an 80s car. I understand.

that drag race was crazy! y'all almost broke the speed limit.

I know you said you weren't engine swapping it BUT there a some crazy potential Honda motorcycle engines you could put in this thing to keep it light, have a great driving experience and make wayyy more power. Off the top of my head, here are a few bikes that are somewhat plentiful with great motors: VFR800 (V4 with EFI and a six speed that revs to 13k and makes like 120hp), VFR1200 (big V4 with an optional DCT that makes like 175hp), Goldwing GL1800 (nasty flat-six with optional DCT in later years, buckets of torque, stupidly linear power delivery), CB650 (I-4 that is a little more linear than say a CBR600 or CBR1000). Those are a few off the top of my head, the V4s would make this thing sound like it's got a V8 and they're fantastic motors. Better yet, you could probably find wrecked examples or parts bikes for cheap of all of these and they shouldn't weigh much more and all but the 650 should make more than 100whp.

Caleb, I just want to take the the time to let you know that, in the 7 years I've been following and watching your videos, the quality and content you give us has always immensely improved video after video, you've become quite the fabricator/mechanic and content creator, it's amazing to see, must have been rough for a while when you just moved to Georgia and were looking for a shop but you've made it all work, thanks for your hard work and keep killing it dude, always exciting to see your vids! 🔥

Watching Gingium slowly become a Honda boy is fantastic. As originally a subie and mustang guy it took me a sec to realize how great Hondas are, and now I'm selling my Cobra for a third EG 😅

Love to see the Honda Beat getting this love. As an owner of a 1991 Honda Beat. Thank you

Can't believe as a Patreon I'm paying Caleb to miss his shifts. Come on man, you got places to be, if you'd hit that shift you'd get there 3, maybe 4 seconds sooner! 😂

That sounds…REALLYA GOOD?! I guess anything with ITBs will sound good but this three cylinder especially sounds so unique! Sounds like a mini E46 M3 lol.

Cold revving it at the start hurt my soul

imagine this little 3cy supercharged... The noises

I’m building a similar version of that but with a mid K24a2 Turbo. It’s a 1970 Honda Z600 kei car (it’s a hair smaller than a Beat). It has a roll cage too.

reminds me of the beat with a b series (i think) swap that was the talk of the forums some 10ish years ago. Edit: It was by a company called "Back Yard" in Japan, and they put a B18 in their Beat (Back Yard Special Beat). They still sell some parts for the Beat

don't give it the beans with a cold engine 😭

Love how excited you are for your builds and the types of cars you're into. Even when I'm not into them, your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep it up, bro!

Let's go!!, centrifugal compressor on da Beat(?)

For skipping a week I expected a 30min long video 😢, still stoked on the beat tho. Put a 1000cc bike motor in it😂 would love to see that happen

Between the lighting in the new space and the rolling shots this channel has really leveled up.

i know you said you don't want to engine swap it, (well i dont know what counts as a crazy engine swap) but i would love to see you swap a yamaha mt-09 engine into it since that is also a 3 cylinder motorcycle engine with almost 120 hp

The BEAT is here!

I read that and thought it was going to be an s2000, I wasn't let down tho this is just as cool

Really excited for this! I imported my Beat last year and it's such a fun car.

Absolutely love the honda beat and am building one into a race car, i look foward to seeing the next videos

Damn such a dope car. Cant wait to see this car evolve. Your builds are always so sick

sick edit for the intro! never knew beats sounded this good 👍👍

Me personally id pick the Cappucino but im very excited for the video's!

Sick buy, Ive been eyeing a Beat for a while now.

Those lil honda beats are so damn cool! Can’t wait to see what you do to it!

Sounds awesome!

Love the intro man! PREEMIUM!

