Mid-engine Geo Metro on CL

Thought you all would enjoy this. Not mine although I'd love to see it perform... Challenge priced as well, for the adventurous.

Neat.

complete with Automatic.

why a 3.0 when a 3.8 bolts right in... and why an auto when a manual is just better in every way?

must have gotten a good deal on a rusted out Century or something..

don't get me wrong- i'd still drive it. but i'd be looking for a supercharged 3.8 and 5 speed to swap into it..

all that work.. and no flex agent in the paint for the front bumper?

I would have done something about the engine cover too.. using rubber hold downs would not work for me.

Having said that.. I always had evil thoughts of mating a second gen CRX to an NSX to create a midengined CRX... NRX? CSX?

Sometimes good enough is good enough. Its probably just what they had laying around, and they knew it was going to make a fairly fast, fun to drive car anyway, so why go out of their way?

I mean, if someone were going to nitpick the starting components, why use a GEO or a Buick v6 at all?

Transmission linkage?

you're putting an engine in the back of a Metro.. a shift linkage is a minor detail. and besides, there are still Fieros in junkyards..

Most important thing, it's challenge priced!
