geo trackers FTW!



lmao i **** myself everytime i see one of those things on the road hahahaha
Those things are awesome woods beaters. They fit anywhere and seem to be able to handle a fair amount of abuse.

I had to change an automatic transmission on one a few years back and that really sucked. The transmission is bigger than the motor and its really jammed in there. The transmission is a modified version of the one used in old Chevy Chevettes. I remember my boss using Chevette parts to rebuild it. The owner of the Tracker was a 300 pound slob. With him in it that mustve been one slow truck.

My Geo doesn't quite look as good, and isn't a soft top. It's an ugly red beater.

Believe me, I get crap for it all the time. The guys at work even poke fun at it and laugh at it because they all drive big-*** pickups and SUVs, LoL. Of course, they get a lot quieter in the summer when I roll up in a Mustang convertible that can leave anything they have in the dust.

well maybe your motor was just clean. I just seafoamed my intrepid a few days ago and i couldnt get it to stop smoking for over 1/2 hour! i literally sat on the throttle at like 4800rpm's (rev limiter) for 10 mintues and my whole street was FILLED with smoke. i just left and let the car run, came back 20 mintues later and it was still smoking like a champ lol. my stang didnt smoke that much either though..
real intelligent

I tjust comes in a can, you can get it at any parts store. I believe you are supposed to put 1/3can in you fuel tank, 1/3 in a vacuum inlet, and 1/3 in your oil. Dont quote me as i have never used it, but it is supposed to clean out the inside of your engine

That is correct. Easiest way to get it into the engine is through the brake booster vacuum line.
