Hey Zep,

Why do people do up Geminis? I've never seen the attraction, my dad owned one for years, good relaible little car, but butt ugly and I can't drive them with shoes on, unless I want to hit the brake at the same time as the accellerator!

I'm not having a go, I just don't understand... invest in a Zed instead!

Hey Doco,

I can tell you why I did up and raced a Gemini. Their cheap. If I plant it into the wall, or clean up a pole it is only a couple of hundred for an entire new car if need be ...

Stock they also have a transmission and diff that can withstand well over 200hp and take a hell of a hammering, so when you work/upgrade the engine they don't start breaking elsewhere, like commodores and torana's.

Their light (900kg) and are rear wheel drive (fun :classic: ) and with very little work (under $500) you can make them out handle an MX-5.

Mine has a 2L DOHC Efi engine from japan, moded suspension and sports seats and I'm quicker than an MR2 and out handle an MX-5 comfortably.... So basically it is cheap thrills... Now that I've got more money I doubt that I'll buy another one, but damn I've had fun with my first oneLOL

Cheers,

Ross.
