Geo Metro, What do you know? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I've picked up a Geo Metro FXi. I'm thinking it's a 91 or something. Anyway, I'm going to park the Celica and work on that beast for a bit. It has the 1.0 3 cylinder motor. I was wondering if an old 4age would fit in. I plan on making a screeming demand out of this car btw. Already got plexy for the glass and gutting interior. It's that root, or stick with the Celica and put a big upgrade on it. I'd kind of like to fix up something I can afford right now, and save the Celica for when I have money. I want to get a nice 3rd or 4th gen 3sgte for the Celica, and I just can't do that. So, I'd like to put one heck of a NA motor in a Metro. They make some nice turbo kits for the 1.0 liters. I might go that root instead of motor swap. But I'd like a NA car. It'll be like a go-kart I drive on the street!

Bulldog, why start a project with a POS like a GEO? If you want to build a real light car for cheap and make it fast, there are ALOT better options out there. For me, it would be a 85-89 MR2. You can get those things for under a grand in working condition. They are just as light, have a suspension built for turning, and look ALOT cooler. If you need a back seat, there are other options as well.
