Might also want to resize the pics as it makes the forum menu look un-professional

Still goin strong

Post by Gerkin »

Hows it goin, the gemi's still goin stronger than ever. I've had a few minor dilemma's with it but it's such an insane car to drive that it doesn't even matter. It's the best car i've driven so far for handling that's for sure, and it's pretty damn quick now too because the engine's friggin indestructible. rev's to seven g's no worries, don't plan on pushin it harder though, seven's comfortable :shock: but i reckon it's putting out between 80-90 kw at the wheels now. anyways enough ranting. got ur datto yet chris?

BTW for anyone who's interested i'll post up new pics but this is now for sale. as nice as this car is i'm going for an upgrade :cry: and can't afford to have both. looking for $4500

updates: engine been rebuilt approx 3000 kms ago, as the 2l with new pistons, gaskets, bearings, stage 4 cam etc. (for more deatils pm me)
