Hello Forum,
I've decided to embark on a challenging project by swapping in an ALH engine/transmission from a 1998 Beetle into a Honda Insight (to be purchased).
NOTE: This project will be very slow. I am incredibly impressed at how fast some of you have tackled the TDI conversion. I will be taking my time and don't expect this to be finished any sooner than 3rd quarter of 2013. That being said, I'm very meticulous and anal about details. Some of my updates may be that I cleaned something for a few hours before we even started work on it. That being said, I plan to document the project well.
All of it will be on my blog here:
www.hondatdi.com
I'll post updates and will likely have a lot of questions for the forum here. I'll mostly be lurking (like usual) but will pop in now and again when something major happens.
Wish me luck! ... and I'll just say thanks now to the people that will inevitably answer questions that will arise as the project moves forward.
