First gen honda insight with a K20 swap...
200WHP in a 1900lbs car. Win? http://www.lhtperformance.net/documents/lht_k-sight.html Discuss. Personally I find it interesting, and I love sleeper, so this is awesome in my eyes. Up side is 200whp sleeper, and 45mpg highway, Down side is I hear they will build it for ~20k plus donor car. If i had the money I would buy it/have them build me one. edit: I feel the overall workmanship seems top notch, its not stripped out, and seems to be easy enough to DD. (as stated by LHT Performance) Honestly it looks OEM. This post has been edited by devilsden97: Jun 17, 2011 - 10:38 PM -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |

I like it because it's different than every other Honda out there. I wouldn't pay 20k for it. That shop does top notch work check out the KR-Z it's very cleanly done. the KR-z is 17k plus the donar car...thats almost a $40k car. thats a little nuts. Cool, and next we shall be looking forward to seeing the 3sgte powered Prius... :-/ So your saying, if you had the opportunity to make a sleeper Prius you wouldn't? for 20k that car is a bargain. its not pretty but your talking great fuel economy and great power. best of both worlds. It is 20k plus the Insight which ranges from 4k to 13k. I get everyone point that its not the prettiest car. But, as I see this swap/build, its ment to be a sleeper. Sleepers shouldn't be eye catching, or exude the feeling of speed. They should look stock, and should defiantly be underestimated. I don't think anyone would disagree that a Honda Insight would be seriouly under estimated as a quick car. -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |
