hello everyone my name is mike and im from Va. i have a 1997 Geo tracker 4dr lsi. i see most of the stuff in here is 4x4 related, but mine is 2wd. the mods ive done so far is air ride suspesnsion, 18" wheels, shaved the sidemarkers off. the only engine mod i have is i made a sustom intake since i couldnt find anything for the 16v. im looking into doing a motor swap or possible adding to the current motor. the motor i was looking into getting was a 4.3 chevy motor. i see that suzukiconversions.com has brackets and stuff to do this . has anyone dealt with them or know of anyone else making brackets. or can someone point me in the direction of building the 16 v. i saw this company in australia that makes a supercharger for it but they havent emailed me back with anything. here is a pic of my tracker. thanks for any advice.

nice lookin ride! I have heard BAD things about suzuki conversions. For a street rig I would go with a turbo set-up on your current motor.
Wildgoody on here is selling kits I think.
-
yea ive heard bad things about suzuki conversions also, thats why i was asking about them, figured someone would have heard something about them. thanks for the complements on the tracker

Welcome!
Your ride looks good!
I vote for a turbo also. The 1.6 16v is a great engine!

1lowgeo--Dont you live in hampton roads?? i think i see your truck in chesapeake all the time I used to see it at the Taylors DO-IT center parking lot in greatbridge. If Its the one im thinking of. I work over in greenbrier area. Nice looking ride. I picked up a tracker with hydros that im redoing--Check it out on my cardomain site in my profile-thats what it looked like when i bought it.
-
yea i use to work part time at that autozone for awhile. i live right off of battlefield.
-
1LOWGEO do you still have your stock rims and wanna sell them to me?????? i need to get those wide wires off of my low tracker
-
Nice looking Geo. Have you thought about a V-6 Suzuki conversion? Do a search for 2.7L or V-6 swap. 95XL7 and Eric both have the Suzuki 2.7L in thir Sidekicks and they haul ass.

Welcome aboard 1lowgeo
Nice looking ride. must suck on speed bumps tho ;) ;D
I would like a lowriding Kick too but my driving style doesn't permit me to
do one.
I don't like to slow down for bumps. ;D
-
speed bumps are no problem as i can hit a switch and lift it up to almost stock height. ;D. ill have to admit though after looking though zukiworld these past 2 days ive really started wanting to get a 4x4 tracker, perferably another 4dr. How do you guys think a 4dr with the calmini 6" lift on some 31" tires on 18" wheels would look? Keep in mind the area i live in is very limited for off roading, so the most it would see if probably a mud puddle or maybe the beach down in the outerbanks nc. thanks for the complements on the geo though. have to admit i was a little nervous about getting bashed for having a lowered tracker. but definitely not the case. awesome site

and I just moved from portsmouth a few months ago. Loving the wheeling here in arizona though :P
-
Awsome ride.
How'ed did you lower it?
It sounds like air bags?
Hydrolics?
Is the front cross member cut?
Do you have any underside pics?

Well, the 18's would not be a good choice for serious wheeling, but if you're not doing that, I would say it sounds sweet! You'll have to trim back the front fender openings some, in the back probably. You have plenty of room behind the rear seat to put in a massive audio system.

it has bags all the way around. i originally lowered it by cutting the coils. the front crossmember hasnt been cut but had been thinned out a lot by dragging the piss out of it. heres 2 pics of the tracker, one draggin and one underneath shot.

P.S. yes hcgalvin, 4 doors do rock, any one got a 4x4 4dr for sale? ;D
-
1lowgeo if you look in the trading post theres like 3 or 4 sidekick 4dr 4x4s for sale i think one is a sport but cant remember but i think they all wanted to much money for them maybee you can talk them down though
-
I dont think you will ever have to worry about getting crap for having a lowrider here. As long as its a zook. ;D