Love these cars but would look much better with a hard top

The editing in this video is just -chefs kiss- the pace of the video feels so natural

I can’t wait to see what you do with the beat and can’t wait to see the fit being dyno

Pro tip… don’t take it on a road trip where it sits at 7,000 rpm for hundreds of miles. May not be good for the engine’s health. 😂😂

How does he not have a couple million subs, the shop set up, the video quality, content all top tier

The wheels are way too big, needs some 13x7’s with small tires, it will shorten the gearing even more.

That does look like a fun car! It was funny to see how low HP it was in comparison to the Miata, but sometimes that's oddly more fun. It sounds fast though lol.

That intro was the coolest intro I've seen. Nice job man such a good video!

You really gave it a BEAT-ing at the start.

Great video editing great video very cool car

Aftermarket rods pistons and boost. This set up is perfect it just needs a little love. Long time viewer it's crazy to see how far you've came

Haha, that lil car is so cool, can’t wait to see you wrench on it. 😂

Was literally just checking if you uploaded!

So stoked on this 🔥

Been a fan since you were painting the rx7 I'm excited to see all the progress you've made man

You have impeccable taste, I own a boosted NA Miata and have been drooling over the Beat for awhile. Stupid NY doesn’t want to register Kei cars. Congrats!

I want a cappucino. Just for added turbo noises. But these beats are a blast to drive! Congrats mate!

Good ole Gingium video! Can’t wait to see what you do with this thing. I see a future where you buy a Suzuki Cappuccino 😎

This build is gonna be amazing❤

Dude that intro was so good!

Double the torque, triple the power, add 1/3 to the rev range, then give it 200tw tires and some 15x8 RPF1s or equivalently light and cool-looking wheels wherein you put ever so slightly stretched tires for maximum handling. (The formula for tire fitment is wheel width in inches * 24 to 32 = tire section width in mm. Right in the middle around 26-28 being ideal.)

1987 camry 337,XXX miles and counting. Shes the base model too so its a dream come true to work on. 😊 Got it when i was 16 and even sold my foxbody a few years back and kept the camry AKA the shit box instead. 😂 Funny how life works out. I choose to drive my 87 camry every day instead of my 23 elantra N ❤. In all honesty this car is perfect. Nothing else compares. I can see that you found your "camry" with this little honda. 🥲

Very cool car and an awesome acasition.

Edit goes hard 🔥

Idk if you've ever experienced an MR2 (SW20 and above), but I'd argue that you'd love it even more than this and maybe even the Miata

Sick! Beats are awesome. That thing would look SO GOOD with some bronze 14" (give or take, smaller probably looks more right) watanabe type r wheels on it. What are the current wheel specs? Stoked for the beat episodes!

From forza games to playing forza in real life, been a while since I seen one of your vids but good to see you doing what you love man

Yianni is a god at tuning! Very good guy 👍👍

You might want to upgrade the rear brakes too. If they haven't been upgraded with the fronts the brake bias will be off, and while usually that's not a huge deal to shift it frontward, on rear heavy cars it manifests as the fronts locking prematurely which is really frustrating and can result in very poor braking. You won't be able to band-aid the bias of the existing system with a proportioning valve (they only take away from the rear). You could only change bias with a dual master balance bar setup. But obviously I'd suggest upgrading the rear brakes to a larger diameter and/or caliper such that the bias is correct.

Revving it mad cold

Been up there to that dyno before.. bunch of good dudes out there.

damn that's one of the best sounding cars i've ever heard, i truly love the sound

It's funny just a few weeks ago I just bought I think the cheapest Honda Beat in the country right now at $3k, and as much as I wanted to fix up the engine it's looking like it's actually going to be cheaper to stuff a reliable 4-cylinder bike motor into it instead. So I commend you for sticking with the OEM motor, but I'm also looking forward to how much fun and how stupid this thing is going to be...Also, because I'm going to be building it as a rallycross car.

The small car king! Im fully invested now

Digging the yellow lights and rims.

you saw the tachometer. 10k rpm redline. you know deep down , down in the abyss of your heart, your soul is screaming for a screaming 10.000 rpm revving K series

That intro was amazing.

