well, ive been a member on here for a little while, and havent started a project thread so i figured id get on it…

this is the thread for my geo…no its not a 3 banger…and when you see pics i know youll say it looks like a saturn…lol its all sheetmetal dont worry…

but anyways heres how i bought it…

cheap short ram intake (ebay style)  
header  
advance auto exhaust tip  
26" spoiler…way too ricey for me…lol  
painted taillights  
nasty tick in the engine  
partially blown HG  
painted interior…not too bad though…  
stainless steel gauge bezel

i think thats everything…

thats what im going to do…im going to make the geo the one thats he dd and probably only build it with a full intake and exhaust and probably lower it and other things here and there and have a system and crap like that, and the impulse is going to be built up and be the monster of the two…might take it to lebanon valley once i get it and get some “stock” runs in so i can have a baseline to work from…

yea, i dont want an 86 or 89 or anything…i like the earlier 80s style…that has the 2 4x6 headlights instead of the one piece sealed beam…also has the 3 individual taillights on each side…not the ones that are blended into one big piece…

im going to pull my motor and exhaust out…possibly the tranny as well…havent decided yet cuz the trannys starting to slip…but it might just need a flush and new fluid…idk yet…

and as for messing with the geo…i want to fix that car first cuz im a delivery driver and id rather get 30mpgs instead of 30gpm… :lol

first, the whole front clip is a SUPER easy swap… literally like max 10 bolts. i’m sure the rear is just as easy. I always liked the euro style (89 up) headlights, but i agree the earlier taillights look wayyyy better.

i doubt a flush is going to fix your tranny, usually once they start slipping its all over. worth a shot i guess. easy enough to replace anyway.

i agree on the gas mileage. those old caprices suck.
