gspong · 12-19-2015, 02:06 PM

Just bought a 2001 Insight. 200k, 5MT.

To-do:
New Seats - 200k/14 years of butt-time=nasty
Grid-Charger/IMA Battery - Seller said IMA light was coming on and dealer recommended replacement. Maybe see if I can do some refurbishing..
Transmission - 2nd gear synchros seem to be going. Short term, practice double-clutching.
Clutch - Seemed off, apparently clutch cylinder is a weak point, so check it first.
Learn to drive it

Open to advice, or help from anyone in the KCMO area.
