3 pro tips when buying a cool car long distance

5 most common ways to resolve IMA failure in a G1 Honda Insight
Do you think you could install a BOV in place of the symposer?
I watched this video a few times and base off your recommendation I purchased a set of PoorBoiz. That was over a week ago and have yet to receive any updates. Tried emailing and nothing. How long did it take you to receive yours from them.
Mine came from Australia to the US, it took 4-5 weeks.
Only the first few years of the G1 Insight did lean burn, can your mod make all G1 Insights have lean burn? Also, can the cars with the CVT be converted to Linsight?
It's a pleasure to see your smiling face.
Thank you.
I just changed that switch.. thanks for the video..! 😁
It is like 3.05L/100km wow😮
Feels like question 12 was the correct verdict but not the precise reasoning. It deploys more electric power, but if it does not regenerate more as well, you would be depleting much faster than you got charge back. So the true cause of that increase in economy is not because you deployed more power (that is a symptom), but because you must have regenerated at a higher power and thus more of the deceleration was shoved back into the battery and not lost in the brakes. Side benefit, higher deployment allows the engine to stay in lean burn more often, which I am told makes a big difference to consumption too. If either or both explanations are correct, then as a prospective buyer, that gives me some confidence about this upgrade working exactly as intended.
Two thoughts....ONE it does regenerate more with the current hack, and since the vast majority of LiBCM customers add the current hack, that is the norm....TWO regenerating power back is not an issue in terms of economy because one can grid charge to full battery at any time or after any drive.
It looks like your Insight has an extra bushing on the outside of your transmission mount. It’s a big black O-ring looking thing on the exhaust side of the mount. Is that an additional piece that you put in or did later models of insights have that? I have a 2001 CVT.
I sold that one many years ago, I cannot know this information you ask.
When you said pics of the oil pan do you mean just the outside or actually dropping and resealing the pan or the sample of oil in a drain pan?
A pic of the outside is reasonable imho....dropping and resealing, no that's way too far unless we're selling a Bugatti.
Good information. It makes looking at Insights halfway across the country a little less scary!
Congrats for the sale!
What's the best hybrid or year?
and if you want another 10-20 hp remove the rear seats
ive had 8 pt's still have 3 as of today ones my fav a 02 w 5 speed perfect running starts instantly etc ac works all that w 250k had gt's and a convertible ,but YOU have the holy grail of all cruisers -"gt w 5 speed ,which is the top tier . have fun
We had $2,000 stock civics under 200k miles. We had it all.
Hey brotha im looking for headers for that 1.6 4afe but im not getting any luck on finding any. Do you happen to know where you bought those headers for this car? Thank you thank you
Sorry it’s been so long since I bought that car. I have no idea where I got that thing. Good luck, searching!
@@jeffreymiller5 thank you for the reply brotha I greatly appreciate it I knew it may be a longshot :) nice car I have one just like it
I love this i have my fathers ek1 civic and it still turns heads ! Not going to part with it !! Worth more than a Toyota !!!
Disconnect the negative cable on the 12 volt battery for 10 seconds and then reconnect it. Start the engine and the IMA battery will charge in 6 minutes.
i love my pt loser
Nice video, you forgot to mention that the spare tire is located under the trunk like the pickup trucks.
Thank you, I appreciate it, as will my daughter when I replace her brake switch :)
Did you say for sale for $300,000???
This thing is clean!
Did you sell the PT Cruiser? We’ve had 2 GT’s, first a 2003. Ran it to 176.000 mile, timing belt changed at 113000 miles. Sold it to a friend, it now as 225000 miles, still no problem. 2005 bought it with 65000, just turned 86000 miles. Both have been 4 speed auto sticks. Just great dependable car, & fun & comfortable. Take Care , God Bless!
I did, great car, found someone who was ready to take good care of it!
The key is to get the car to pass smog check...it fails if there is a check engine light. So the arduino hack wlll do this? Then I can just drive it on gas.

I have an 03 & my reverse is the lower right. It's touchy, though. I have to put in first before it will go into reverse most of the time. I had friends that had older Volkswagens & the reverse was in the upper left. One of them didn't even have a clutch! She would take her foot off the gas & change gears..😮
5 spokes are dope compared to the OE wheels
Great video. Got one in white. Never heard of it before. Needed back up car and got one. Real cool car. Super rare and blends in with the rest of the S models without turning heads but 1 time when a guy knew what it was. Huge smile on his face and made my day.
