Thanks guys - pics will come soon - got a new lappie recently and need to upload all my pics from discs - will do soon

Yeah the gem is pretty fun - currently getting its roll cage bolstered (8 to 16 point) and having bodywork redone before reassembly - will post some pics in the 'other cars' section soon as i can upload them.

Pictures of the Geminis and Celica please!

And MIck, going FMIC? Look forward to seeing what you have planned for that!

Sounds great, goodluck with the build, should a be sweet ride once you finish with it.

by **dr20t** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:45 pm

Yeah thanks guys. Will get some pics soon

Yeah Pham going fmic path. I had a hybrid front mount sitting at home from when I converted my Gemini to a barrel cooler setup so after speaking to phat gt he convinced me

Just deciding on whether to go larger turbs for higher output more lag or just stick with a smaller one for a nice fat mid range.

by **Gambit** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 6:06 pm

Nice if it's a daily go for the nice fat midrange setup you will be much happier.
