Honda Insight $99 lawnmower engine swap [video]

the early Insights are awesome little vehicles, they used just about every trick in the book on them. Indexed spark plugs; the aero skirts on the back that make a difference you can feel when they're not there, tires that'd serve for a motorcycle.

Ours is at the shop waiting for our mechanic to have time and inspiration to perhaps wedge an alternator into it, she's et the 3rd battery pack at 270k miles, and we're not going to invest 1.5x her value in another. If our guy can make her live again we might get another 200k or more out of it.