I just cleaned the her valve I didn’t clean the ports, I never understood why the code kept coming back even though I replaced the egr valve. Thank you🙌🏽
Hope you still have that thing. It's no longer a $1,300 car!
Loved this video thanks! My bf got me a 2005 n I lovee it !
Bought my Cdn Em1 back in 2000. can't believe I have owned her for 23 yrs, and 9 months. almost time to take her out . but gotta keep the kms down. Great video
kms down
What other videos do u have on preludes?
What you are watching is part of a playlist, it is very simple to search and discover.
Super clean car sir, this video helped a lot, hopefully by replacing the ATTS OIL my ATTS light might turn off lol. Any tips on anything else I can do to see if my ATTS light is on? I also have 98 sh model?
Glad to help. Beyond what I've shared I don't know, these systems are older sometimes when they break they break and you just have to live with it. Hope the fluid change helps!
@@gray25xt thank you! I hope so too and if not I’ll just have to delete it and take the ATTS unit off which is super heavy.
@@gray25xtsorry man I’m new to all this but it may seem like a dumb question but what type of oil those the ATTS unit use?
Do you know where the mats are from?
No, the car came with them. There are many varieties out there though.
Great vid, i have the same car looking to some mods as well
hmm I replaced the 12v agm battery in my chevy volt with 280ah of lifepo4 (~4kwh), and then added 200w of flexible solar to my roof to keep it charged up. my mpg went from 200mpg to 340mpg lol. weighs about the same, maybe 45lb instead of 60lbs. eliminating that parasitic 12v load (~500w) and having the panels make up for it during the day when my cars parked at work/home. last ~10 gal tank i got about 1800 miles on. i put the lithium battery in a month ago and havent had to buy gas yet but its going to be about 3000-4000miles on 10 gal again lol.
is this 82 calculated by filling the tank or is it lies from the trip computer
Did you end up staying with the AC Delco or switch back to honda?
I sold that one. My next few cars have Honda MTF simply out of convenience.
Do you check the math at fill up? Both my cars are almost always optimistic by 2-3 mpg...
I do it's optimistic like you say but comparing using the digital computation is a controlled variable whereas trying to make sure the gas tank is exactly filled is not.
@gray25xt I have to say I disagree. Especially if you track the data (correctly), your calculated average will be much more accurate. Plus, the trend is really consistent so...
@@michaelsparrow8033 tell me how you can ensure that each time you physically fill up the gas tank it gets the exact amount of liters in there and therefore a constant data point and then you can say it is more accurate. It is impossible. It will always be a subjective moving target. Therefore when comparing one tank to another with different modifications like I am, the most objective fixed constant accurate data is the digital computation the car offers.
Love the insight on this kind of stuff, thanks
Hypermiling world record run soon?
Cool! Now do the opposite, drive like a maniac and see how bad consumption it can make
All PT Cruisers had a bad head gasket.
So did lithium give you a better performance and efficiency or do you need to upgrade the motor somehow for that, Aero mods? Maybe a how to video on how to get 88mph lol😂
I have other videos that cover my mods. Nothing much aside from lithium IMA setup. Most of this is driver mod.
It’s impossible to see better than glasses and contacts after LASIK. It’s a mathematical certainty. But I’m still glad you’re happy with the results. All of the friends regretted having LASIK. Some went back wearing glasses two or three years after. All of them report halos and haze at night, reduced contrast and etc. I just came to understand the actual permanent complication rate is 55%.
Wow! You’re making me rethink selling my Insight Have too many cars I’ve purchased from auction within the past year or already owned & cannot keep them all. Among them: 2006 Honda Insight MT 2005 Honda Element MT AWD 2016 Honda CR-Z MT 2006 Lexus GX470 2011 Acura TSX Wagon 1991 Honda Accord 2DR MT & 2011 Honda CR-Z with a k24 Recently found your channel and appreciate the quality content.
Thanks. How do you like the '16 CR-Z? I've thought of getting one one day.
@@gray25xt I really like it. I’ve owned a 2011 & 2015 before this one. The unique look & creature comforts of the 2016 are worth the additional $$ It’s very similar to the G1 Insight; but feels noticeably more refined, spacious, comfortable, and zippy. Will only need to sacrifice half the MPGs. If you like the G1 insight you’ll like the CR-Z.
Congrats! What was the record before li-ion battery upgrade?
77.0 on a nearly dead NiMH battery vs. 80.8 on a fresh Li battery. The large majority of mpg improvement comes from the driver.
@@gray25xt that's crazy, never been able to get more than 60 from mine.
