some bloke had a gemmy for sale. it was running a worked 05 WRX motor (worked, as in 556HP at the wheels) and a full AWD conversion. he was asking 10,000 for it... it needed paint cos it was an 'unfinished project'. if i had the spare cash i reckon it would have been a fuggin awesome buy!
Holden and Subaru shouldn't mix.. the Nissan mix was almost bad nuff :P
4by gemmi? i'd drive it, would be insane
attn Über geeks, i play Second life. Patrio Graysmark.
That would be an awesome car! Was there any pics of it? I saw a MK1 Golf with full Impreza running gear on the UK ebay a while back. I think the motor on the Golf was just a stock Impreza one though. It ended up going for about 6000 pounds in the end.

Whoever said 'There is no substitute for cubes' had obviously never heard of Jet power
unfinished project going for a good price. sounds like the guy couldnt get it engineered. just a cynical guess at least...

*Grabs thread, guides it in a better direction...*
An all wheel drive gemmi would be sweet. And 556hp is a fairly well worked motor. Sweet.
Can anyone see some seats breaking.....

my only problem with it would be that a car like that with that much power would not have been driven lightly...
Would have to have at LEAST 17's/18's to keep the traction..
14/15" whatever they come standard with.. would fry the tyres in a blink!
now that is an issue worth adressing on the car
extremly good pint there
wonder if everything is recipted
meh if your going 2 buy a car like that your not goin 2 drive it lightly yourself so i dont think it would matter that much.

that is true... people dont buy/build street driven race cars to drive them like a grandma..Originally Posted by 96vscommodore
Well.. the way I see it, you modify a car, you drive it how it was supposed to be driven. If your car has a few wank factor mods, then yeah.. I'd still granny drive.. but if it's more like off its nuts.. then yeah, I'd hammer it most the time -- safely of course..
agreed.....Originally Posted by tr3nt

yeah im in agreeance with that but if you have a few "wank" mods should you drive like a wanker :P
Ima cop shit for this..
All I've got that stands out, is 2.5" Custom Exhaust setup, CAI, K&N, Belmouth removed from Throttle Body...
soon to buy 9th set of tires. 8th set are looking quite defectable..
just over a year of ownership. HOWEVER Since defencive driving (from a court case) I have calmed down about 80% of my driving. Hardly rip it up now, unless its in a real backstreet away from harm, with myself in the car. I'd class what I have in the way of performance as Wank Factor.
lol. id give u shit but i think most ppl on this forum probly only hav about that level of mods. exhaust, CAI, K & N filter and lowerd. so realy i cant talk either. lol, meh theres utha things which are much higher 'wank' factor mods than those.

Whoever knows me/my car.. I've concentrated a LOT more on making a custom interior, and nice sound setup rather than getting from A to B in the quickest time possible.
2,500 is the estimate I put on the Sound System,
3 Spray Cans on the interior,
countless swear words, and hours spent on the interior.
My initial aim was a nice simple, effective cruiser that turned some heads.
why would 17/18 inch wheels give better grip?Originally Posted by tr3nt
ECOTEC KICKED IN yO!!!!!!
it wouldnt unless u increased teh actual diamter of the rubber surface.

Yes, there's more diameter of wheel to turn so to speak.
