Re: Mika the JDM 2016 Honda S660
So
I Ordered this through Torque GT Budget was £20k but that includes mods so i wanted to spend £16k on the car imported and registered. Excellent company and highly recommended are Torque GT. Ill be using them again if i ever need to.
After searching though so many auctions, bidding and getting Torque GT to use their contacts it seemed i wouldnt be able to find a Premium Beach Blue peal Manual S660.
The come in Alpha and Beta models. Alphas are the ones to go for they add Premium trim, leather/suede seats, diamond cut wheels, Cruise control and auto headlights over the beta. LED headlights are standard, AD08R tyres standard. many many Honda access accesories available like the Upfront screen that displays G force, boost, brake pressure, time and radio info as well as the rear view camera. Illuminated side step garnishes, wide monitor rear view mirror, active spoilers, city braking assist, and a load of modulo accesories like aero bumpers, wheels, lower suspension and interio accessories.
So after searching we found a nice speced Star white pearl, Manual, low mileage and with the dash screen, Tein suspension and Work wheels and Blitz exhaust.
Auction Pictures.
We bid £11.5k and won.......just.
After deregistration it got put of the HMS Cocky Mccocktease to head through every county from Japan up the Egyptian Suez canal to europe. This took nearly 2 months shipping alone. Then cleared customs and a few grand later its at Torque GT HQ in Newton Abbot.
Some pics on arrive at Torque GT.
The official mod specs as imported
2016 Honda S660 Alpha 16,810km
- Tein Street Flex coilovers
- Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust but it doesnt have the blitz centre pipe. (downpipe)
- Blitz panel air filter
- Work Emotion CR Kai Kiwami 15x5 et45 & 16x6.5 et48
- Red/Black seat covers
- Red stickers inside OEM badges (quite a popular mod in Japan.)
- Full (one) service history
More to come over the next days.

I'm sure they have paid Ratty suitable commission for use of his car as promo for their business
BTW I disagree with what that article says about this being the first really interesting Kei car with personality etc. There's been plenty of great little sports cars before (Copen, Beat, Cappuchino etc.)
