I am ready to part with this zippy little car. Its been parked for a
while and I cant find the time to get it back on the road so I am
needing to let it go and move onto other things.
It starts (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a bit of cranking) and runs great. 198,xxx on the motor. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. This car was actually fairly zippy when it was on the road. The rear end or something at the rear of the car is making a terrible sound again (I replaced the entire rear axle last summer) and I just cant get the time to look for parts for this thing anymore. The brakes are soft, Ive bled the system a few times now and replaced a leaking break cylinder, may just need a more thorough bleeding then I can do alone. Electrically, its kind of a mess. The gauges go back and forth from working to not, the temp gauge shoots right up as son as the thing starts. Heater core leaking, heater motor works but wiring is not functional. Someone before me hacked the thing and had it wired on a toggle switch, but this is no longer connected. Trunk is rotting, probably leaking around the gasket. Its the kind of thing that could be fixed in an after noon with some fiberglass mesh and marine grade liquid epoxy stuff. Add it to the list of things I never got around to. Body is pretty solid, some surface rust in spots (like the hood, and doors), nothing rotten through yet, undercarriage is almost like new. Front driver side fender is damaged, dented before I bought it. Whoever did it was able to hammer it back out, but its not perfect... The grill is falling apart from 30+ years of weather, I have an extra thats in better shape but needs some epoxy... NEW: battery, new front shocks, new tires (probably 5k on them) new tie rod (not sure which side anymore, have receipts) Comes with a BUNCH of extra parts : starter, 2 alternators (one bad, possibly repairable), injection pump, injectors, front and rear windshield, grill (which I was going to repair, but could easily be done and look way better then the one that's on there), a myriad of lights, light covers, 2 fuel doors (hinges busted), dash parts, incomplete instrument console (tach missing) While these things can be hard to find parts for, Ive seen these engines in a number of different vehicles (short bed isuzus, mazdas, etc), and this one would make a good transplant candidate, paired with the transmission. If you have a parts car, or can find a rear end for this car, you should be able to get many more years out of it. If nothing else, this car (and all its extra parts) could be parted out for probably double the buy it now price, I don't have time for that. Maybe you do?!? |

Future Classic | 1990-1993 Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse
Sat, Jul 23 2022You don't see a lot of Geo-branded cars on the road these days, despite the fact that the General Motors' captive-import brand was actually pretty successful for around a decade. Perhaps the most recognizable vehicle to roll into Geo showrooms was the Prizm, which basically amounted to a rebadged Toyota Corolla built in California (which means General Motors was competing against its own Chevy Cavalier in the compact sedan market). And then there were the Geo Metro sub-compact, known for years as the most fuel-efficient vehicle you could buy in the United States, and the spunky Geo Tracker SUV that carried on for several years wearing Chevrolet badges after Geo's demise. Those are all interesting vehicles, but for this article we're going to focus in on the sporty Storm model. Like the other Geo vehicles, the Storm was sort of a joint venture, in this case with Isuzu, the Japanese automaker best known for making SUVs and big commercial trucks. Back in the day, though, Isuzu had some legitimately intriguing little cars in its showrooms. The Storm was based heavily on the second-generation Isuzu Impulse (known as the Piazza in other markets). And, well, you see even fewer Isuzus on the road these days than Geos. MotorWeek | Retro Review: '90 Geo Storm GSi Why are the Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse future classics? They may never actually be "classics" in the same way a Ford Mustang or Chevy Camaro may be, but they are still interesting cars. And for potential buyers of a certain age, memories of gawking at sleek-looking Geo Storms everywhere you looked mean the nostalgia factor is high. If nothing else, we're pretty sure a nicely kept Storm or Impulse would draw a certain crowd at a local car show. While the Storm was way more popular with American buyers in the 1990s, the rarity of the Impulse means it's probably the more desirable option if future collectibility is a factor. What is the ideal example of the Geo Storm or Isuzu Impulse? The most valuable version of the duo is surely the rare Isuzu Impulse RS (the silver car above) with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that spun out 160 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. According to reports, only about 600 of these machines were sold in the States — complete with "Handling by Lotus" badging (General Motors held sizable stakes in both brands at the time) — which means they aren't very easy to find for sale.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
