what makes ya say it will be harder in the gem? not as if i have to register it again?... the way im looking at it is.. i have a complete driveline all still in one peice and i have a rolling gem shell... the plan is to lower it into the bay and line it up and make engine mounts to suit... the loom is still all in one peice too ... biggest issue is gonne be a tailshaft.. but i have both ends i need anyways..

then will just be a matter of sorting some suspension... which im hoping shouldnt be to hard

and none of it has cost me anymore money so far =)

Suspension is shit. A gemini is shit for drifting from the start no matter what engine is in it. The engine mounts will still need to be done properly to the point its almost worth getting the conversion kit from CRS and then you have new gauges and stuff you will have to buy as the gemini dash wont work with the sr loom and you wanna see whats going on in the motor region. Tail shafts are not cheap at the best of time. I remember it was 600 to get mine shortend balanced and the yolk changed up here.


You dont wanna listen that thats not our fault. Good luck with it. Any engine conversion from a different familly will always work out more expensive then putting a engine from the same family in. Look how much time and money Heith has put into that gemini of his for drifting and its still pretty shit and cant keep with the other guys. Stuey is another one and he spent bulk time and money on that one and still could not drive the car.

All were saying is from experience a gemini is not a great drift car in fact a VL or old falcon xr6 in stock form is even far far better. It will cost alot to convert regardless if you have it all you will need smaller things and they cost the cash, will only be few hundred here and there but it will add up.

My honest suggestion would be to buy a shell and convert that. Surely there is some up here.

oi mate... wen did i say i was not listening? i have taken everything everyone has said into consideration and the help has great.

i do realise that a gemini is no drift car out of the box and no it probably wont be as good as a sil or 180 or watever.. but simple point why i was leaning this way was because i was estimating that by the time i had finished it wouldnt have cost fuck all compared to buying something ready to go, as i would have started with a car. and driveline that owed me next to nuthing and myself and my father are pretty damn handy on a welder so we could have tinkered with most the fiddly bits ourself!!

but dont matter anyway... found something else to use hopefully...

still would like to build the gem tho... just to see how it went..

like i said.. i fully understand everyones comments... i just really beg to differ that it would be shit... yeh it would be a bit of a handfull but i reckon it could be done... just my opinion...
