So I'm going through my local paper and checking out the car ads as usual... A $600 5 speed Geo is listed there. Kind of caught my attention, for whatever insane reason. Anyways, with my All-Trac leaving the casa, the 6th gen arriving begining of the month, and the van being sold, I was wondering...
I know its possible, but would it be worth it, to turbo a Geo, or other POS? I'm lookin for a car to have some fun with (in a "stupid fun" sense). Obviously, I am no mechanic, and I wouldn't want to f-up my Celica, so I am kind of thinking about getting a little shxtbox just to "trick out" and show up some of the local Civic jackasses. I was also wondering if anyone else has ever had a "Dr. Frankenstein" idea like this, and if you actually went through with it, and what your results were..... *Checks clock* 3:00 A.M. ........... Ahhhh, insanity never sleeps. -------------------- 1987 Celica ST (RIP) 1st car too

Yeah I was having random day dreams once and I own a 93 geo prizm. It has a 4A-FE in it, but the LSis have the 7A-FE (6th gen celica ST) in them. Im thinking that it really wouldnt be too much work to swap a 3S-GTE in if you really really wanted to lol, or If you did the swap in your 6th gen GT, you could swap your old 5s-fe into your geo you bought for 500 bucks or so and have it be decently fast. I think my prizms curb weight is 2300 Lbs
