IN your case more speakers would probably just make it louder, with no effect on quality.

Buy a set of infinity Kappas for the front. Run them of an amp, Your set.

All you need to know, based on a gemini but there fundamentally the same.

Proma as above, available form Mag and Turbo.

Webbers can be really expensive to tune. It depends iof the carbs are just out of balance/need a retunen or if they need to be rejetted to suit you engine. Emullsion tubes can be $100+ each and jets can be expensive too.

Fuck, chode, slowest project eva award

Yeah pretty much, student sydrome... no cash, no time

Done a few small things.... i think. Mainly just problem solving,(lots of problems). New brake master, new front sway bar,re-did the whole interior. Got zeps old lsd and disk brake diff going in, in the next uni holis.

Expensive girls are mostly to blame, no cash to get it painted.

Oh and i found out my sump was dry this afternoon, thank fuck i didnt start it.

More Pictures;

Looks shocking, Really need to do something about the engine bay o_0

Signs that diff is on its way out: large vibration at speed, making wirring noises and shuddering when turning sharp coners. A sudden clunk doesnt really sound like a diff problem, unless you had just dump the clutch or similar.

My bet, fuel, carb pump or filter. Firsty your not running it on 91 are you? One year is plenty of time for a carb to fall out of tune or get clogged with crap. Replace the filter and check the pump is running smoothly.

Matt

That is wikid! Imagine the sound of the engine just behind your back! Bloody cool, im with the rest of ya on RR, that magazine is the best mag eva, hands down! All you escort fiends should buy it, had a mad tech/ dyno day-issue on pinto's a few issues back. Had a starly with somthing like 230 hp pinto in it!

.

how bout a scan?

The magazine was zeps, headin round there tonight so i might be able to convince him to throw it up

Doesnt look like the engine has been rebuilt, so duuno eh. 150k engine thats been modified and probably thrashed, is getting in the red an due for a freshin up some where along the track

what the hell was that isuzu engine in !?

Adjustable top arms That would be a ginormious effort to make, not to mention expensive. Sloting the b/j would be much easyer, although I do admit some-what more ghetto approach.

I think i'd take that same amount of money..... and spend it on a Camaro.

OMG, i was scared just watching that, not slowing for corners at 300kph! What a legend.

I have infinity kappa componets. Easly one of the best speakers on the market. Save your money and buy a pair, you wont regret it. That or a pair of Focal's

Matt

I'd roll the lip out of the gaurd's and camber the wheels.

Camber can be adjusted on the Gemini or Chevette by sloting the top stub axle ball joint holes.

Burnt Rubber, is thats safe/ legal ? Done it on either of you gems? You got me thinking now eh!

Matt

Driftin, Me and zep wantt to do the same thing for out gems. How low does you gem sit, and what are rate options on them?

Fiat of some sort? Strada maybe?

Or the 2l turbo one

What was involved in putting the piazza diff in?

Could do a write up in project discusion.

Piazza diff is just a little too wide, needs to be shortened. Other then that pretty much bolt up. Depends if its the early model or late model diff though. The early model had a torque tube-which makes it easyer to install.

Matt

Pretty cool! Dont even have those over here, nearest variant is a chevette hatch. Looks soo much better with the kadett front!

Only issue i can see is parts, if the engines a bit tired you'll really struggle to get anything for it. I know of a place in northland that sell pistons and rings for them, but as for a vrs or any of the bearings im unsure, just make sure that its in good nik. They're a great little engine in standard form.

Zep i think had intended a little more then what a stock 4zc1-t could offer, so his g161 is a pretty solid little build. If you serious about making power, then you may aswell just buy anyold g200 or 4zc1 and start from the ground up. Once you start putting forged pistons/ different turbos ect on/ in it, it doesnt really matter if it was initally a turbo motor or not.

Matt

UPDATE.

Installed a One inch master cyclinder, solved all my braking issues.

Also installed a pertronics ignition, makes a real differance, idles much smoother and its far more responsive.

Have also put on a whiteline sway bar and some better front pads.

Really happy with the way she drives at the moment.

Matt

The close up of the head/engine/brakes is actually of a differnt car though, take a look at the differences in the i/c ect

red = pos

black = earth

yellow = accessory

blue = to amp or similar

then every other one goes to the speakers

If your taking about the back of an Aftermarket stereo wiring is usually

Yellow = battery +

Red= ignition

Black=earth

Blue with white stripe=automatic antenna

blue=amp/auto antenna(depends on brand of stereo)
