    I wouldn't do it...for as much as it would cost for a k swap done right you could buy an rsx....And even if you did do it, at the end of the day you'd be driving an insight. Not really rolling in style...

    k swap insight is 10x faster then an rsx, even a k swap hatch is stupid fast.

    finding a wrecked one of these at this price is very rare and im sure a new core support front bumper headlights wont be much. a kswap insight is basically a modern day crx but will check out on your everyday kswapped eg or ek with ease. and the good part is you can ride in the hov lane all day lol

    im guessing you have never seen a k swapped crx up close you have to totally gut the car for it to be fast with this insight you can go full inter. and still be faster than the crx

    have you seen the issue of H-T with the insight with the type-r k swap? that thing was the definition of sick.

    It would definitely be a neat project, but theres no way an Insight weighs less than a HF CRX lol.
