NP. He could’ve put in the S2000 motor in it too. Ultimate sleeper

What's the lowest mileage he's recorded?

hello hello. I have a weird outlier of a 47MPG but i dunno what happened on that one. Likely incorrect data. the lowest otherwise is a 56, then to 58s then 62+ I have data logged on fill-ups for the last year and 9 months if you’d like to see them. Using the odo and gas pump. The car knows how much it’s injecting and typically reads about 2MPG higher than my app.

ewww no, that motor belongs right where it is! No dumb v8 replacements, no silly boost. Go buy a corvette for that mess. however..... http://oppositelock.kinja.com/mid-engined-tu… this swap looks like one of the more interesting ways to kill ones self.

I have always liked the first Insight. That is the real successor to the CRX, not the CRZ. If only they made it available with a conventional engine setup...

If I had more room, I’d be very tempted to buy a 1st gen Insight. Cool car, and in theory the low gas prices make it a good time to buy.

I actually always liked these little things. They’re cute.

Hey, I know you!

This would make an awesome commuter/winter beater to supplement my BRZ. Sadly, I can’t just now. Partly because I already have a dead Jeep in the garage that we’ve already sunk the money into. So I’ll just admire your car from over here and wish you luck with the sale!

I was just intrigued by what the number could be. I like the book keeping and it looks like the next owner will be very happy.

ive never taken great care of detailing my exteriors. I used to be a detail freak until my s2000 got hail damage and started spending its weekend sending a few cones into orbit. I am however very meticulous on service and making sure all the mechanical bits are happy. The s2000 gets a full fluid flush(everything but coolant), plugs, and i do a valve adjustment every spring.......i have issues. Good ones i guess.

I’d agree. It seems to follow an 8 year pattern on oil i think. Surely it’ll kick back up for at least one more hurrah of high prices before we really start using other stuff.
