I think when you race for $$$..u don't care how bad the car looks.....in the end you go home with some $$$ which then your DD is some luxury vehicle or something !!

Very true. If anything u like the car to look like shit, cuz then u can consider it a sleeper.

That is a good point. I was just trying to explain to the people who drive SI's who are ragging on the car for being a Geo. They should step back and take a look at the CIVIC badge on the back of their car. They can't go around judging cars by their makes and models because they are in exactly the same place as the (Neon) SRT-4 and this guy even if they won't admit it. I love my civic when it works but still consider it a decent starter car (I have high standards for what I consider a nice car).

I think its a riot. I would hella rock that car. I would race everyone I could and then ask them how it feels to be beat by a Geo.

NARFALICIOUS · 05-18-2008, 04:58 AM

coulda put it in a rex instead.

I give the guy props for being unique, and think it's an awesome swap. I love unique-swapped vehicles like that.

I'd hate to see what some of you guys think about this:

hahaha - what a waste of money

WHY oh WHY!?!

It'll be faster than our Si because of the lack of all the weight.

radiocontrolhead · 05-18-2008, 03:02 PM

I'd definately drive it! GEO POWER! w00t!

vince1128 · 05-18-2008, 03:05 PM

thats just scary lol

blacklabel7470 · 05-19-2008, 01:53 PM

Were did you get those pics of the Geo from. Becuase im 99% sure thats the same geo that was at the EF meet around me. It has a k20 swap and looks like the same interior. Tach and everything.....

**dentrecords** · 05-19-2008, 02:03 PM

hey that's pretty cool.. I admire that they accomplished it.

Leonard1818 · 05-19-2008, 02:20 PM

Hey, to all the people telling the Civic owners to step back and look at their civic and quit doggin on the geo, I say go ahead, rag on the geo.

I'm a proud civic owner. I WILL scoff at Geo's. Geo's don't have a resale value or a huge aftermarket following. Geo's aren't credited with bringing the "import scene" to the popularity it is at nor do they come with any options near what my Civic has.

Sure my Civic isn't an "Acura RSX type S", it's a Honda Civic. So what? It's a nicer car than an RSX type S. By telling Civic owners to "step back and realize you drive a Civic", what argument would you then use for someone like me 1 year ago? "Step back and realize you only drive an Acura?" So you slap an "A" on there and a few letters instead of a name and now it's something better than "just a civic"?

I don't think there's anything wrong with driving a Civic and I think it's fine to get high and mighty about your Civic. There's nothing wrong with being proud of what you drive. A geo with a K swap is, I'm sure, A monster... but so are a lot of Honda swaps too. I am one to be able to appreciate someones hard work and dedication and a Geo swap is a good example of that. I personally would have rather put that motor into 4 different cars before a geo, but good for them for doing something different.

That's all.

Why the hell would you put a less powerful engine in a WRX?

Who cares if it's a GEO, it's just a body shell at this point, it's not like he threw an intake and exhaust on a stock Metro and thinks it's fast. Not many here have much grounds to pick on that car, it's going to be a screamer if done properly and could make one HELL of a track car.

This is the same thing as swapping a K20 into an old CRX, they're both small econo boxes, yet the CRX is magically cool because it's got Honda written on the back.

Asif22 · 05-19-2008, 02:56 PM

I think it's a cool idea...It is probably really fast. But I would never do it. I would rather put it in a honda...Why? i dont know...

You drive a Civic and have an ego? That's laughable. I drive a Civic too, and it's a pretty decent compact. However, you're in no position to talk shit about someone else's car. Especially since it's one class below the Civic. Drive what makes you happy, but just remember. There's someone who always has a better car than you do.

Back on topic, that looks like a sweet project. That thing must fly. Here's a real sleeper of a geo, Buick LC2 swap and RWD conversion.
YouTube - 9 second geo *~*
