Some fun facts:
TSX OEM flywheel weight: 18.2lbs
Insight flywheel weight: 13lbs + IMA motor mass
RSX Type R flywheel: ~10lbs
Insight rim weight: 11lbs
TSX rim weight: 21lbs
RE92 tire weight: 13lbs
TSX tire weight: ~23lbs
Compared with a TSX, I'm reducing rotating mass at the flywheel by 45% (8.2lbs), and at the tires by 80lbs, which is also almost exactly 45%.
The TSX weighs around 3300lbs. The Insight with TSX engine will likely be around 1950lbs (maybe a bit less). This is a 41% reduction in weight. If I can get it down a little bit, to its stock weight (might be possible after gutting the back, lightweight battery), it would also be an approximate 45% weight reduction.
