Default Huh. Now, you can... Chip your Insight!

Yes, ladies and gents, friends and neighbors, pre-ops and post-ops, now, you too can get an extra [up to] TWENTY HORSEPOWER for only $11 (YES, BUNKY! I said only ELEVEN DOLLARS!)... complete with s/h and insurance!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... gory=33597

And this miraculous development performs this incredible feat by (are you ready for this?!) making the engine computer think the air is ***COOLER!*** than normal!

So... throw away those flimsy radiator covers! Dispose of all your pesky, expensive warm air mods! Yes indeed-ee, my Insightful [chuckle!] driver... be just like the latest "Ricers" on your block! CHIP YOUR INSIGHT and get an extra [up to] TWENTY HORSES!

Don't delay... go to eBay... and ORDER TODAY!

For a moment you had me excited, I've been looking for something with a pinout for the Insight ECU so I can try to hack it for better economy and perhaps more liberal use of assist.

Unfortunately, they do mention that it won't work on turbo models, which is a shame as I was considering purchasing a nice Turbo Insight last night when I was asleep.*

The item also has the most precise location I've seen on an eBay ad. Apparently the seller keeps it on his or her person at all times.

It also says only $3.99 for me. Now that's a deal. Unfortunately, since it's for a Honda "Element Insight" and it says it won't work on any other car, you've probrably got about a 50 percent chance that it will work on the Insight.**

* Dreaming, in case it wasn't obvious.
** Does not include the possibility that it will not work at all.
