1992 Geo Metro LSI/R Convertible review from North America
"Very cheap car to mod... And looks awesome when done right!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is very reliable.
If well maintained, it will last forever
The roof is a bit leaky if passed through an automatic car wash :)
Only thing going right now are both front ball joints... At 160,000km!!
General comments?
Modified 1.3L in-line 4 ported, polished head, modified intake allowing a 2brl. Tbi (out of 4.3L V-6),header, HEI ingition, computer mods, power pulleys, forged everything... Power around 120 hp at the crank. Still does 40 mpg... Doesn't seem much, but put it in a 2000bls car, it's called zoom zoom!!
Handles great!! Has 2" drop, with nitro shocks all round, 15' wheels on 205/45r15 Goodyear Eagles.
Tranny: stock 5 speed. With center force clutch.
6000 watt sound system, Orion 15"(1) & 8(2) DCCV subs, JVC XR-5 deck, Alpine DSP EQ, Alpine V-12 amp & Quartz 4 channel 1500 watts for highs.
