I have been looking into this lately.
Namely a few kits that is available for Elise-s K swap kit
SunSpeed
EliseParts
Innovative
They are utilizing Stock Elise Shifter cables and adapt it to K series box
with Adjustable Ball joints
For example - Innovatives design
The Beat it self already have a Cable shifter (like the K) just in different stroke length,
This adjustable method can be utilized, something similar to this
Or I could even shortened the Stock beat cables and use the adjustable Link for fine tune it.
will look into this once the engine is back in with the shaft etc. Really keen to make it work!

Well may be about a year pass since last update.
due some change in circumstances (Life) this has been put on the back burner while other things are going on. BUT Yes this Project is still going and finishing it is not clear in sight yet LOL!
I have finish mocking up the rear subframe to mounts the engine up and i have sent it to a fabies to make a new tubular frame. Which would be alot better than my hack / mock up frame.
Subframes now has been jigged up
A few tubes is tagged
this should be done for test fitting in the next week or two.
I have the frames dropped last year November, and fabricators has taken his own sweet time to fab it up! although i did tell him no "rush".
The imported panels and body parts are now painted, just awaiting for the frames to be done so i could roll up the car and get the body re-painted.
Well, "THAT" circumstance that change resulted in selling the EG race car.
So i took the motor out from it and replace with my UKDM EP3 motor and sold the EG with that.
So the beat now will rock my race car engine and box.
JDM k20, 5.1, 1.5 spoon lsd, BC Cams, Skunk2 I/m,K-Pro, I/H/E blah blah blah
was tune to 242hp (hub)
so either i become a hero or potatoed my self when driving *touch wood.
Finaly got my self, extra gimmicky carpet from jap land.
the OEM Zebra carpet =p
Will keep you guys posted with the build "iF" i got anything to update.. at this pace - 6 months at a time?
Front Brake upgrade - DC2R Calliper! Got to love Honda puzzle kit
They bolt up nicely, I’m yet to buy 4 studs 280 mm disc to test this out properly, but it can be down the track as currently I’m still focusing to get the engine settled in.
Just an update for the subframe – It finally at the final stage! We are able to test fit to the car and my Fabricator has done a great job!
Lot of clearances and ½ the weight of the original subframe. The subframe will still need a few more bracings and engine mounts to be placed in.
So close but yet so far to finishing. Oh well! At least I have made some major progress.
Cheers
