Well, I like the name IRX.
Are you going with the Insight's instrument cluster, body wire harness, fuel tank, and fuel pump? And did you like the Insight seats as much as I do?

Versus 0.9KWh, 120 cells, 22kg for the Insight's pack. So it's twice the size. However, the Ford's pack is made of 5.5Ah Sanyo cells, versus 6.5Ah Panasonics in the Honda.
I can think of several nifty but impractical ways to use that battery pack or its cells in an Insight or IRX, but realistically, it's probably better used in a separate project.
