no shame on the geo metro man...that three cylinder is pretty stong on how it is stock. i've seen people use em for their homebuilt aircrafts and they seem to do really well...i personally wouldn't put that 3cyl on an airplane for my dear life. nevertheless...geo metro is pretty bad ass for winter beater on light to medium snow storms. it hardly get stuck (on me at least)

93 DX HB, seven trannys in the back, motor where the pass set was, strapped down. The Z6 intake proved to be a nice armrest.

I got the car given to me so i could lean to drive stick. 4 years 3 motors and a clutch later i still have it. I even sold it to a friend and 3 mo later he bought a new car and gave it back to me lol.

I dont think the little 12" tires on the metro would hold up to the weight of 7 trannys. Ive decided to turbo it as soon as i can get the funds for a megasquirt kit. I have pretty much everything else to do it.

i am really considering 13b rotoary. a friend of mine has oen with tranny and ecu for $300. put a 2nd gen rx7 rear end in it and it would be crazy. i am also considering mid engine b18. i have a good LS long block. for now it will just get good gas mileage

If I had better fab skills id do a rwd swap with that y7 it looks right at home in the back of the car lol
