First gen honda insight with a K20 swap...
200WHP in a 1900lbs car. Win? http://www.lhtperformance.net/documents/lht_k-sight.html Discuss. Personally I find it interesting, and I love sleeper, so this is awesome in my eyes. Up side is 200whp sleeper, and 45mpg highway, Down side is I hear they will build it for ~20k plus donor car. If i had the money I would buy it/have them build me one. edit: I feel the overall workmanship seems top notch, its not stripped out, and seems to be easy enough to DD. (as stated by LHT Performance) Honestly it looks OEM. This post has been edited by devilsden97: Jun 17, 2011 - 10:38 PM -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |

There is a difference between a car that comes stock sleeper status and spending 20k on a sleeper project, which was my target of hate.
My reason for edit is that I like cars with subtle mods or clean tasteful mods with high power, that some may call sleeper. But they are in way more favored forms than a hybrid Honda with a 21st century motor. I like stuff like "sleeper" BMW's and Alltracs, etc. Cars that can perform motor sports, not just highway pulls. We have different expectations I guess from our "sleepers". The reason the AE is better in my eyes is what the guy is doing with it. Professional drifting, not just professional high school late night street racing, lol. Edit: Also the AE is a fully built K20/24 hybrid + turbo + fully built, with 500hp in a 2000lbs RWD car completely race ready. Not 200hp, stock in an ugly FF car. THAT is why it is better...lol...open your eyes. This post has been edited by mak5603: Jun 19, 2011 - 7:14 PM -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1
