Default Look at what I just bought for my daily driver!!

Oh YEAH!!! You can't beat 45-50 miles to the gallon! Can't wait to get it lowered and put some "powered by Vtec" stickers on it! ha ha that was a joke Now I can be the one giving out the car dings. A quote from fuminsho (my brother) "it is better to give than to receive." Last note....I don't know how I am going to get use to being able to park anywhere in a parking lot instead of out in B.F.E!

Very dependable. The guy that owned it before took great care of it. Runs great.

Go to the Junkyard and get some Geo Storm GSi wheels. Should make the car look a lot better for cheap.

And beaters are great, aren't they?

I got this little guy for $700. I figure it is going to pay for itself in the long run when figuring in gas and regular maintenance as compared to my R.

hmm...pretty clean actually.

Maybe you can find a nice B-series swap and drop it in. You never know...maybe the other riceboys will let you pass for an EG hybrid.

Walking might be safer. How do you like the paper thin doors?

Sorry, I had to.

A buddy on mine here in Chicago owns one and just pulled the head off of it last week (thing weights no more then 10 lbs bare).

The mechanic at the garage/machine shop he works for is P&Ping the **** out of the head just to see how the car reacts to it. I personally can't wait to see this this POP!

I dont know about a Metro but on a Suzuki Swift (same car as metro) you can drop in a JDM Suzuki DOHC turbo engine into it. They can run 12's. If you can get ahole of one of the JDM engines, Id go with the swap. Screw mileage, make your Geo smoke the ITR!

I wonder if you can drop a B18C in it.

I was pondering the idea since I drive around a lot for work.. I could save some $$$$ on gas... I need the extra room though!

good choice
