Pics of my Other Toys, Rat Rod Mower, Geo Metro Rally Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Here are some pictures of a couple of my other toys. I hope you like them.
This is my 91 Geo Metro xfi. I'm trying to fix this car up for a rally car, or at least a little play thing for when I break the Celica or need to have it down for months at a time for upgrades. In the background is my farm.

Here is a picture of the suspension of the Metro. It has front and rear independent, but no sway bars. I could get sway bars off a Suzuki Swift GTi and put on it, but I'm going to just drop it and reinforce the body first and see if it still really needs the sway bar(s). I would just do rear first.

Believe it or not, there is a motor in this picture, and it's not hidden in the background somewere. The Metro comes with the mighty 1.0lt SOHC 3 cylinder that puts out a wopping 49hp. The car only weighs 1500lbs though. But, that's still a power to weight ratio of 31 pounds per 1 hp. It would be like the Celica only having 83hp. I bet that makes you stock ST guys feel like big shots.

This is my Rat Rod Mower. I got board last spring and made this. It is a Murry with a Brigs and Stratton 4hp motor. I've polished the head and ported it. You can also see the open are filter and the strait pipe exhaust.

Just for fun, this is a picture of my house were I grew up. I guess it's my parent's house now. They're selling it and moving to our other farm. The new house is smaller and better suited for my parents, but it's on more land. You can see my Celica and my girlfriends Monty Carlo (stupid GM pos). Edit: I just noticed that you can see my mom's big block Honda in the pic too.

Thanks. The house is 2 story with a 14 foot high basement and a Cathedral style living room celling. It's a fairly nice sized place. My parent's built it when they got married. You can notice that there are a lot of trees around, but when they bought the property it was covered. They cut the trees down and had them made into the logs that were used for the house. Along with some of the floor supports and main beems in the house.

awsome mower man. Very nice. As for ur rally metro, turbo it. My buddy can whip u up a intake box and turbo manifold, all u need to do is find a toyota CT9 turbo off a starlet turbo, then a OEM sidemount IC from a Skyline GTS-T and u can run about 8-10PSI safely and get it up to around 95whp. Its pretty awsome...my buddy's geo can out run my car up to about 70km/h.

I'm from the sticks too.
Looks like my kind of habitat. I was hoping the lawnmower
was a rider with a big block chevy, still kinda cool.

That metro has some potential, drop a hayabusa engine in it

Wow, I wish i had that lawnmower
You should throw that on the dyno, i bet that paintjob adds like 3 hp.

I don't think painting it had any effect on the hp. But the intake, exhaust, polishing, and carb/throttle mods have helped. The thing never bogs when I big patches of grass. I've thought about making some for people. If I get enough interest, I think I could sell them.
