Jimbo replaces the carburator, adjusts it, and blows the CVT belt possibly while doing donuts
Sorry for not posting this one last week, I don't remember much from it, and I really want to get back to staying in grad school, so I am not rewatching it: This is where he tries to modify it, but everything got thrown off because the belt broke while on a test run: He is still working on the Insight!

He fixed the CVT, made further modifications continuing to improve acceleration slightly, and calculated that in his 0-55 runs, he had engine RPMs more than 20% past manufacture recommendations, so further tests will be 0-55:

Jimbo dropped a Kubota in the Insight!
He discussed the project with some jerk in Covina, mated the Kubota to the Saturn transmission, modifying the Saturn shifter to fit the Insight.
100%Jake one of WatchJRGo's friends, donated a stock fuel tank, which should reduce the diesel fumes in the cabin.
He bought a larger supercharger for this.
He is cutting and sleeve-weld the axles, although it wasn't his favorite idea, although it has worked for much more powerful cars.

That Diesel might be even better suited to the Insight than to the Saturn.
