Insight on the Insight.

Has anybody heard or seen any Insights that have been modded to increase performance, I/H/E, etc. I bet them aftermarket parts are hard to come by, if at all. Would probably be all DIY work. Link them here if you have seen any.

i think the insight was made for good fuel consumption and low emissions and stuff.......i dont think you can really do much to a 3 cylinder, 76hp engine.........

People are modding the echo, that's just a step up from the insight.... never say never

The new civic with the small 1.5 and the electric supplement engine comes out next model year, there will be some parts interchangable with our cars[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Well, the Prius is what you are probably trying to say, the Echo is a Toyota and so is the Prius.


Anyways, it would be funny to see either of the hybrids fixed. From the rear, the Insight reminds me of the last gen CRX, the glass panel part that is.
