If you want the lowest original mile, true survivor, citrus-colored 5-speed insight available in the country, read on!  I have owned many, many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so.  I am not a dealer.  I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.)  The citrus colored insights were only made in the first model year (2000.)  The number produced was very low (estimates of 300 total.)  A true collector car.  The car is from Florida, and has only 88k original miles on it.  The body is not flawless, but it is nice, as seen in my pictures!  Every body panel has the correct VIN tag on it (both front fenders, hood, both doors, both quarter panels, rear hatch, front and back bumper covers.)  So no panels have ever been replaced.  The car has never been in any kind of major accident, or this would be appearent with replacement panels lacking the correct vin numbers.  This is further evidenced by it's clean carfax report.  The usual trim items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, steering wheel, headlights, exterior moldings, emblems, decals, etc, etc.)  Interior-wise, again, the car is real nice.  The seats are great and not worn through (in fact they show very little wear at all,) the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no stains at all, and are all perfect.  I totally steam cleaned the car's interior, as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.)  All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.  It has the correct size 165/65/14 tires (Like brand new Michelin Green X, low rolling resistance tires, with 100% tread.)  I just had these mounted and spun balanced, so you'll be good to go for the next 80k miles.   The car runs, drives, and shifts very well.  It does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider.  I also put brand new brake rotors and ceramic pads on the car, so the brakes are brand new too.  You shouldn't have to touch them for another 80-100k miles.  I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored in my heated garage and not being driven.)  For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack.  This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health greatly.  To the buyer, I will offer a brand new grid charger for half the price I normally sell them for (my cost to build, basically.)  To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301002355166.   The car has all the manuals, key and remote, too.  Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever.  The clutch and slave cylinder are pefect too.  I also just did the full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, and the transmission fluid change, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; heater, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, trip meter, squirters, etc, etc.  This car is THE nicest citrus you'll find for sale in the country.  All underbody panels are in place and nice, too.  All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice.  I have the clean and clear transferrable title, with no liens, in my name.  I have done a ton of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now.  I do all my own work (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct screw.  NO surprises with this car!  So, if you want the best citrus for your money, look no further.  Can you buy an insight cheaper?  Yup.  Maybe you can even find a high mile citrus.  But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs, both mechanically and cosmetically!  This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true!  Just look at the pics....Any questions; call me directly at 716-946-6070.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Respectfully,

Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067)

PS: I also have 1 other first gen 2000 silver 5-speed Insight I'll be selling as well, if this one does not suit your exact wants.  It is a true, documented 49k mile car from Massechusetts.  Feel free to call!

I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well.  Some of which include:

Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item # 290990607482.)

Brake Regen Circuit (see ebay item # 291048200804.)

Brand New OEM Honda Insight Citrus & Grey Seat Covers (see ebay item # 300932249369.)

Stainless Steel Dead Pedal / Footrest) (see ebay item # 291039568254.)

Honda Insight Spun Aluminum Moon Disc Set (see ebay item # 300951306290.)

And soon to come; another round of Throttle Smoothing Circuits! 

Thanks again!

Chris

Why Honda of America won't fit 2014 Fit models with start/stop

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

One of the most recent yet notable additions to the modern vehicle's growing suite of fuel-saving technologies is the humble start-stop system. It's rather simple - when the vehicle is stopped, the engine shuts off. It then fires back up when the driver starts to take his foot off the brake or step on the clutch. For one of the most important fuel sippers of the year, though, start-stop tech is a no-go.
Honda will not be offering the system on the North American-spec, non-hybrid Fit despite it being a standard item on both the hybrid (pictured above) and gas-only Japanese domestic models. According to Honda, it's ostensibly due to the momentary lag, that occurs when the gas engine re-fires and power is available. The start-stop-equipped Fits "will lose at stoplights to V6s," Nobuhiko Shishido, the lead powertrain engineer for the Fit, told Automotive News. This is just an observation on our part, but unless the new Fit turns up with dramatically more than the current car's 117 horsepower, it'll "lose at stoplights" regardless of whatever fuel-saving features are fitted.
The other issue Honda sees is more realistic. In the world of the EPA, stop-start systems are not taken into account in fuel economy testing. That makes the cost-adding technology a tough sell for US consumers who are forced to take a dealer's word on real-world economy gains over the milage numbers on the window sticker. That said, wouldn't it at least make sense to offer start-stop as an option? Have your say in the Comments below.

Honda Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept - a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features - namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines - but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.

Next Honda Ridgeline to eschew weird visuals, go mainstream?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Last year, Honda gave us the first furtive glance at the next-generation Ridgeline with a shadowy photo of it in profile (above), and it promised that the pickup would "come to market in less than two years." That would have put the truck on track for a 2015 debut, but the automaker hasn't said anything more officially about the new model since then.
A new report from USA Today might shed some new light on the mysterious model. It claims that the next Ridgeline has more conventional pickup styling than the original model in a bid to conquest some buyers. You can get that feeling from the sketch, which appears to showing something far more traditional than the unorthodox original Ridgeline, whose odd tapering bedsides terminated in a double-hinged tailgate.
USA Today goes on to claim that the new Ridgeline will go on sale around late 2015 or early 2016. That's a bit later than expected, but fits with an earlier rumor.
