Nearly there, the ZZ/R and ZZ/Z geminis only came with g180w's, which are obviously 1.8L but yeh these motors would bolt straight in to a gem. Gearbox xmembers are different between chev and gem. So is the diff, its much smaller in the chev but i'm not sure if they driveshaft is different where it bolts up.

Nah the chevette motor is completely different. Its actually from a viva - imagine how slow those were. Plus its actually a third generation, the first was only 1057cc, the second 1159cc and the final 1256! Its hard to imagine any engines slower than the 1256 ay. The 1600 from the gemi is part of the g series family which is used in the bellets, 117s, gemis, piazzas and rodeos (maybe some others) varying from 1.6,1.8,2.0 and 2.6 from memory. I think the gearbox xmember and driveshaft are different, but as far as the engine isself goes, they will all bolt into a chevette if you use gemini mounts (and chop the front out of you engine bay ) And yea gemi gearboxes are whack the selector is long as and comes from right up near the firewall. Gangletron.

Nah Methodz, gems come with G161z motors which are 1600cc ohc things. They go well, mine struggles..needs a tune up but definately has potential. Alot better than the super dirty 1256 in the chevettes.

Oh yea i do remember a couply people lookin at me abit funny. And yea it was cold and un-idling. Oi i'll stick up my new vox wagon in that section too.. springs out last night, looks pretty low. Only got gay bickies at the moment.. check it out abit later bro

Running like shit?! How dare you! Heh nah it doesn't idle when its cold ay, maybe that was the issue. How you know it was running like shit? haha I'd be after around 2.. maybe abit more depending on interest. Methodz, your old one drives round auckland with a repainted bright orange roof (the wrong orange) and tri's. Gutd

yeh, I was almost going to leave it yellow with the shopping lists all over it and raise it on some chromes but I thort I'd leave that for the hondas/evos to do I have the business card from lemmington auto elect. It has a mk4 cortina on the card parked next to the gem, stickered up the same. What a park up ay! Oh and nah I don't like these with back bumpers on. Maybe its just me...

The dirty thing in all its 'glory' Nothing special. Standard Gemini, paint on cut springs and mags. G161 with 4 speed behind it, can nearly get up to 100! Nearly up for sale finally. PM me if anyones interested. (p.s. if anyone wants to hassle what it is, take a look at what it was! )
