After you sell your turbo Miata...
... and buy a Geo Metro - How long do you get to keep the info for it in your signature?
Is it against the Federal Freedom of Information Act to not change it to this after a year: Robert McElwee and Sippy 1993 Geo Metro Convertible @ 0 PSI FE cam, 50 HP, 60 MPG 70 lbs of "added lightness" www.lightweightmiata.com/geo Lightweight Miata Forum: pretty dead right now . |
Just about through reading through the site. Interesting hypermiler. Can I ask why you didn't start with something less embarrassing to drive (no offense) like a CRX HF or EG Civic VX?
|
No offense, but gas would have to hit $20/gallon to make me want to drive a Metro. :giggle: At least its a stylish vert :ugh2:

At some point, I will move to a newer model Geo coupe and sell the vert but for now it is what I have. The newer one won't be as ugly but will cost me a bit in MPGs... |
serius man dont change your sig ever i dont wanna think of a world where you dont have a miata. :hustler:
|
We still have 2.5 Miatas right now. I'm trying to get down to 1.5 (selling the blue on on Craigslist).

Cool project man, I really enjoyed reading your site about it. I've been looking long and hard for a good condition rust free Festiva to do a similar build only with a 1.8 BP... |
Wow.
I drove a Metro LSi exactly like that one in '98-'99. Absolutely horrid on the highway, but surprisingly fun in town. A Hayabusa engine would be fun in that. |

There is little activity...but I'm debating going full lightweight. That part in Tropic Thunder about "you never go full retard" keeps popping into my head though. Just read the write-up on the Geo...that hurt. That many mistakes on that car would have killed me...but I see the value in it as a project. |
