I bought a $350 1990 Geo Storm and today we see it in it's current condition. As you can see it's pretty rough, join me as I go through and try to get it back on the road. The Geo Storm and Geo brand itself is a unique brand of tiny vehicles.
I apologize as this is my first RU-vid video, sometimes I don't know wtf I'm saying. If there's a slight interest I will probably invest in better equipment. Leave a comment if something like this interests you and of course sub if you have a chance. Also, after I jacked up the vehicle I placed an old rim underneath the vehicle to secure it. Always make sure to be safe and use jack stands or whatever method is necessary.
Let's take a look at what needs to be done and get her some new rims! Again, I apologize for the lack of equipment on this first video. Starting a YT channel has really been a dream of mine so why not. :)

Don't worry about negative comments. Cellphones these days are fine for recording.

Wow I remember when these things were all over the place when I was a kid here in Miami. I'll never forget the last time I saw one. It was in May 2006 at a dealership in Fort Lauderdale called Gunther mawstah. Someone had just traded it in on a brand new Mazda 3. This one has probly the best looking body kit I have ever seen. I hope you can keep that little guy going and save him from the crusher. Unfortunately these little isuzu built cars were not very reliable So there's very few if any left. I was only 11 back in 1990 but I remember them well.

It’s really sad how 99.9% of car enthusiasts lose money on builds. Just impossible to make any money doing it.

@badgerrinc1 3 года назад

I had a 90. Absolutely loved that car. Got over 40 miles to the gallon, turned on a dime. Worst electrical system ever made; the alternator burned out every few months and would leave me stranded. Didn’t take a eight point buck at 72 mph well. But the air bag worked great!

@DL30Creations Год назад

That's odd, mine actually snapped the pulley off one night just outside Gainesville and I made it all the way to Ocala just fine with lights and radio blaring to keep me awake. I didn't know what had happened until the next morning when I could see. I even drove it 12 miles that day around town until I found an alternator at AutoZone. That car was a beast I wish I still had. Never left me in a pinch anywhere.

This might be my 2nd find, with the 4th gen camaro being my dream car. This and the nsx are on my list.

@NothingButSilicone Год назад

@@louisinese I’m confused. Camaro, NSX, and then a Geo storm? Why the Storm? I mean, at least with me, the 2 door 4x4 5 speed Geo Tracker is actually really great off road, because it’s basically a Suzuki Sidetrack.

@louisinese Год назад

@@NothingButSilicone the geo tracker is great! Didn’t know what it was called a few months ago. I’d like to take it on a trip to the mountains. The regular geo is a guilty pleasure because of the customs I’ve seen. Z28 was the first and only car I got. It’s a dis functional sht box that can’t steer but it’s something about it. And the 90’s NSX is my end all sports car like how some ppl want a 458 when middle aged lol.

@2strokejunkie686 3 года назад

Had one way back when, absolutely loved that little shit box as my girlfriend used to call it lol, was painted grabber blue by previous owner, although I loved the color, the paint looked like it was sanded with a brick and painted with a mop haha, but I only paid 500$ for it, had 167,000 miles and when I sold it(wish I would have held onto it) it had 300,000 and was still going strong. These were great budget "sports" cars with lots of potential to be quite quick and would hold there own with the Hondas, and Toyotas etc of the era, my father's old 85 crx had a 12 valve 4 banger, as did my storm, very rev happy little power plant. You got a hell of a good deal paying only 350, these are getting harder and harder to come across, so I'd say you lucked up pretty damn good. 🍻😎

@catfisher420 2 года назад

I had a 91 and my friends and I cut all the roof metal out with a sawzall to have a convertible. I loved beating the crap out of that thing. It would take a pounding.

@rubenhernandez4394 2 года назад

The memories, my dad had one that was blue and this is back in 2004. When I was a kid I thought it was the coolest car then one day I left chocolate milk in the back seat, then it exploded and the car had a weird stink after that😂. He ended up letting it sit in the back yard till 2010 he took it to the scrap yard😫

@viciousvibes7829 3 года назад

I'm not to savvy with them motors, but it looks like a hose from your pcv is already going to your intake manifold. so you dont need the bung on that 90° elbow on your intake. You need an intake of fresh air to relieve crank case pressure. So you might need that little filter back on there.

@wanderingmercurymarauder761 3 года назад

Had a GSi as my first car. My mom ended up getting rid of it to buy me a new car... wasn't worth it. The GSi had a 140hp I4 and a 5-speed.

I have option to buy 1993 Geo Storm GSI for 3 000 $ - 1 owner, 107 000 kilometres mile age, decent shape (interior perfect state, some pain and rust issues). Is it worth to buy it? I'm from Poland and must say it's first time I'm seeing this car on EU market for sell.

This and the Tracker used to be the "in" cars with the snippy girls between high school and college back in the day... Mommy and Daddy would buy it for them, and then the young bitches would run these cars into the ground through their stints in college, expecting something like a brand new Honda Accord (or VW Cabriolet) upon graduation... That's probably why you don't see too many on the road these days, and if you do, there's plenty of parts to be had from all the Storms sitting in the junkyards...

@eriestreetgarage 4 года назад

My buddy had a tracker and that's what I learned to drive stick on. Was so fun to drive lol we have a lot of junkyards here in Chicago but no Storms have shown up yet, I keep checking.

@dumpsterstu4474 4 года назад

The windows and door locks are a bit touchy. Be careful pulling the window crank up. Also those look like GSI seats. Holy hell loads of rust! Just sell me the body kit along with the doors and the Block.....

@eriestreetgarage 4 года назад

Lol well I am going to at least get her riding somewhat smooth again and then we'll see what becomes of it. I am lucky the CV and ball joint didn't fail completely.
