the chevette along with a few other motors i had in me collection a while back...
cool little car i rember seeing this years ago at a cruise in carlow, is it a genuine hsr??
:eek::eek: wait till lawlor see`s you rollin round it that....
ps you know i love that thing..... swap you a cam for it...:D
not sure lad, been tryin to find out if its an original.. didn't get any history with it but it was a 2.3 on the original logbook and the only 2.3 chevettes ever made were the hs or the hsr! i'd like ta find out a bit of history bout it, be worth a lot more if its genuine!!Quote:

way the cams are going at the min yogi i would prob kill the carlton aswell...:D
well ware with the chevette... enjoy :cool:
that is so fukin cool! id love that,are they wolfrace slots in a split rim and slicks on the back? redtop is some engine i drove a kadett coupe before with one in it,great power
brother has 2 of these nice little motors
that merc is in limerick now i think, kieran stack has it
thats a really cool car! jesus my mum learnt to drive in one of them centuries ago! must show this to her! looks saweet!
serious:D if its not a hsr itd be a hs alright being 2.3 on book, be worth more if it still had the 2.3, but feck that, cars are for driving, and a redtop would drive way nicer than one of those old pig iron slant engines, any engine bay pics? std redtop or on carbs? i think i have a set of chevette hs wheels here actually:D
sweet motor the archs look savage:)
there standard on the hsr's :D:DQuote:

Have a Cavalier Turbo in the shed at home here, needs the head gasket doin.
Hope to have it back on the road soon but i've been sayin that for a long time too!
If i could get my "resident mechanic" ( he's on here and knows who he is :p) to get his finger out and get the head off it then it'd be a start!
Aaaanyway, well ware lad, do ya drive it much?
