Really? I looked at it like 3 months ago. I had it on watch until it was taken off and reposted 3 times and it got so annoying. IDK how you didn't see it. But it seems he takes it down for a couple days then reposts it about every other week.

If I could do a crazy project, I would buy that and make my SS/TC twin engined....keep the one in front and put this one in the rear...then link the trans to the rear axle, link both the transmissions to the shifter and then the steering from the front and rear.....it would be a 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering 520 hp monster...jut a tune would get you 600awhp.......granted you would have to pay for 2 seperate tunes but how sick would that be.....haha

I've been thinking the same thing since I drove the soltice gxp, how bad would that engine be in an atom, but that thing is so expensive

I have actually ordered from Schram before and was really disappointed. The item was advertised as new/excellent condition but when it arrived, it was obvious that it had been abused/used. It took a while to get them to take it back and provide a refund...

I was about to say the same, about 9 years ago someone built a dual engine first gen tiburon, and it made it into a magazine, they says it was quick as hell but not worth it, due to how much time and work it was to sync the drive trains, and I think the red bull audi tt gt/lm race car from a couple years back, was also a twin engine car

Very true...I was thinking (briefly) of doing a WRX drivetrain swap into a metro about 7 years ago for an autocross car, but I just couldnt bring myself to do it since it has almost no safety features and would have required a whole lot of custom fabrication. Ended up building a supercharged miata instead.

However, it would have been a beast....they weigh in at 1830lbs...take the old motor out for the swap and you are looking at around a 1500lb base weight.....with an LNF swap I bet you could still keep it under 2000lb curb weight...just imagine what that could do with slicks and a tune...probably be able to dip into the 11's and get 40 mpg......wow

One thing about the metro is that they use to offer a awd version in its sprint counter part in Japan. I was looking on there forums and allot of people say its not to hard to get the set up. Most of the people that are doing the swap seem to be from canada.
