Hello all - I wasnt aware this forum existed! Wow- loads of wicked DIFFERENT cars of all shapes and sizes. Awesome..this is the place to be looking!!! So heres my car. Its the trendy BROWN coloured one..... I built it over winter and its going really well. I've kept it looking standard- even the 14" BMW wheels are very close to the standard chevette wheels (although I've now a nice set of 13" slot mags in the garage....fitting soon..... I love all classic cars and bikes and for the money chevettes etc are great! Some of you will have seen this car on Chevettes.com and Mazda rotary.com where I posted up the entire build as I went. The link if your interested is here.... www.chevettes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11982Heres the engine... I recently had it on a dyno and its putting out 115BHP which is exactly what a standard Mazda 12A should be putting out. I've another good engine which I'll soon strip down and open the ports up - depending how big I open them up i'll be looking at 170-200 if I keep the standard nikki carb and with carbon seals a rev limit of 9,000 +.... Its going to be a giggle. alex

That's awesome, another 'ultimate sleeper'. How much does a standard chevette weigh?
