Faults:

Diff blew at 170000 kms of pure thrashing.

Needed a new water pump after 146000.

Minor rust in doors.

General Comments:

This car is exceptional. It handles great and is not slow. I put a stage 4 cam webber and full exhaust on. It made it like a rally car - it easily beats V6 Commodores and kills Falcons. Drive it right and it will impress anyone.

It's also easy to control and does great burnouts for a 1.6. It gets both wheels spinning easily without an LSD.

I would recommend it to anyone - it's a little beast.

Faults:

Had a few small problems, nothing major though.

- Had a bad wiring job from the previous owner, had to rewire some of the car.

- The standard 1.6lt died, so I fitted a 2.0lt SR20 Nissan turbo motor.

- One front indicator lens used to leak not matter what you did to fix the problem!

- Standard brakes were terrible. Replaced with 4 wheel disk brakes.

General Comments:

I would have to say that my Gemini was easily the most fun car I have ever owned. Especially with the SR20 Turbo motor in it.

It handled reasonably well for an older car and once the new brake setup was in it stopped well too!

Interior wise it was really comfortable although a little cramped in the back, which doesn't matter to you when your the driver!

Faults:

Rather big dent in the boot and between the rear lights.

Front window leaks and leaves a puddle of water on the floor.

Automatic choke turns off too early.

It takes a few goes to put the car in reverse.

It has an AM radio which is a bit of a drag.

Exhaust grinds on speed humps at stock height.

General Comments:

Very Cheap and fast first car.

The 4 speed manual is quick for the age of the car.

There is no rust what so ever on the vehicle.

The car handles beautifully even though it doesn't have power assisted steering.

Goes quick for a first car.

Cheap to fix up and modify.

Faults:

Old 1600 went quickly.

Seats, rust and dodgy door seals.

Torque tube mount is broken after a hard launch off the line.

General Comments:

The mew 2.2 beats even the newest of cars with 134kw at the wheels.

The rust has made it lighter over time.

Faults:

After owning my car for six months the welsh plugs began weeping. After pulling off the head we found that the head gasket, bearings and crank shaft all needed some attention.

The windscreen leaks during hard rain.

General Comments:

The Gemini isn't a bad little first car, they are easy to handle and economical.

If you go through the right sources they are a cheap car to hot up.

My car is red and that makes it better than lots of other cars.

The shorter gear ratio's can be a pain but come in handy in some situations.
