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..

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!

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.
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.
