Honda's use of higher-revving, lower-torque engines have been the butt of many automotive jokes fixated around the idea that Hondas are powered by lawnmower engines.
But what would a lawnmower-powered Honda actually drive like? Thankfully, someone did the heavy lifting for us by putting a $99, 6.5-horsepower motor into an early Honda Insight.

This is a fun project, for sure. I'd like to learn about these small displacement engines.

This is our forum friend Doc Brown! He changed user names once or twice, so I'm not sure that's right, but I always loved his exploits.

Thank you for the high praise! You can always count on me for the off-beat challenges. I really enjoy working through the engineering aspect of these projects with the added benefit of learning something new.
