Re: J series Insight Build
What knuckle is pictured there with the hub pressed out? Looks like it is wider at the strut mount than the civic stuff. Looks like it fits the wider insight strut very well. Is that an 07ish Odyssey hub? Parts fiche looks like it could be and the ball joint goes the correct way.
And safety **** question, does the oil pan hang below the bottom of the wheel? If you cut a slick will the oil pan hit the ground before the wheel? Are there rules in your class for things like that?
Anyway looks good! I am putting a K24 in my Insight and thought that was going to be a tight fit.

Re: J series Insight Build
Thank you. I wanted to keep it clean and not come out the hood, but I am limited for room so I honestly think its the only option. I wanted them to merge then have it exit out the fender but it doesnt have the space I NEED to do other things.

Re: J series Insight Build
Both tacked up. Final adjustments on runner length and then, I'll post finished product.
A little more adjustments needed. But heres a rough draft

Re: J series Insight Build
Thank you so much its appreciated. Dog Box is the goal. Right now TB motor worx is still on a stock j series trans with a 3.8 final drive and so far hes going 9.7s @144. Stock J transmission can handle alot of abuse. Evans tuning as well had stock j series trans and didnt have any issues.
