Someone else had mentioned a Geo with a B18 in it.. trhat would be nice..



I think I would do a Daihatsu Charade with a maybe 13b or if not a type R engine, but if we keep it mazda, then maybe a 323 Turbo engine..

 

there is a VW Kharman-Ghia at the guy i took my car too..wonder how much he wants

for it :P

 

you just need this:





A volvo 740 wagon, its rear drive, and has a solid rear axle, with LOTS of room under the hood.



Add big block chevy with nice quiet mufflers, and the properly offset wheels so they do not look to wild.



Let the beatings begin!

 

fiero is no good, there is no transaxle made for the 13b yet, (as far as i know)



hey they made a motorcycle with a viper engine, why not a 20B

 

I know of 2 Volvo sedans with fuel injected 302's in them.

Easy swap and they even have the A/C

 

I drove a gutted B18C Metro with a T3/T4 on 15PSI for a week. It estimate it pushed 450WHP easily. My dad didn't let me keep it, it was way to fast.

 

cool, I didn't know there was a rwd volvo....I'm always thinking what could be done if my mother-in-law wrecked her T5 volvo...mmm...inline turbo 5....those front wheels lose traction way too easily



but the leather and dolby 9 speaker make up for it!

 

Check this video out. This is my freind Claude, he had this car a while back. Check this out, when he went to Etown that day, they did not want to let him in since they thought he would abandon the car!!! SpeedNYC was there too!!

any idea on how he got the engine working in there?, some friends wanna know.





I thought honda motors spun different directions then normal ones.

 

Great question Lee, the answer is simple, when you have an engine like the B18, the easiest way to have no problems is to mate it to a tranny that will fit that engine. So all you have to do is make sure that the body of the Metro can fit (and if it can't, you can try and make it) the B18C, an ITR Type R tranny and rear end. This sounds very simple but it's not obviously, the Metro's engine bay is VERY cramped compared to an ITR and so is the underbody including the tranny tunnel. This car was heavily modded in all directions, and it worked great.
