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.
