My New Piazza and my TC gemini
-White
-Auto
-Stock rims
-Exhaust
-Interior good
-145,000 kms
i just bought this piazza for $1000 and i was going to do an engine swap. upon consideration of the scarcity of the piazzas in Aus in particluar i decided to fix her up and drive it!
Aim to modify:
auto to Manual gearbox
fix power steering issues
renew water/coolant seals on turbo (new turbo?)
fix up body and respray
fit my 16" ROH rims from my TC gemi:

Glad to hear it.
I did get offered to buy a Piazza from SA the other day, no motor no front brakes. I think it was on the Gemini forums. If youve got the room its a handy supply of parts.

The only thing you might find will be that you can use a little higher profile on the 16's to make them look better on the Piazza.
195/60/14 is about the same size tyre as the std 13 on a Gemini.
It converts to about a 195/50 in a 15".
Ive got 205/60/15's on the back of my Piazza and im seriously considering swapping to bigger than the 195/50's that ive got on the front. I wont be able to make the call as to what will fit till i put the front bumper back on after i do up the front suspension.
Ive got a pair of new 195/55's here and also a pair of good used 195/60/15.
Yeh so what im sayin is that those wheels on your Piazza might have the little tyre look.

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