IIRC the Insight is fitted with the IMA to overcome its painful low-end torque. If you would rather not want the IMA to remain operating, you could be better off with the engine (and transmission) of a Metro if you would really go the downsizing route.

Or just slap the engine of a random wrecked sportsbike and leave it as a weekend club racer
