1985 Chevrolet Chevette CS review from North America

Most of the work that has been done has been routine maintenance, such as tune ups, tire replacement, and oil changes.

The floor boards on these cars are very susceptible to rusting out of the floors, so be very wary of that.

Every other item I have replaced has mostly been for race performance. I put in performance plugs and wires, high performance ignition module, 180 degree thermostat, racing rims, air shocks on the back, new master cylinder (the old one did wear out), performance rotors, pad, and calipers, performance clutch, Pioneer CD player with 300 watt speakers, replaced the rusted out floor, lower radiator hose, rebuilt the alternator, replaced the serpentine belt, and of course serviced the transmission and differential.

The original paint job wore out as well, so I ended up repainting the car.

I bought this car 7 years ago for 500 dollars, and although it is ugly to look at it, is one of the most fun cars I have ever had the pleasure to drive.

With its 13 inch rims, this car handles well on corners and other obstacles, without the added need for power steering.

The motor is tough and dependable, so you can easily do things to beef up the horse power without modding the original motor too much.

Don't expect super car performance out of this 98 cubic inch motor, but I would have to say that with the right parts and skills you can definitely get your bang outta your buck on this car. I have a few more modifications to go on my car, like a supercharger and a functional hood scoop. The other part I need to replace is the rear spring due to an accident I had.
