Those geo are super light and agile! Even bone stock if you're not scared of the noise the engine will make, man it will go anywhere you feel like going! My friend got one and we go for boot sometime and before a 100 km/h he smokes me!
Used one once for mushroom pickin(morels no magic lol) and I could go places 4x4 could not even go! So short, narrow and light! I remember once at the buyer camp a big redneck with is 100000$ 4x4 that looked at my car and start laughin and sayin that this shrimp could not even go up the hill! Nobody said nothin back, they all knew espacially the native that crossed my path! So the next thing you know the next day on top the mountain was a big swamp, and right in the middle of it, the redneck stock, couldn't help it I had to piss him off! So went up the trail to gain speed and just go! went by him doin some ricochet on the mud, his eyes just fell! Turn up to be a dead end, turn around and ricochet by him again, he was just pissed! Lol
Anyway this car wouldn't die! After a month of hard beating I punctured the tank in the middle of nowhere! Nobody for 50 km! Had to rig up the pump in the windshield washer tank! But end up to kill the pump with all the tape and silicone I used and contaminate the fuel! All around with all the repair needed the car was toasted! The engine ran great tho!
To come down that with a R1 engine this would kick some ass! And the funny thing is, that I was thinkin of doin a 4x4 fifrefly(geo, sprint same thing) somehow!was more thinkin of a lada mech but lada drivetrain + R1 would kill! A tought I might try one day!
I've seen a fiat with R1 engine! This little car was drifting like crazy!
