2001 Honda Insight Base Hatchback 3-door 1.0l on 2040-cars
North Ridgeville, Ohio, United States
2001 Honda Insight. The automobile drives perfectly strait
down the road.. and runs great. It is
from the Carolina’s. I have been the owner of the car for about 2 years I am
guessing. I needed a car with great fuel
economy… great dependability.. and the best one I could find was the Honda insight..
with over 50 mpg. It lives up to its standards. Being that the car is made out of
aluminum, from top to bottom, one will not have to be concerned about the car becoming
a rust bucket. It has new spark plugs. Oil
changes are done with the best oil available. The timing belt is a chain.. so you don’t have
to change it like regular Honda auto’s.
When I purchased it.. it had a dent on the car. It looked like a car
backed into the area just past the passenger door.. and I had it fixed
correctly. The dealership I purchased
the car through.. could not find me a stick shift Honda insight in blue. They were all on the west coast…and mostly
automatic. I desired one in a stick
shift for the better miles per gallon. I
feel the stick shift is more dependable..
and more fun to drive. The only problem was the one they did find in
the Carolina’s was a salvage title.. because the insurance company did not want
to fix the dent for the previous owner. I looked at pictures and decided the
damage was so small, that it would be worth fixing. I had it inspected and
Honda said I needed a new hybrid battery because it was 11 years old.. even
though it drove fine.. so I had it replaced along with an o2 sensor. The car will now and then get a check engine
light code that says the cataletic converter is on its way out. right now the light is not on.. but it will probably come back.. That converter is 200 dollars new on ebay if
someone chooses to replace it. The Honda shifts well. Clutch is
great. There is a smaller check mark shaped scratch on the right rear of the back bumper..noticeable close up. a couple
of little scratches and some nicks
around the car and some stone chips on the front of the car.. and a little scrape on the front bumper cover's clear coat.. hardly noticeable.. There
is one tiny ding on the car that I noticed on the driver’s door.. too small to
get a picture of it... Most of the stuff is only noticeable from a foot away.
The car looks great otherwise.. The windshield had a small crack.. so I replaced
it. There is no warranty on the car. The ABS brakes work fine.. brakes have been
checked and have plenty of life in them.. and stop very well. The tires are good. The electronics inside
the vehicle work well. It still has the
original cassette radio in it.... The air conditioning works great. This car has been more dependable than any car
I have had prior, and I would not be selling this car if I could fit more
family members into it. I still get
people pointing at.. and complimenting the Honda which tells me that it still
looks pretty good. Please stop by and take the car for a ride if you
desire. (440) 759-9683. I have tried to describe all the little things wrong with the car the best I could.
P.S. I have purchased
a hybrid battery grid charger for the vehicle.. and will throw that in with the
car if the price of the car goes above $3,500.00… If the charger gets installed.. It just allows someone to plug the car into a wall
outlet to keep the hybrid battery at peak performance. This charger is a permanent part of the car once installed..
and will only fit this style Honda Insight. It has instructions and should be installed by a mechanic facility. The car doesn't actually need the charger.. the car itself handles charging the battery as it is driven. Its just an extra item for better miles per gallon and ensuring the hybrid battery lasts as long as possible:) |

Bisimoto 2014 Honda Odyssey packs 1,029 hp plus the kids
Wed, 06 Nov 2013You know, the last time I drove a Honda Odyssey, I thought, "Man, this thing could really use another 781 horsepower." Thank goodness for the folks at Bisimoto, then, who have brought this "Power-Van" to the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It's your standard seven-passenger Honda Odyssey with massive powertrain tuning to deliver a full 1,029 horsepower. Honda has not listed the torque output, but we imagine it's roughly eleventy billion foot-pounds.
That crazy power bump has been achieved through the use of - *deep breath* - an Infinity ECU, Arias pistons, ARP headstuds and bolts, Bisimoto's own 360-degree oil cap, a cat-back exhaust system, stainless mufflers, an improved fuel pump, new spark plugs, custom headwork, R&R custom steel rods, Turbonetics BTZ7265 twin turbochargers, a wastegate, blowoff valve, VP racing fuels and a whole lot more. Honda says the only chassis/suspension modifications come in the way of Fifteen52 wheels, 225/30-series Toyo T1 Sport tires and Young Guns performance exhaust coatings. So as far as we can tell, this thing still uses a front-wheel-drive setup. I bet it'll do somersaults.
Of course, this is SEMA, where we assume there's a four-modification minimum for any car that enters the Las Vegas Convention Center, so the Odyssey has been given added visual flair, as well. Outside, that means there's a Denmatic design theme, a whole mess of Honda accessories (check out that roof tub) and some new paint. Inside, upgraded upholstery has been fitted, as have Recaro seats.
Honda Accord Hybrid sales capacity constrained
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Honda might be selling more hybrids if it could just get them to dealers. While the second-generation Insight never lived up to sales expectations and production is ending, the Japanese automaker is seeing strong demand for the Accord Hybrid here and abroad. However, there is so much global consumer desire that it can't keep them in US showrooms.
The problem limiting the sales of the Accord Hybrid is its battery pack and its popularity in Japan. "There's a waiting list for the product," said Jeff Conrad, Honda general manager, to Ward's Auto about the sedan's US popularity. While the American Accord is built in Marysville, OH, the batteries are imported from Japan, where the model is quite popular. According to Ward's data, the automaker sold 2,414 examples of the hybrid version from October 2013 to February 2014 in the US, but it shifted 6,000 units in Japan in its first three months on sale. Conrad also admitted that the constrained supply is limiting the amount of marketing the automaker can do for the hybrid.
Honda spokesperson Chris Martin told Autoblog the company is working on a solution to increase production for the near future. "We are going to resolve the battery issue," he said.
Honda CB350 and cafe racer culture explored by Electric Federal
Sun, 20 Oct 2013The latest video from Electric Federal covers one of our favorite aspects of motorcycle culture - café racers. In an interview with Adam "Gasser" Gaspic, the owner of Gasser Customs, EF takes a look at the culture and one of Gasser's latest offerings, a hopped-up Honda CB350, called the Silver Bullet.
Gasser has gone all-out on the Silver Bullet, replacing some of the body parts with fiberglass and delivering more than a few upgrades to the rebuilt engine. The brakes and suspension of the smaller bike also get some attention, as do some of the bike's aesthetics. Besides the upgrades, there's just something to be said for the sleek, minimalist nature of the little Honda.
Naturally, the videography is gorgeous, and it's a great look at a kind of motorcycling that seems to be overlooked in the world of sport bikes and Harley-Davidson-style cruisers. Take a look below for the full video.
