I only fancy Neons for the sheer strangeness of creating a perfect Chav car from probably one of the most unloved cars on the planet.
I have a very very odd sense of humour and this just amuses me...
I'd also make it drip with chrome....

I love the early ones with round lights etc, and I'd really love to get a hold of one of the 3 rotor wankel engines, as used by the KGB, with 210 horses in it! They're not all that dependable, so maybe it'd be cool to get a late model Mazda RX7s twin rotor turbo and putting it in there, and keeping the Lada looking like a regular KGB-mobile, all black and dripping with chrome, I could embarras neds with it by day and kindnap capitalists with it by night! ;D ;D ;D ;D Why bother with a smelly 7's twin rotor, get a modern Mazda Cosmo's (I think) 3-Rotor.. that way you get modern reliability with the same idea in mind as the KGB one ridiculous horsepower and damn fine torque. The best part about a 3-rotor is it doesn't sound like a Rotor at all! (I hate the rotary engine sound, it's disgusting)

Ladas are great... Imagine driving one to a track day full of Porshes, Lotuses, M3s and the like... It was real fun ;D ;D ;D

In that beast you wouldn't even need a replacement engine, just tune the V8 that's in there, it's an all alloy, 5.5 litre V8, that even with original carbs and running on naff poor quality Cold War Soviet petrol was capable of 210bhp! Imagine what it could do with a bit of work!

My brother's rally weapon should be back on the road soon, hopefully in time to fully enjoy some snow-covered winter roads over Christmas! For some reason though, he isn't prepared to modify it a la my Photoshop...
