Here is a list of mods and maintenance that I have planned.

Maintenance
- Drain and refill the MT with Honda recommended fluid
- Clean headlights
- Fix small oil leak from the top part of the motor, can't remember the name of the part
- Clean EGR
- P0420 and P1449 codes
- Get IMA system back up and running
- Fix the driver front interior fender well
- OEM engine bay belly panels?
- Replace broken door handle and repair driver's door (pics later)

Aesthetics/pleasure
- Reinstall CD player
- Upgrade speakers
- 8" subwoofer w/ amp
- New paint job, OEM red, MAYBE Citrus
- Interior restoration

Planned Eco-mods
- Grill block
- Remove rear wiper
- Remove POS factory antenna
- Custom front belly pan if OEM leaves something to be desired
- Custom rear belly pan at appropriate angle to reduce lift
- 14x4 Insight space saver rims w/ new RE92's @ 80 psi
- Boat tail
- MIMA
- Warm air intake
- Engine kill switch for EOC

Eco-mods implemented as of 4/3/17
- Tire pressure of 60f/55r
- Driving by FCD
- Neutral coasting as much as possible!

If y'all remember my Escort build, it was MAJORLY function over form. I want this build to be a delicate balance of form and function, to make it look like the Insight came from Honda with full Ecomodder glory.
