Up for sale is my 2000 Honda Insight with K20A2 swap. My goal for this car was to recreate my old 88 CRX Si in a modern day chassis that was safe & would not rust. The Insight is small, lightweight & has an aluminum uni-body so it was the perfect choice. I purchased a used Insight with a bad motor & started looking for a K swap. Since I needed lots of RSX components like wiring harness, axles, spindles, brakes, shift linkage etc I decided to purchase a whole wrecked RSX Type S.
This is a clean swap, No problems, no CELs, nothing is cobbled together. Everything works as it should, functioning gauges, ABS, cruise control, & even Immobi works. I did the swap myself back in 2007 & have put 22k problem free miles on it since then.
Clean title, no leins, no accidents
(have title for RSX-S engine as well)
Current chassis mileage: 298,xxx
RSX-S Engine mileage: @45k
Serious Inquires only please, I am a busy guy & I am sure you are as well so lets not waste each others time.
$9900
No trades
PM if interested
vin furnished upon request
Thanks

Pulling the dead 1L 3cyl & hybrid system
Donor RSX (Rear Impact)
Mounting K20
Fabricating exhaust, suspension, rear transmission mount, wiring, etc
Wiring, wiring, & more wiring. In the end everything was soldered, shrink-wrapped & tucked away nicely.

Re: K20 Powered Honda Insight
I get 35-40mpg depending on driving style. The rolling resistance & aero are really good & with the k20 power it could pull a much taller gear on the highway. If I kept the car my next step was to swap to a TSX 6th gear & add LSD. I think with taller gearing at highway cruise you could pick up another couple mpg.

Re: K20 Powered Honda Insight
Were you going to do the TSX 6th gear & LSD swap yourself?
Does the car have functional A/C & P/S?
Any pics of the current interior?
Thanks!

Not sure on Cali rules for engine swaps but Yes, the exhaust is the stock RSX-S exhaust cut & welded to fit on the Insight including: the exhaust manifold, catalyst, underfloor resonator, muffler, & both O2 sensors.

Re: K20 Powered Honda Insight
I have all the A/C components, but the connection from the Insight condenser to the RSX compressor is different & needs modified to connect, just never had the time.
Insight has EPS(electric assist powersteering) & yes it is working
Ill shoot some interior pics this weekend & post.

Re: K20 Powered Honda Insight
This has got to be the coolest car I've seen on this board in years! Put it up on Ebay and see what it'll do. Your price seems very fair!
