My favorite Geo MetroGnome fact is that it lapped Laguna Seca faster than Jeremy Clarkson in a Honda NSX.

[@CasualGearheads]

Clarkson on Playstation or Clarkson in real life? :D

[@bump_draft]

The engineering creativity that went into that thing was just off the charts. Vendler and crew made something truly special and it made me smile every time it buzzed past at 10,000rpm.

[@TheRedbeardpirate]

Next they should put the 900 back in the front for dual engine all wheel drive dominance!

[@trevorthomas6043]

Where would they mount the gas tank

You guys nailed the entertainment factor on this one.

[@JoeKerman]

I love these videos that zoom in on little parts of lemon culture! Its hard to keep up with what everyone else is doing, even if you are at the race!

[@ghomerhust]

i love motorcycle swapped tiny cars. theres always the GSX-R swapped Smart, that thing runs like 10s in the quarter and sounds amazing! does some pretty sweet donuts too

[@wolfsworkshop9095]

I would love to make a busa swap fiat 500/126, just because of the engine sound alone

[@CrabSpirits]

This car was the inspiration for the stillborn Charnal House Firebug. After street driving that car, I can't even imagine driving it a full stint on track while suited. These things are loud, HOT, laboring to drive, and the vibration is tuned to a brain wavelength akin to experiencing a battlefield next to a heavy machine gun.

[@quillmaurer6563]

4:37 When they include that bouncing lawn mower clip First time: That's pretty funny Fourth time: Meh 48485828th time: ROFLOL!!! Something else I'd like to see would be more weird Prius conversions, just because that is so against all that the Prius stands for (I say this as a former owner of one). I recall someone once Harley V-Twin swapped a Prius for Lemons, that was pretty good.

[@SamCyanide]

What's the original called

@@SamCyanide The bouncing lawnmower clip? No idea.

[@carpetsomething]

Love how the subtitles at 1:31 where its just engine noise say "music"

[@kasuraga]

This is why I LOVE motorcycle swapped cars haha. They just sound sooooo damn good.

[@ZerotheWanderer]

Has anyone done a widebody Metro with some sort of V6 in the back (Renault Clio V6/Shogun)?

[@GR1MRACER]

Needs to be in Forza.

[@ghomerhust]

someone needs to do a Gran Turismo or Forza style game but its nothing but hoopties, and you can stick stuff like "park bench" rear spoilers on, and swap harley v-twins into priuses... id totally buy that game, and play for years

[@gielamonster]

got another overall win at Thunderhill in 2011 - "Geo Players Special"

[@willjunkin732]

That thang is awesome

[@fredygump5578]

I think there should be a value deduction based on weld quality...measured in porosity per square inch. Did y'all see those welds on the suspension mount???? (Also, 1,459,253th. Because that number isn't taken yet...suckers!)

[@cliftonsheldon9134]

From someone who has built many superbike powered race cars like forumla 1000 and sport racers I can attest small bike powered cars are insanely fast and bike motors are f-n sweet

[@TediI47]

it sounds fucking rad

[@beezball]

I adore this.

[@lesklower7281]

In Australia these are the Suzuki Cino and we got them with a 1.3litre four cylinder motor and there was the GTI which was a faster one and there was somebody in Australia who built a all wheel drive Suzuki GTI

[@mtnman1984]

The layout reminds me of a shifter cart

[@AmaroqStarwind]

Does the $500 cost cap reset when you're upgrading an existing LeMons car, as long as the upgrades are incremental?

[@richieb7692]

With a bit of work, the Suzuki Hyabusa engine can either have a turbo or nitrous added. That would make the straights a bit more fun.

[@bastholio]

Oh damn, i want one to daily ...

[@be4tnl]

so.. why didn't they use the rear wheel parts from a subaru justy? it's the same car but with awd

[@CasualGearheads]

I don't think Justy's rear diff can take the power and abuse. Besides, even Justy parts would have to be heavily modified to work with the motorcycle engine. Plus, we have many more Justies in Europe, it's not as common in the 'states.

[@puttitat2851]

Third wasn't taken!

[@petergriffin4629]

I wonder why there aren't more motorcycle swaps. Like a Yamaha vmax smart Roadster! That would be an absolute weapon

[@fearlessshadow5856]

Could we get a documentary on the guys and gal behind LeMons

[@RayleighCriterion]

They should make a Metro with dual stock engines, one in the front and one in the rear.

[@notenoughram3312]

nice car

[@harshithsadhana7475]

can you run a car with no doors, hood,trunk like the top gear Botswana style.

[@dinobigliazzi8329]

Nope. Body panels are required.

[@eduardojud56]

put some special prize for those who put a Reliant Robin on the track

[@quillmaurer6563]

Though I know they aren't as roll-prone as Clarkson would have us think, it would still be hilarious if it had wheels on the top, or if they just made a running joke the whole day about it flipping over. Good luck finding one in the US though.

[@CasualGearheads]

@@quillmaurer6563 I dunno, if you stiffened up the suspension, threw on sticky rubber and played with weight distribution a bit like Deltawing - obviously the engine needs to go in the back - you could potentially maybe get something fairly stable. Probably not. :D

[@ItsBruhzzle]

4$ steel? Can't believe it

[@Prelude610]

If they really wanted to win something, not sure what, they'd put the front motor back in, keep the mid-engine, and race that. I guess they could put the fuel cell on the roof.

[@SamCyanide]

Hahaha motorcycle engine go brrrr

[@Thevwmethod]

We? Race lots of cars like the CBR swap in class 7 AutoGrass cars some are twin engine . . If there was a English! Lemons I use a metro with a mgf 1.8 turbo and it would be shit..

[@plektosgaming]

A smart car is even lighter.

[@Detailverliebt]

I am wondering since you don't value work time at all why are people not building tube frame cars in a Radical SR fashion. The tubes cost nothing, some fibreglass costs nothing and most importantly you can build a very simple car without complicated electronics and stuff. I guess a 100horses motor is pretty fast in a 600pounds car. Isn't that a loophole? I mean all these Metros with engine swaps in the rear, it is basically the concept of the Class-B rally cars but cheap, isn't it?

[@emenesu]

THAT IS A SUZUKI SWIFT! NOT A METRO! WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
