[99metro]

I had to buy a JDM motor 3 months after buying this car. The JDM motor cost $295 at the time/plus shipping. The JDM paid for itself in gas savings alone in 6 weeks. The car paid for itself in 10 months. That JDM is running strong and getting 60mpg after 40k miles. I never used a service manual to replace the motor - it's that simple. And believe me, I am no mechanic.

If you find a Metro with a broke motor, just replace it with a JDM, and happy motoring. I think they are running $395 these days. WELL worth the investment. It's pretty easy to salvage these and get them back on the road. Hmmm...sounds like a money-making opportunity...
