2000 Insight Build Thread

[UltArc]

Does anyone know the fuse to pull for the killswitch?

I know there are two routes, and I am a bum, so I am leaning towards spark only. I am also thinking under dash fuse #2, but it also lists SRS and I don't want to pop my air bag trying to get better MPG.

I have done EXTENSIVE searching on here, but not seeing any build threads for this or clear guidance on it. (I am ordering a switch and want to make sure it is the right capacity)

If you are talking about an injector kill switch, the I would recommend a switch simply for the ground to the injectors. Therefore, no current running through the switch. That's how mine works. Don't know the fuses on your Insight.

I completely missed this post! I was hoping another Insight adjuster would chip in on what they did, the several threads I found mentioned it was done, but not what they specifically pulled.

As I posted up there, I found one that seems like it would work, but it also is connected to the SRS, which I believe is the air bags, and makes me a bit concerned.

Would you mind adding some punctuation? It starts out decent, you don't care for how it looks, but then it kind of goes haywire. Spray paint what? My temporary design that is going to be replaced? Or the chips and damage to the front bumper?

What looks like the massive front end collision? The front end, chips on hood, or the polycarbonate? Do you mean front end collision with an election sign?

Finally, "savings is significant i also have a grill block but clown car."

You didn't put a period in, but I imagine that was the end of your statement. You put a comma, so I imagine you'd want to:

"separate the elements in a series"
"connect two independent clauses"
"set off introductory elements"
or
"set off parenthetical elements"

Sourced from: Rules for Comma Usage

But "savings is significant i also have a grill block but clown car" is not clear to me. I even tried typing it, thinking maybe it would be more clear, but it was not.

Thank you for posting something with little to no value that was barely comprehensible, followed by something that provided no value at all and conveniently avoided any rebuttal to your original pointless statement.

If I get any more relaxed I may fall asleep at the wheel.

Of actual value, I have ordered my SCii, my brake switch, clutch switch, and purchased my switch and power wiring for the kill switch. My Honda check is this Tuesday evening, and they quoted me 450 for four RE92s, mounting, balancing, and putting on. Better than Walmart and tirerack!

I am still waiting to buy the rest of the KS gear until I get more feedback on what fuse other's have used for the KS.

Look up Daox's "pretty prius grillblock" (or something like that) on this site. He went through a long process of trying to make an "OEM" quality block and learned a lot.

After I pay off the car, I will be actually spending money on the modifications, to an extent. The Mustang has to look good, the Insight is pure function, whatever it looks like is what it looks like.

I was thinking about Metro's grille blocks (since Cigar007's seems too difficult for the top), but I will check that out.

If you can even still buy RE92's at all, the cheapest is Costco. You don't need a membership, it's about $100 or more less depending on if you get 4 and the manufacturer is doing their coupon deal still. Thats includes installation, and Nitrogen inflation.

The OBDIIC&C is better for the Insight than a SGII. It reads IMA specific stuff. The SGII is better if your going to share it with your mustang. Both are a good investment cause they don't depreciate in resale value.
