Hey Slater.. I saw this for sale on Ebay some time back and being a Mini owner (a very sorted 1 at that) at the time i thought your Metro was the 'NUTs'.Reason i'm contacting you is i looked through all your restoration pics when you was selling this and i'm fed up with keep taking my Metros for suspension pump ups.. i noticed you made up a handy bit of kit out of an old master cylinder and wondered if you could let me know how you did it? Reply to kodi0305@hotmail.com

Cheers, Dave.

@D4vey70

get a cheap grease gun and make a fitting so it will screw on the schrader valve (you can use a metal tyre valve cap if your clever) just fill the gun with fluid and pump!

[Sneadster]

payed more for the turbo than the entire car cost itself

[TheeNinja250R]

nice little video mate :)

[brownskii92]

SHIT

[ldxml]

I guess it's funny how you fix up a Metro, but who in their right mind would spend all that money to do that?

[bradlyw420]

@ldxml Because it's something different. Not everyone had a built metro. I'ts kind of funny. It IS a geo metro lol! But it's cool if someone wants to build a different car. Not everytone has to have a supra or camaro or even a VW...

[hallgreenboxin]

turbo? jus sounds like the gearbox is whining

[bodypump101]

love the car. am in the process of installing turbo metro lump into my mini. but have problems with starting i have fuel to carb but no fuel to cylinders, engine fires when we put easy start strait into inlet manifold, im guessing its shit in the carb so a carb rebuild is happening 2mz, apart from that anyone else got any ideas?

[Volfmech]

I LOVE that whine it makes. I'l admit I've had my fair share of Minis and Rover turbos, But wouldnt mind a Metro Turbo :)

[RetroTurboJoe]

Absolutely class. I have an Austin Metro mk 2 998 that's gunna have the sleeper treatment. Good work!

[auldmini]

sounds mean and good,i have a mini or 2 but id still have a metro especially if it was this one(Y)

[stopglobalswarming]

Ahhahahhah at 5seconds it sounds like you ran over a cat.

[sldauby]

I agree!! LOL

[RaceAndRally]

No matter what you do its still a Metro.

Seriously, are you over 50? If you are under 50, why a Metro? You could get a Mini.

[slater3333uk]

ive got a mini, its one of the best minis in the country if i do say so myself.

The metro is way cooler tho, 99% of minis are utter shite and owned by people who are totaly inept at building cool cars, 99% of metros however are owned by grannys. understand?

[monkeyboy27476]

Metros are cooler than Minis, minis are owned by thick hippies, Metros are different, more interesting

[222world]

@RaceAndRally minis are more expensive, i bought a 50 year old land rover and im 14.

[sloth96cky]

That thing sounds sweet!

[civicboyz]

[hobagas]

[krilitain1]

[urbex2007]

You might find the thing making the noise is what you're sitting on. Turn it off and watch the video again.

[nipperoid]

ahem, u.s. man you are thinking of a Geo Metro if i am not mistaken, which is the US Readged version of a Suzuki Swift. this is a car made in the uk, Called an Austin Metro. so this is a metro. go look up Austin Metro. so there nyeeeh

[cocacolaholic]

[GeoMetroMan91]

[nipperoid]

[StevoElsupremo]

[slater3333uk]

what the hell are you talking about!

It had 4 when i put it in the car ;)

[tylerkb12]

Dude you're thinking about the US-market Suzuki Swift clone. This is in the UK; totally different car.

[THCmuzicalmasta]

@StevoElsupremo

gotta be a yank ! only people that thick on this planet ! LOL ....

[greyhollow]

That sound on the motor as it passes by, reminds me of the Delorean. What did you do to get that sound?

[burton76]

straight cut gearbox mate..

[piebarnett]

Its not the gearbox that makes the whine, its the straight cut drop gears.

[burton76]

its both really, in fact any straight cut gears whine, thats why they use helical on road cars to keep them quiet

[scoobydoowrxturbo]

most cars in reverse got a straight cut gear

[pwetherhill]

What engine is in it - a 1.4 k series and a T3? Did you use forged pistons and rods, and finally did you use any of the original parts?

[slater3333uk]

Its an A-series

[pwetherhill]

what sort of money have you spent?

whats your engine specs? pm me if you prefer, im on metropower and also rovertech. im running a 2.0 t-series.

looking into roughly the same setup myself.

[slater3333uk]

Well its standard bottom end, Ported head with MG sized inlets. 8.5:1 compression, Avonbar phase 2 cam, 10-12psi boost, RSturbo intercooler

Straight cut box, 4 pin diff, grey clutch.

I didnt spend much on it relly, about £2200 maybe. Most of the cost was in the gearbox/ clutch bits which was £1250ish

[pwetherhill]

Sounds good mate, is it a 1.3 originally then ported to 1400 or more?

What manifold and turbo did you use and was it easy to put together?

im suprised you used a standard bottom i would have thought forged pistons etc would have been essential at boost, especially on the age of the engine :)

[slater3333uk]

Nah the bottom end dosnt take much of a pounding in a turbo motor as your not running at high RPM's. Forged pistons are not relly nessicary. Cirtanly not cost effective.

Other then what i mentioned its standard metro turbo stuff.

[pwetherhill]

Is it hard to get hold of the manifold, ecu, downpipe and turbo etc? I reckon the 1.3 would be easy to find, but the rest must be a bit of a nightmare..

do you run any kind of ecu?

[analyzingfunny]

That was cool.

[razgta]

what a cool car a proper sleeper!

[matkin05]

How is it a sleeper you fool, its covered in race stickers!

Very nice metro!

[austinmetro666]

you ass razgta is right it is a sleeper were the fuck are the stickers DO YOU KNOW WAT A SLEEPER IS

[slater3333uk]

the only stickers are

'Disabled Driver'

'Neighborhood watch'

and the classic

'AA relay'

[tylerkb12]

Now THOSE are noteworthy performance stickers! LOL

[FlippinFox]

Wow! Metro Ftw!

[MetroMartin]

Sounds ace!
