Seat Swap314

Seat Swap

So this Insight has almost 200k miles on the odometer,  and the drivers seat was showing some wear.  Since we have a parts car sitting right in front of it, with only 100k miles. It just makes sense to swap out that seat!  So I did just that!

Cleaning under the hood312

Cleaning under the hood

After dedicating considerable time to meticulously cleaning the exterior of this Honda Insight, it dawned on me that I hadn't taken a proper look beneath the hood, aside jump starting it. I decided to open it up and quickly realized that this should have been my starting point all along.

I grabbed a rag and a vacuum, meticulously removing pine needles and debris, then proceeded to apply a thorough cleaning solution. With a bit of elbow grease, I diligently wiped down every surface.

It's truly remarkable how a modest amount of effort can significantly enhance the overall appearance of your vehicle.

New Wheels,  why not?308

New Wheels, why not?

So we actually have 2 of these Insights,  the other one doesn't seem to run well and is not charging the IMA battery.  So I'm pretty much considering that a parts car at this point.  But it did have some nice new wheels on it,  so time for the old swap-a-roo.

This poor car is starting to look a little better,  well better in the sense it's doesn't look abandoned.  But it's still a Honda Insight after all lol.  

Still working on the paint too!

Restoring the paint301

Restoring the paint

The paint's condition is quite deteriorated, evident after the initial cleaning. To address this, my first step was using a clay bar on it. The paint's texture was notably coarse due to years of outdoor exposure, leading to various debris adhering to the surface.

The application of the clay bar yielded remarkable results, significantly enhancing the paint's smoothness. The transformation was truly impressive, considering the rough, sandpaper-like texture it exhibited initially.

In the next phase, I'll utilize a polishing wheel to enhance its gloss. The accompanying image depicts the application of the clay bar on one side of the hood. Notably, the driver's side already exhibits a slightly more lustrous appearance, displaying a reduction in fading.

At least the dash is cool looking

Has a very 80's digital dash look to it.  Not sure why Honda went this route, like this totally looks like the starship dashboards from the 80's.  But I actually like it.  Cool to see them again.

How she came home298

How she came home

Evidently, this car seems to have been parked beneath a tree for the last five years, as it was covered in needles and sap. Thus, the initial task involved a thorough cleaning to rid it of this debris.

The transformation resulting from this seemingly minor effort is truly remarkable, significantly enhancing its overall appearance.

Moving forward, my next endeavor will involve paint restoration in an attempt to restore some of its lost luster.

Summer Project294

Summer Project

Stage 1: Re route my HID headlight wiring and install HID fog lights. Going to try and hide everything so looking under the hood you would never know it was aftermarket lights, as well as move my OBD port. I installed a chip tuner and cant put the fuse box cover back on the way it is.

 

Stage 2: Install remote start. I chose one that would work with my factory remote, didnt want to have 2 remotes. Push the lock button 3 times on the factory remote to start the vehicle, only down side, you have to use the key to open the door when its remote started. 

 

Stage 3: Car audio install. Way too much to say here, so I will post builds during the process

 

Im also looking into an LCD rear view mirror and thinking about painting my brake calipers red.
