Yup. Gen 1 Insights had almost precisely the RPMs of a VX when stock tire/wheel sizes are taken into account. Muast turn at about 2000-2100 RPM @ 60MPH.

But remember, I am just speculating it might bolt up. It might not. The various Civic transmissions from the 7th Gen will bolt up easy (hybrid is a question mark).

Dreaming is ok, too.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
