well as you know the polo has gone to be straightend so our shed had nothing in it so well the chevette ended up in there and this started to happen.

I'm mainly doing this for my dad to have a rally car again but obviously i will be having a go to.

here is a pic of him back in the day in his chevette

so here are the pics of what we have done so far.

redtop fitting

as we pushed the engine so far back we had to cut the bulkhead away

new bulkhead panel made

why did you have to push it that far back?

WIN

for a good handeling rear wheel drive car you really want cylinder 1 in line with the front wheels or behind it. so we have managed to get them almost in line. this is why we could have had it futher forward but may aswell do it properly.

what redtop are you useing ??

vauxhall 2.0 C20 XE with coil pack.

do you have an endless supply of manta As and chevettes? If so, pass a chevette my way!

Looking good by the way, a friend of mine is finally converting his 2.3 chevette to a red top as its proving a more reliable option

Haha. I have 2 chevettes and 2 manta As so not endles. My dad rallied a chevette for 15 years so have alot of parts and thinking back the amount of chevettes we scraped for parts was silly with the price they sell for now.

true that, what events you guna be doing? I'm guna start doing local sprinting as soon as a find a cage..... But i will be navigating on a few 12 cars etc next year

it will be a road rally car but with a log book if we want to to a few stages.

did it already have a log book then? you should do the longmore loco at xmas :-)

no it doesnt already have an msa log book but my dad is a nat b scrutineer with elegebilty as well so he can issue them.

haha no. she wont have arches as she is going to a road rally car. daft thing is will spend less on this and it will be worth more than the polo.

I do actually hate you!!! Jealousy is such a bitch

no it doesnt already have an msa log book but my dad is a nat b scrutineer with elegebilty as well so he can issue them.

sorted

Sweet m8 keep us updated :)

That thing is going to be mental, what kinda bhp is the red top runing?????

legend

standard they are 150bhp and that how it will be to start but ther eare plans to raise the compression with omega pistons and a set of qed cams with a chipped ecu

great stuff that
