Re: J series Insight Build
Heck ya. Getting the j in this chassis without having to cut the hood and having axles level and plenty of ground clearance was the biggest challenge to date.

Great job getting it under the hood. I about puke every time I see this swap hanging out the hood and some drunken sawzall operator made room for it to close.

Re: J series Insight Build
Well Im working with a company currently on the cams. Its going to be awesome once I can release a little more information on them. But j series will finally have another billet cam option which is awesome without having to modify the heads. And Im going with Aem Infinity for the simple fact of the updating of the software, the capabalities are endless, theres not much data out the for these j series builds so we need as much of it as possible. Also I dont want to limit the cars potential in anyway.

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.
