MetroMPG's 1998 Chevrolet Metro (Pontiac Firefly) mods & repairs kitchen sink thread


(The unmolested 1998 Pontiac Firefly 1.0L 5-speed, shortly after bringing it home.)

I figure it's about time I made a "kitchen sink"/catch-all thread to document everything - eco and otherwise - that I've done/am doing to the Flea.

(I've had the car for 12 years now -- I think it's safe to say it's a keeper!)

If you don't know the backstory, the car was a lucky barn find: it had been driven less than a year, and then parked in a garage and not driven for 7 more years before I got it with ~2500 km / ~1500 miles on the clock.
