I’m wondering what GO FAST upgrades everyone is making? 🙂

I added a mid plate, polyurathane motor mounts and a polyurathane transmission mount so far. Yes I was running stock motor mounts with a motor strap last year. Man I thought that motor was goint to pop out of the hood when I launched MY BABY :scared: :doh: . Anyway, I might get a couple of hundredths out of the new stiffer set up.

I also ordered a BECK sheet metal intake and a new 90mm TB that will be ariving in a month or so. Last year I was running a FAST 78mm intake and a BBK ported and polished 80mm TB. I’m hoping for a couple of 10ths with this mod :blue:

Thats all the mods for this year unless I hit the lotto or something 👼

What are you guys and gals doing?

3.0…would you need a cam for that? I bet you would be close to 12’s with cam and 3.0.

I had a similar thread going but here’s the basics of what I’m working on…

- Wolfe 6-Point Bolt-In Rollbar (done)- PA Racing Tubular K-Member and A-Arms (waiting for A-Arms to get here)- Power Steering Cooler- Freshen the Front Brakes (new pads, cut rotors)

Some other stuff I plan to have done by mid-summer…

- C5 Front Brakes (freshening my stock-size stuff is just a band-aid for now)- Race Seats & Harness

Doing a total rebuild of a 1990 Geo Metro.

Straightening out the body  
Putting a 100hp Suzuki 4-banger where the 49hp 3-banger sits  
Swapping over the front and rear disc brakes from a 92 Swift GT  
Et cetera…

In other words, I’m spending a lot of time and money to build the most impressive shitbox around… 😃

When I’m finished, a friend and I are going to install (if I can afford it) SSGTI’s stage two turbo kit, and I’ll have a Metro with four times the horsepower it left the factory with… 😃

Hahahahahaha. To think Shaler is the only one of us doubling our HP during the off-season. :kekegay: I guess there’s some merit in that, even if it is a Metro.
