I think radiator hoses might be a challenge. The Insight has 1+1/8" radiator hoses, or something odd like that. I would keep your large CRX radiator if you can. My hunch is a larger radiator would allow for a smaller grille opening.
Looking at your engine bay, I can't help but counting the plug wires and thinking, "That's too many" and shaking my head sadly. Then I count your horns, and I say the same thing. If your low tone horn works, then the high tone horn isn't pulling its weight (220g if it's like mine).
It looks good all torn apart. Especially the interior, because I know special, high-voltage things are going to happen in there.

The CRX has manual steering which works like a charm. I'm actually a big fan of a return to manual steering anyway, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
I was hoping I could use the Insight radiator just because it'll be lighter, though that's an interesting point on having a larger radiator and being able to cover up more...anyone else have thoughts on this?
Ty was gonna bring his calipers and forgot, in a few minutes I'll go down and measure the circumference.
My dad was blabbing about turbine engines. Meh
