I just got this shitbox for 400$ from my cousin. its FWD and Automatic, but its a hatchback! r8 and post yours!
do you actually like hatchbacks or are you just saying that because you're posting on /o/?

You can make those decently quick with a 2.0L swap.
All you need is the ECU and 2.0L engine from a 2004-2008 Suzuki Forenza or Reno. Bolts right in, using the Aveo wiring harness and everything. It can run off the Aveo's 1.6L ECU, but it'll run lean, hence the need for the Forenza/Reno ECU.
pic is a 2.0L swap with a turbo strapped to it using Opel parts sings it's basically an Opel engine.

Hatchbacks are my favorite! that and wagons. my dream car is a gti.
>>15168422
always been a hatchback and wagon fan. /o/ has had no influence on my taste in cars. most of /o/ has terrible taste.
>>15168447
>my dream car is a gti.
aim higher. Hot hatches are cool but hot wagons are where its at.
>>15168417
how much would the swap cost me? Ive been looking at forenza swaps but havent found a decent one for sale in my area.
>>15168457
im looking for somewhat fast and still a good daily driver. what wagon would you recommend?
>>15168463
depends on if you do it yourself or pay a shop to do it. Shop is going to be more expensive 1-2k minimum just because of the labor, and that's on the cheaper end since it's a straight-forward swap.

im drooling right now.
I took some time off work last night and took the chevy logo off the front and I think it loos 100% cleaner. bout to paint my steelies white and throw some wheel spacers in so my wheels will be flush with the fenders. any other mods I should try out?
>>15168512
>any other mods I should try out?
If you can track down the KDM parts for it, swap to the Daewoo Kalos front end. Australia got the front end on their equivalent Holden Barina.

proof for wheel spacers. it needs to happen
>>15168535
I live in Cuckville california there is no such thing as a KDM market all the kiddos here are either truckerfags or stance fags.
>>15168396
It's a piece of shit car and not worth any amount of money.
>>15168554
contact an importer who specializes in importing JDM half cuts and conversions. They should be able to help you.
>>15168457
Sport sedans are better, then roadsters are ultimate.
>>15168565
ill looks around.
LETS GET SOME OTHER CARS BESIDES MINE POSTED IN HERE
>>15168595
What you need for the Kalos conversion are the headlights, front bumper, grille, fog lights (if you plan to install them) and that black plastic tray bit behind the front bumper on the bottom. Fenders and hood are the same and don't need changing.
>>15168656
Im looking at some of the importers in my state and they are not very big fans of daewoo cars.
>>15168673
Not many are.
These guys may be able to help. It isn't listed on their site, but I'm sure they can get the parts for ya.
