Good gemini mechanic? East / NE suburbs Adelaide

Post by gemi_coupe »

I'm just wondering if you guys could recommend any places (people?) that do good work on geminis in this general area.

I just dont have the time or experience to do a few things I want to and was wondering what my options were, I'm not really keen on going to some generic Ultra Tune / Midas place where I can pay $300 to have some apprentice screw up my car.

Cheers

I want to see about a legal brake upgrade, and I really dont know enough about brakes to trust myself replacing anything other than pads and fluid.

Also like to sort out a few electrical gremlins with the alarm, probably replace the starter motor as it's getting a little tired. It'd be nice to get the weber tuned properly, make sure it's set up right for my worked 1600 (massive flat spot, running rich etc).

I'm studying flat out at the moment and really dont have the time to fix any of these things let alone learn how to fix them, otherwise I would :cry:

Do you know any places East or North East though?

Not too keen on driving out to the other side of the city for a mechanic...

Try boosting OZ for the weber to be tuned, or Sprints on bridge road.

And avoid any places like Kmart, ultra tune or Midas, there all there to make there share holders $$$

Go to you local mechanic and make friends with beer and cash!!!

Or pay me beer money to fit it! :? :? :) :) :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:



with the brakes, buy a Hopper stoppers kit for the front, or Vl disks for the rear end
