Ha..OK Skids, lets not get carried away here...{];-(0). Better to contact the gym and ask them to suspend the monthly charges until she is better as I can guarantee you the InsCo will not pay for a Gym fee...they, most likely will pay for Physio if she needs it.

lol. worth a shot. I think my gym said they'll only suspend fees for military personnel that are on leave. Better give em call and see.

Forget the Turbo & clear the road boys. Momma's got a new blower!

toyota just brought this little guy to market with a 1.2L turbo with 114 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque. That would be super fun in the spark.

If you do the research the block in the spark is the same as the 2016-19 Cruze 

and actually the same block as the Malibu 1.5l

gm’s sge(small gasoline engine) line up 

Spark lv7 1.4l 98hp

cruze le2 1.4l turbo 155hp

malibu lfv 1.5l turbo. 163hp

they all use the same block so it wouldn’t be far fetch to swap either of the other engines into the spark..

if I had it my way I would use the 1.5l out of the Malibu but it never came with a manual trans option. The Cruze did. So

take the 1.5l Malibu engine use a Chevy Cruze flywheel and 6 speed trans(m32)

use the m32 gearbox because they make a aftermarket limited slip differential for it

they only real worry would be the mount on the transmission side might need some fabrication for the 6 speed swap. And 

I would use linkages from the sonic..

in theory it should all bolt right up for the most part and it would make a

chevy spark with 163hp 183ft lb of torque

and a 6 speed with LSD… all stock part…

 I think that would be bad ass
