Adam and I have entered thanks to Kev donating one of his echos to us to use on Sunday. We'll take the other blue one!!

Should be sooo much fun!! Thanks Kev, i will treat it like my own, well not quite because I wouldn't drive my car on grass but we will look after it.

BTW - Kev are they the cars you use for the stunt drive courses? If I make it down on Sunday I'll chat to you about that as I'm super keen to have a go.

Haha Snowy, yes they are our Stunter Echo's ! Just waiting on the jump ramps to be delivered from NSW and away we go :(

I wont be driving on Sunday, but my G/F's son will be he's just turned 13 years old, this is his first 'car' event but he's been driving Karts since he was 4 years old and racing since his 7th birthday. Should be great fun. Here's a pic of him racing back in 2002, when he was 9.

By the way guys - there is a pre-meet tomorrow morning if anyone wants to attend, organised by Age.

The Village Green Hotel, say @ 8:15, with a depart time of 8:30. Should give us heaps of time to get to Moorabbin airport.

>_<

I have a few pics of the yellow one from your first run. Will post them up.

Were you there Chris? I said to a mate that I thought I spotted an SAU guy in a (yellow?) gemini passenger seat, but yours was red.

Maybe it was you afterall.

I have many Gemini's - All Rusty!

I was in the yellow supercharged 1.6lt one first up - Dropped a cylinder after 2 events.

Then moved to the beige 1.8 with twin sidedrafts - manged to hold on all day, but no locked diff let us down.

Also had the backup white coupe with changed ratio diff on standby.

Red one was at home cying cause he is low on compression!

So many Gemini... Is it Gemini's or just Gemini for lots of them?

So many Gemini sounds like a medical term or something...

Nice avatar Age, are any of those videos of the Echo?

Don't want to open them all at work because of the download limit.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
