    Default WALESY's new daily: 84 TG Gemini

    Make: 1984 TG Gemini SL.
    Engine: 2.0ltr carby 4cyl.
    KMS: 307,000. (motor was rebuilt 10,000kms ago)
    Paint: morpheous purple with silver metallic and chrome highlights.
    Wheels: 17x6 shit rims.
    Gearbox: 5 speed manual.
    Diff: no idea what gears it has.
    Purchase price: $3,000.


    Mods:
    *extractors.
    *single 2.5in with a hotdog, rear resonator and dumper tip.
    *some sort of aftermarket carby, unsure what it is.
    *KnN air filter, KnN rocker cover breather.
    *electronic ignition.

    *dash painted purple and silver.
    *3 gauges sunken into the dash above the glovebox on the passenger side.
    *sports steering wheel.
    *SL/E door trims.
    *some cheap nasty headunit with no speakers hooked up yet.

    *Lowered with super low king springs all round, i have ultras for the rear to make it sit level.
    *Gaurds have been rolled.


    Performance:
    *for what it is... quite surprising actually! unsure of any power figure doubt its all that much.


    Future Mods:
    *midnight express window tint.
    *looking for a 5 spoke simmons look-a-like 17in wheel, polished lip/gold spokes.
    *general tidy up of wires in engine bay and under dash (its quite messy).
    *put rear ultra low springs in.
    *get front bumper resprayed, and not making the same mistake the old owner did by not using the correct primer (this is why it has flaked so bad).
    *gilmer drive (YES! they actually do make them for the Gemmi!!!).
    *new floor mats, possibly new carpet depending how bad it is when i get around to having a look.
    *replace drivers side taillight with a new one i already have, (old one has a broken lense).
    *matte black the engine bay for a bit of a tidy up, the old paint is flaking and looks terrible.
    * new sticker for rear window: "when i grow up i wanna be a commodore!"

    well heres a few pics guys its dark now so i will get more engine bay and interior pics tomorrow





    And of course it has already been branded with a Malicious intent sticker, for those of you who havnt heard me talking about it a really good mate of mine owns this brand of up and coming clothing label! hes based in perth but.

    rotor gem! #### yeah. theres a few getting around making big numbers

    the queen street gem runs an RB30 from memory thats pretty sweet, pretty heavy over the front end.(noooow it shows the pic of the engine XD)

    ive been in a gem that runs a NA 4ZE1, goes ####in hard. if i had my choice id go the 4ZD1 with an E1 head and turbo.
