Just completed a 1.2L TDI heart transplant on a 2000 Insight on Friday (17JUL09). As I suspected, the Honda Insight with a diesel engine is a MUCH better and more satisfying car to drive. Hills are no longer a dread like they once were. Take a look at
Red Light Racing for build details. I hope to have the most recent photos of the build posted shortly. In the meantime, here's a YouTube video of the car at idle:
