Ok, I'm doing the gze swap in my '92. Should I make it a daily driver that's a racecar or a racecar that's a daily driver?

Whats the difference? Full blown race cars are shit to drive on the road tho, you dont want uniball uppermounts and bronze/bearing bushings, they transfer every bump so well.

Just build a racecar and drive it whereever you want.

Do you have a second car? If not, just DD.

Mainly just wondering about suspension upgrades, lightening by removing the creature comforts like carpet/AC/and what not, and how far to take the exaust upgrades. Yes I do have another vehicle to drive (a 1971 Ford F-100) but it's shitty on gas. I really would like to keep up on the track but still be able to drive it to the dock when I have to. Anyone know what kind of gas mileage I'm going to get out of that 4agze with a 3sp auto?

Well, that settles it. Can't have much of a race car with a 3spd auto.

First swap should be a 5 speed. Then worry about the engine.

If you can't drive stick, learn.

Again a 4A-GZE swap wouldnt constitute a race car either.. What we're talking about here is just souped up street cars. But you can race a street car and theres no shame in that if you can drive

ghost91rolla · 07-10-2010, 02:49 PM

well i mean jus the tranny swap no engine until i know what can pass smog in cali

***CommrclDiver*** · 07-10-2010, 05:19 PM

I am going to do the tranny swap at a later date and time. Funds are low and I got a great deal on the gze. And yes I can drive a stick.

Flashmn · 07-10-2010, 05:26 PM

I dont know if I would even want to use a 3sp with a GZE and I'm not sure the 3sp can take te stress of a 4A-GZE.

***CommrclDiver*** · 07-10-2010, 06:52 PM

By what I understand, the 3sp auto is the stronger of the 2 available. In '90/'91/'92 the geo prizim was offered with the 4age and both the 3 and 4 speed auto. I am going to do a tranny swap but need to find one before that happens. I figured the a131l would get me by till I locate one. If it does crap out on me then I will just be forced to look a little farther away for a manual tranny. I know a few 400+hp cars with auto trannys that do just fine. Don't count the auto tranny out just because it's an auto.
