RYLAND: Your suggestion to use an existing Civic Honda driven rear end would allow using existing Insight wheels and probably other parts well. I have not studied out the possibility of grafting the Civic driven rear end parts onto the Insight rear end or of sustituting the Civic rear end for the Insight rear end.
In either case, modification of the existing Insight would be considerable and might involve restyling the Insight rear fenders/skirts if the Civic wheel track could not be shrunk. Finding room to accomodate the rear end differential and motor might require a good bit of frame and sheet metal work in addition to finding or building some kind of structure upon which it could be supported.
This would be a very ambitious project and is way beyond what I am ready to take on at this time. Thank you for your suggestion.
