- 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 TH-cam 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. :)
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.
I got a 91 storm for $750 58k original miles and 8 years of service records little rusty but runs good
У моего отца она есть в стоке с новым движком и пробегом 36700 километров
It’s really sad how 99.9% of car enthusiasts lose money on builds. Just impossible to make any money doing it.
Don't worry about negative comments. Cellphones these days are fine for recording.
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!
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.
Just got me 1 for fun. $500 done
Has it been a fun car? I'm really thinking about buying one and want to know what other owners think
Great find I rescued mine from a horse field. Love the header on it.
Thank you! I enjoy peculiar 90s cars it really doesn't seem like many of these are on the roads at all.
@@eriestreetgarage Only Storm at the Car meet this weekend. there is a few in my town but I never see them just hear about them.
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.
Why does this not surprise me?
The gsi were awesome
I paid 350 for mine and it doesn't look as cool as yours! Keep up the good work we gotta keep these going!
Hey I just bought a pretty clean 91 back in December. Is my dream car. Stoked to see some mentions of it still around.
I loved my 91. My sister also had the wagon version. they were both cool as heck.
@@catfisher420 I got my niece a 92 because she loved mine so much. It's auto so ez for her to learn to drive and such. Gotta keep it in the family xD
This might be my 2nd find, with the 4th gen camaro being my dream car. This and the nsx are on my list.
@@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.
@@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.
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😫
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. 🍻😎
This is my geostorm that I paid $350 for. I paid $350 for this Geo storm let's take a look at it. This storm cost me $350 cash. Let's take a walk around this storm I bought for $350.
That's a slick storm !
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.
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.
Go get a new CV axle!
Always loved these things, nice find!
i had 92 gsi and sold to buddy yr ago. 207k original clutch
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.
I loved my storm! I
I also had 1 back in 05/06 and i couldnt figure out why it didnt wanna run
Anybody know where to get parts for one of these? I have a 91
I love these cars
@16:15 it's a rust bucket. Junk it! @8:39 in the middle of the screen is another vacuum tube missing
Some of it is def very badly damaged but the floors are made from mirrors so I have to let it ride! :)
@@eriestreetgarage Nice! I loved the Storm when it first came out.
I want one of these but the pick your part that has one said they don't sell cars 😭
I just bought one for 100
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...
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.
That’s clean.
Your throttle position sensor wasn't plug in that's why is was idealing high never mind I just realized he did
You know when you use an impact you don't have to have the tire on the ground
Oh oh…looks like bad, bad, bad rust damage to the undercarriage/frame when you took off that right rear wheel. Hope you fixed/can fix that.
These things destroyed civics back in the day. My engine was a bit different. Bigger.
Nah. Stop playin 😂. I had a really cute ex back in high school that drove a pink gsi with pink dice in the rear view.
8:42. Ha!!! He said nipple!
That car looks like Wingo from Cars.
Oye donde se encuentra el conector de la compuradora del Geo storm año 1990 el conector para conectar el escaner alguien saber y me puede decir porfavor por q yo no lo econtre
Hey baby girl. How you doin?
Man buddy I got a 93 automatic and she rides like the wind
I’ll buy it
No way dude. That’s super grimy. He already told me he’d sell it to me. Don’t play like that.
That has a whole kit those rear quarters are wider
You could be right pretty savage for a storm. xD
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.....
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.
"The Geo Storm and Geo brand itself is a unique brand of tiny vehicles." wondering if a person who is 6.25 feets could fit in? Im very tall and probablie gonna buy a geo storm this saturday, all depends if I fit in or not, cos im 1.90 metters or 6.25 feets.
You'll fit just fine I'm 6'3" and fit ok 👍
If in the future you want to sell ill buy it.
Gud content
The car that every soccer mom craved before they became domesticated train wrecks.
Ha. I had a fine ex girlfriend that drove a pink one
how the hell do people find cars for so damn cheap
Brother if only I recorded the entire purchase process in the hood and driving it home. Wild shit lmao 🤣
