thought id start a quick project thread here. just a straight gemini engine & drive train swap into a chevette. nothing fancy sorry guys. lol. just after a bit more power & slightly lower ride height. not super, super low but just low enough. got most of the ground work done, just reinstalling & adjusting now. will eventually get a repaint after everything else is done. stock engine & box already out. engine bay tidied up & painted gem diff painted ready for install next job is clean/paint engine & components. rocker cover & manifold already done. zorst & muff painted. widened steels i picked up. 13x7's. probably run 175/60's. would prefer 50's but trying to keep the costs down for now. test fitting lol. will roll the rear guards to avoid any rub issues. should look pretty sweet once theyre cleaned up & painted. diff installed. sweeeeet!

I think 175/60's are a good option. Go to something like www.adenstyreshop.co.nz - he has cheap tyres available and can ship anywhere in NZ. 60's will probably save you $150+ for the set over 50's

If you want a 2" exhaust, I think I've got one lying under my house. Came out of my sedan that got shunted up the rear and written off. Prolly got surface rust, but it should do fine.
