It's funny how much cars have changed.

The Metros didn't quite change that much. Minor correction, but they stayed with throttle body (single injection) to the end - never had multipoint injection.

Would love to retrofit one to MPFI, though... Did they have it in Japan? Any of the 3 cylinders?
I know it could be done with some custom machining and a megasquirt unit or similar. Wonder what kind of efficiency gains you could get?

I feel like I saw some guy over at GeoMetroForum using a swift MPI in his Geo. Or at least trying.

I still wanna put a G10T into a Samurai variant. That would mean that I'd want MPFI, definitely.

So like I said earlier, I dropped the cam idea, but I did get the +10 cam gear and a block heater. The heater is still in the mail, but i'm hoping it is here before it snows...lol I live in Alabama.

Depends on how much we get, most of the time no. One year, we had a "blizzard" and they closed them.
I stopped my biking idea for the time being, it is too cold/too wet for me to start right now. |

A strong suggestion would be to start before it gets warm out. Try like mid-March, before the 70+ weather starts again. You'll appreciate the cool air to keep from overheating yourself, and you'll be able to work a bit harder without burning out.

What constitutes an "Alabama blizzard"? 
Around here they shut everything down when it doesn't snow. This is ski country!!  |
