Re: Any way i can make my Geo Faster

I just come in here to read the geo bashing, it's funny! Like the one where the dude said blow the geo up, get insurance money and buy a bike IS FUCKING HILARIOUS! Reason why people come in here to pick on the Geo is b/c it's fun, Geo is the brunt of all jokes cars. Whether you geo owners like it or not, it is. It's like the one person in your group of friends that everyone teases and makes fun of, it's fun for everyone but that person. That person in the automotive world, is the geo.

True, it is the bastard child of the U.S. automotive market. That's why I love em tho. Everyone's got a honda, acura, toyota, camaro, mustang. I've had em too. Who woulda thought a drop top metro could run with a Mustang?? Check out my cardomain link... And, i spent less than $2000 on it, including the body, motor, machine work, parts...everything..

Some things you could try with not that much effort and without hit your expenses any bad are:
A whole tune up including new sparks (maybe platinum), wires, rotor, rotor cap
4+ timming degree on your distributor
2" air intake kit
If you can, put on it a 1&3/8" pipe exhaust system for 1.0L, or 1&3/4" for a 1.3L engine.

That would make a difference by now.

For looking purposes you should consider bigger/wider tires (I say 185x60x14) (but if you are looking for speed, should try 12" wheel instead)

Hope this helps.

Re: Any way i can make my Geo Faster

You could try getting a 10 foot pole and making a sail! These cars arent supposed to be fast just reliable and good on gas

Re: Any way i can make my Geo Faster

Here's an idea:

1. Remove all seats, carpet, interior panels and chop off roof
2. Remove everything from the car, leaving only the innerstructure, body, front and rear axles.
3. Replace your four aftermarket wheels with the emergency wheels for weight savings.
4. Remove doors and hindges,hood,rear wing,head/taillights and trunk/hatch
5. Replace driver's seat with a plastic inflatable seat


And finally, Roll the car down from a steep hill.

Re: Any way i can make my Geo Faster

you don't have to get a geo to be different. There's lotus, Nissan, chrysler, etc... Nissan is my fav, not common, balls out power, nice styling, and not to mention reliable

Ehhh, nissans are not used as much purely because of price. I can buy 3 swift GT's for the price of a 92' sentra. And the aftermarket part market is very megar, and expensive. The only nissan with a big following is the 350z.... and yea, that's a $30k+ car just to start with. I paid $500 for my metro convertible. That's less than a car payment on a Nissan. So it's different, and affordable. Cause ya know, i'm broke Anyone wanna gimme free money?
edit: I forgot to mention, yea, Nissan's are awesome cars. powerful, reliable, and they ride nice! I've had a lot of cars. 88' dodge daytona shelby Z, 94' chrysler concorde, 98 dodge dakota, 91 dodge dynasty, 91' Camaro RS, 94' Infiniti J30, 93' chrysler LeBaron, 86' CRX, 98' dodge dakota, 90' Lincoln Continental, 02' chevy malibu... Then my first metro came, and that's all i've ever got since then. 93' metro hatchback, 91 metro convertible, 89 swift GTi, 91' firefly convertible(the black GT conversion), 92' metro convertible, 91' Swift GT, 92' metro convertible(new one with the GT conversion), and now, a 91' metro hatchback. The 91' metro is replacing my 90' lincoln continental, purely cause it gets 40+mpg, and the lincoln gets 12.

OR...you can go and steal a rocket from NASA, weld it on and ignite it. Remember to shift to neutral though. Guaranteed speeds of over 1 mph. The problem is that the cops will catch you once your rocket dies

Re: Any way i can make my Geo Faster

hahaah oh man this is great, the Geo bashing. How do you double the value of a geo?






Fill it up with gas

and geozukigt what makes you like Geos so much that that is all you get now? Nissan's aren't pricey, I think they are one of the cheaper imports around, cheaper than honda and toyota. I got my 95 240sx for only $4k and it was in great condition
