[email protected] · 05-04-2013, 04:55 PM

A few months back I got an email from my editor over at Honda Tuning telling me he had an unusual car he wanted me to shoot for a magazine feature. My interest was peaked and I had to inquire what the project was, when he told me it was a Honda Insight with a J35 V6 VTEC engine from a Honda Odyssey swapped into the hatch area and converted to rear wheel drive my jaw almost crushed my desk. What neither one of us knew was while the car had already been approved for the feature that did not stop the owner from continuing to modify the car. By the time I contacted the guys over at Mini-Tec, the people responsible for this mad creation, they told me they had to get it retuned because they just added a 35R turbo to the swap! Within a few weeks the “Frank-Insight” was tuned and was now pushing 400whp to the rear wheels and ready for its feature shoot.

Want the money shots? Check my latest blog post to see the engine bay/rear hatch set up:

i dont see the point, in making a shitty looking, shitty handling car have a monster under the hood, other than surprising some folks at the stoplights. some people have money to burn. very nice photography though dude.

Well the monster is in the hatch, not under the hood LOL he doesn't have much money in this car at all, he bought it as a salvage titled flood car and did everything himself.

Thank you for props on the shots!