Gingium next video: "I see a cool air intake. It's got a NOS fogger system and a T4 Turbo, Dominic. I see an AIC controller. It has direct port nitrous injection." Just be careful that hundred shot of NOS doesn't blow the welds on the intake!

what a dope project. If I had a time machine, i wouldnt use it to stop wars or save lives, I would use it to jump to the next video

Didn't know they had ITBs and can rev to 9,000 rpm. I'm hooked!

As a small car enthusiast I approve of this. I say this as I build a station wagon, lol.

I have a 1989 ford festiva that had a curb weight of 1700 originally but i have since stripped the interior and then installed a 1.8l mazda BP from an escort GT in it. It's a blast lol.

ABSOLUTE LEGEND, YES YES YES YES YES 4 rotors, twin turbo, 50/50 AWD with a sequential gearbox, I'm thinking?

Cbr1000RR Crate Engine incoming? This Beat is gonna bang.

Dude your views have been so good lately I can't wait until you blow up even more 😭

KEEP the yellow headlights! Awsome car can't wait to see what you do with it

Even if it isn't quick, that car is still dope as fuck. That thing would be an absolute weapon on the track with some modifications.

This probably would of been great on the back of the school bus you owned. Ill admit ive found an interest in kei cars probably a good first car if a mx5 is too high for insurance and i mean in the uk. I imagine in the us next to pickup trucks and big engines a miata is like a kei car. I probably wouldnt fit in one of these if i did probably not comfortably but i had fun in a 90s mini as a passenger with 45 horsepower from a 998cc engine. ive been in a 1995 subaru impreza colin mcrae edition 5 door a sierra rs500, a 58 chevy bel air a shelby daytona at rockingham speedway a 996 porsche or 993 and a maserati gran tourismo sport for the nec classic car show and recently an audi s4 for work but the mini still put a smile on my face and was still fun and kept up with a lotus europa i love small light cars with no weight its my favorite thing. The mini also made my fiesta look quick with a 1.3 litre with 59 horsepower from new.

sick intro!

50hp? 5 speed? 1700lbs? I also own a K11 Micra! Congrats on the purchase :)

This is so sick

this thing is cool af I love it

I knew it. Civic build coming up next 😎

What about the kei laws in Georgia??? I had slight issues renewing my roadsters tag just curious how you went around it?

I think you misspelled suzuki cappuccino there bud. Congrats on the new car !

I want to get one but to swap a bigger engine and boost it lol but i have never been able to drive a stock one so thats just off looks and my mentality to build , swap , race , brake , repeate 😅😅... peace and love all keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z famz and keep having fun ps i dig the beat n look forword to seeing what u do with it

Put in a suzuki GS1100GE engine in there and run a supercharger with it if you ever blow yours up, those mikuni carbs are soo nice

Now this, is epic

Broooo no way I have been building turbo Miata's I have one just like Molly and I just bought a Honda beat a few months ago it's crazy man I even Jackson racing supercharged my Miata I've been following since early for a days my Miata is definitely based on molly lol

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it felt so good IS the fact that its MR & not FR or FF.. The weight distribution is key for making driving FUN (imo) & even WITH the car being low on power, the overall weight & its distribution are what make the car FEEL "powerful"..

Supercharged Beat!!! Hell ya. 😂

A Smart Car Turbo would fit perfect on this thing, cause both displacement and power line up :D

Man I didnt think you could still register Kei vehicles in GA. I've been wanting a Subaru Sambar but read GA was revoking registrations.

Have you ever thought about buying a Lotus??? I think it would be fitting for this channel. Maybe some plans down the line?

Sooo jelly i love the beat

No. Way. I just got mega hyped for this. Gonna be hard to convince me the Beat is superior to the AZ-1 though.. :)

Dude I’ve always wanted one of these. We have the exact same taste in cars lol
