Re: Insite= the new crx with conversion!

ah i'd love to have a nice looking insight just to save gas lol, the thing gets crazy mpg! But why did honda ever put those ugly wheel covers on the back...they're so ugly...if someone could do body mods on that thing it'd be decent looking

I'd mod an insight if they weren't so expensive :O i'm sticking with my 4g4d for a long time ^_^

Re: Insite= the new crx with conversion!

there is an insight running in a lot of big name drag racing competitions. i saw it in a magazine a few days ago. cant remember if it was sport compact car or super street, but its powered by a K-series engine.

and whoever thinks that it takes too much work because the K-series is "backwards" mustnt get out much. because the insight uses a D-series engine, and many companies already make mount kits to put K-series engines into D-series powered cars. theres a place here in louisiana called hybrid racing that makes mount kits.

Re: Insite= the new crx with conversion!

I'm surprised nobody ever thought of just getting an RSX type-S de-badging it, remove the backseat, and maybe customize the rear hatch to have a vertical window section in the rear... instant "new crx" with K powered engine. Anyway, I'd like to see that insight crxlvr... sounds wild!

Re: Insite= the new crx with conversion!

Clutchmaster's drag car is a honda insight with a k motor. runs 9s allmotor.

i think the insight IS the new CRX. the main concept of the CRX is a light fuel efficient car. the insight fits the same description, infact the insight is all alumunium and weighs in the 1800lb range. a light car handles and brakes better thus making it safer vehicle. the wheel covers are all function; reduce windage/drag around the wheels, which also increases highway fuel economy. i dont know if this is on the insight but the all alumunium honda fit has a rigid floor that they said is a good base for a race car. both crx and insight also have "weak" engines, but with a powerful motor theyre really fast.

imo, the insight looks like it can pick up where the crx left off, i would buy one but they cost too much for me right now.
