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

Isn't nitrous cheaper and easier to install than turbo?
Then you can blow the engine and show us photos of the carnage. Oh and 3cyl + n2o + bad engine mounts = even more hilarity. --------------------  |

I like the Prisms cause they are friggin' Corollas. lol. As far as having a Celica engine in it, I disagree. It has the better Corolla engine in it. If it had a true Celica engine in it, it would have the 3SGTE... lol... I wish...   Geo Metro..........
