YOU BASTARD! From where im standing [or sitting] it looks like a late model jap import, probably a Handling By Lotus model! Again its got the analogue dash, different tail lights, no rear garnish and its in a colour that was availible overseas but never hear. Sounds like its an 87/88/89 HBL!

I am really upset at you now :(

lol

Sweet. What do you need to get it turbo again Brad????

I could be interested in the manifold with the elbow welded on it. Can you put up a pic of it.

Nah thats all good. Im looking for a butchered manifold to change to the 3 bolt subaru pattern and i thought if they had welded that one...................

Doesnt the motor go in the white one that had the front end ripped out????

Perhaps you could add a $300 super special rusty 2L shuttle to your collection. Drop that motor in the Piazza.

Even a 1.8L it wont go fast but it will go and being a 4Z motor the 4 speed auto will bolt up to the back of it.

If Gemini's were ever meant to go fast, they would have come out of the factory with 4zc1t engines!!

There was a turbo and manifold on Ozgemini. It was an old thread in the forsale section that got dragged back up to the front.

*******************************************

That eBay turbo is the wrong dump pattern.

yeah the one in the white one goes but I think i might just keep that whole and put it into storage or something
do you think it will be huge problems putting in a 4zd1 or 4ze1 to get it regod?
and i think i might end up going with a t3 or soemthing anyway so ??
i dont know what imi doing atm I keep changing my mind and shit and confusing myself lol
