Well, after years of heckling my buddy for driving an old metro and making fun of the cute size of the pistons when he rebuilt his motor, I finally broke down and snatched one up myself. Haha. I picked up a 95 metro hatch 1.0 w/ 5spd. After a good once over, I've since taken it on two weekend trips to NC (1000 miles round trip) without any issues. I loved the $100 gas bill. Less than half of what I'd been paying in the past!

Besides minor cosmetic fixes, my current mods are:
- Air filter diffuser, ducting and cover deleted
- K&N filter
- Passenger and rear seats deleted
- Spare tire, jack and tools deleted
- Driving techniques (constantly fine tuning)
- Headlight rewire w/ relays
- H4 housings w/ LED bulbs (now driving at night isn't a death wish!!)

Have, but not installed:
- Magnecor 8.5mm plug wires
- Halo plugs

Ordered:
- Fuel flow meter

Future:
- Header
- Exhaust
- Heat exchanger
- Either economy camshaft and modified head, or Economy head w/ 10.5 CR port/polish
- +10* cam sprocket
- Underdrive pulley
- Low viscosity oils
- Block heater

It's been great learning from you guys already!

Mark

You know, I'm not sure. I'll have to ask.
