#ChallengeTime CTzens: You are given a Geo Metro and a budget of 5000 US Dollars, your goal is to turn the Metro into a high speed Time Attack car! Rules Below.

take the old suspention and engine out of a 2003 windstar sport,(free, I have a wrecked one @ home) upgrade engine and suspention(est. $2400)and spend the rest on tires and a splitter. then with whatever money that’s left i hire Randy Probst. boom 1:50

Hiring a chopper to airlift it from the start and take it through the circuit could do it.

Bilstein Coilovers (US300)… Toyota Silver Top 4AGE(US1200)…Turbo from a 2010 Subaru Turbo (US831)… Weight Reduction Bro {FREE}… Aero Soace Rims (US66x4) …TOYO proxes(US150x4)… Lawn liners (US10) =US3205
A decent 270hp maaaayb?

Don’t sell the Geo Metro and use the £5,000 and buy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-MITSUBISHI-LANCER-EVO-IV-4-320bhp-LOW-MILEAGE-HPI-CLEAR-NEW-CLUTCH-/152081593408?hash=item2368c4f440:g:7iMAAOSwKfVXJ7L9

Swap in the best motorcycle engine you can find and do nothing to the exterior. Sleeper status achieved!

Since putting in a different manufacturers engine takes a lot of time, money and effort. I would put in a G13B from a Cultus GTi which wouldn’t take too much to put it in.
Weight reduct as much as givenly possible
Wide lightweight wheels with full slick tyres
Thicker Anti Roll Bar’s
Coilovers
Uprated pads - Pagid RS4-2 or similar
Braided Brake Lines

The rest can go towards gas for lots of attempts at reaching 1:50.

I might try simulate this on Gran Turismo 6 with the closest car possible for fun

Put a maaad aerokit on it, because downforce yo, then swap it with a b18 and put a turbo on that bad boiiii and there we gooo world record!

Swap wheels and tyres for some 335 wide so it sticks in the corners for $1000 then rent an Audi rs6 and tow the bugger round!

swap in a 13b rew with a P port, sell the original motor, gut it and sell the interior as well. then spend the rest of the money on suspension/aero/tires

pretty sure ill get 1:20

Find a cheap LS,then swap the s* out of that thing,call randy pobst and send him on the track.
