I often find it funny when people go to the bother of fitting an engine like this then ruin it by sticking fibreglass tat and big wheels on. Almost as if the 2.0 is just for bragging rights down McD's

Yeah thats fair enough, but once you start adding big wheels, kit etc you take away any advantage the 2.0 would have given.

I totally see what you are saying, that it will hamper the performance of the engine, but even with big wheels bodykit loads of ice, the performance is going to be a lot better than with the standard 1.2 in the bay.

Nope, fiberglass is heavier.

That Nova's not too bad really, without the kit, it'd be fine, so the only issue would be the bootlid.
