1996 geo metro engine swapped 2.2 turbo

For sale here, a 1996 geo metro, engine swapped with a 2.2 turbo ecotec motor. Made over 450 horsepower on a dyno 2 months ago. Very fast, but not much fun for daily driving. Asking $6000 or possibly trade for odd or uncommon vehicle.

I love ridiculous stuff like this. I wouldn't ever do it, but I'm glad there are strange people out there that do.

Lol wut

Trade ur Mazda Miata 4 my Harley Davidson~inspired Cruiser Beach Bike!

Year, and mileage unimportant.

Here's the bike I have to trade:
I personally customized this Kustom Krusier Roadster model Cruiser-Beach Bike with actual Harley Davidson chrome badging and a full leather Corbin saddle (with a backrest!) taken off of my 2000 Harley Road King Classic motorcycle to make this unique bike the dream machine that it is...
NOBODY has a bike like this one!

Other add-ons and mods:
* Corbin leather saddle with backrest and springs for comfort,
- from my Harley Road King Classic motorcycle, the seat alone cost over $750 new.
* Shimano 3-speed hub with chrome handshifter,
- ya gotta have 3-speeds, as the Kustom Krusier Roaster is a bitch to pedal without the 3-speed gears.
* Harley-Davidson leather saddlebags (also from my H-D Road King Classic motorcycle)
* Springer front shock/fork
* Extra wide beach handlebars with chrome handgrips
* Chrome pedals

This Harley-Davidson inspired Cruiser-Beach bike is a real head-turner.
Everyone asks where they can get one... they can't,,, but you can, right here & right now.
I've invested over $1,600 in this bike and you can have it for your Miata.

Come bring your Miata to meet this one-of-a-kind bike,
Nick

The freight to get it there bumped up his cost of ownership a little and he's considering keeping it and trying out the tracks in the area.

Good idea. Hallett about an hour north and east of OKC is dominated by Miatas. It's a tight, technical course that Miatas excel at.

Hell, isn't this right near someone here?

1990 Red Mazda Miata MX-5 Convertible With Hardtop - $1800 (Clearspring)
image 1 of 3

1990 mazda miata mx-5

fuel: gas
odometer: 129000
title status: clean
transmission: automatic

1990 Red Mazda Miata MX-5 Convertible With Hardtop with 129000 miles for $1,800. It has a new battery, radiator, fuel pump relay, front speakers, harmonic balancer, timing belt, gasket, and water pump. The hard top is in great condition. It has been looked over by a mechanic and the last thing it needs is a new crankshaft. At this point, we have found another vehicle that fits my needs for a commuter better. It is at the mechanics shop where he will show it and answer any questions. If you're interested, he is also willing to discuss repairing the vehicle. Otherwise, you can haul it and go. Please email with your number if interested.

Had a little key way weeble-wobble, did she?

Someone buy that before a drift-kid does and butchers her.

$1,800 for an automatic shortnose 1.6 with a fragged crank?

Might be worth picking it up on a low ball just to re-sell the hardtop. Not sure what I'd do with the rest of it. Auto-to-manual conversions are a bit of a pain in the ****. I'd probably wind up parting it out...

Why would you have professional photos taken of that? What was he planning on doing, framing it as a testament to his own stupidity? And who the hell bedazzles a valve cover?

The 'professional' photo looks about as 'professional' as the build...
