Good luck with modding your Insight. |
I would love to do what MetroMPG did, but that would cost money. Right now I am working especially on a budget- eventually it will become better, when I get done with other projects, or have some extra change, it falls off, something along those lines. The original looked good to me, the duct tape. It was hard to even notice from a few feet away (hurray for Silverstone Silver). I am thinking to just rubberize this, and then paint it silver. This design should let the engine breathe more, while the duct tape was a total seal on it.

How is the comfort level of the Honda insight? I might be tempted at shopping for one next year, how does insight compare to the geo metro. I feel the metro has more storage space. It would seem 50-65 mpg make them comparable.
I had a basic Honda hatch and the ride was so rough, my body was sore all the time from the ride.

Metro is definitely the man to speak to on that [question]. Compared to the Mustang, it is a brand new Lazy Boy. One thing that contributed to a super comfy 500 mile ride was not figuring out how to operate the seat, and the gentleman before me enjoyed a relaxed ride. I kept my PPE in my lower back, and it was still comfy- normally I can only last ~40 minutes with the Mustang, let alone 500 miles.
Another point of Insight > Other is the all aluminum body, and the aero based design already. A full underbody, and full wheel skirts will be easier to do on the Insight than the Metro.
