Geo 7, great idea? Detailed instructions inside
Yeah, so with the new first gen I got, I was thinking of putting in a 3 cly geo metro engine, to save gas money. And as a side benefit, it would have more torque, and be twice as fast in the process. I really think this may beat the LS-1 dollar/hp ratio. (geo engine is $100.00, 42hp= $2.38 per horsepower). Tell me guys what you think. Oh yeah, look at the instructions carefully, they kinda are complex, but you may get the idea.

I once saw a hyundai that had 2 engines. One drove the front wheels..the other the rear. It was a vary fast car,mostly because of the traction. But it was also turbocharged and ran on methanol. Interesting project anyways.

****, Ive seen ipods play DOOM before. Thats more than enough computing ability.
But see, if you really wanna do it RX7 style, youd take two cyls off of a geo motor, and modify the existing geo motor you have and add two more onto the block with an intermediate cylinder. Its only about $10,000 said and done and it gives you 50% more displacement!
All you need then is a turbonator and one of those fuel saver pills for your gas tank

3Tech Performance can hook you up with a performance or economy 3-cylinder cam, either which will actually produce a performance increase over the stock cam. I know you probably mentioned this as a joke but these engines do actually have potential... enough to propel a 7? Hmmm... I dunno. But with a stock 1600-lb Geo Metro, they actually do pretty well!

Ipod and doom. Sounds like somebody's got too much time on their hands. How the car coming?
