WELL...AS FROM POST BELOW... that's exactly y i want to make my gem different, and look good , to keep up the gemini's reputation...ever since i got my gem anyone and everyone i have met has been sayin aaaawwwwwhhh my mates got a nice gemini too...geminis are such good little cars and when they are done up and look good everyone respects them, thats what is best about gems
AND MOTOBOYS 2C
fuck this rice crap a cars a car n if one is japenese and is faster than an aussie car dont chuck a paddy n make names about it n tryin to feel big

y can't a gem be riced up, once it is done it will be envy of everyone, even if it is standard engine, if it looks good who cares...i won't exactly be draggin with subs in the back, so its just a cruiser, a bloody good looking one... the only reasons y everyone hates rice cars is coz they are generally faster, look better and perform better stock standard without any mods at all than "most" other cars, excepting a few,

but they do lack the style and following other cars like the gemini have earned

Im about sick of reading about Rice this pasta that. Do what you want with your fuckin car your the one who has to drive it and fork out the cash! Feel comfortable with what youve chosen and drive it with pride!

thats where you are wrong

i'd say about 90% of true ricer cars are bog stock after the looks....

i dragged a riced up hyundai and pulsar tonight in north sydney and flogged both of them. so this is my bog stock (sept for the exhaust) twin cam gemini that is 20 years old... beating two late model cars...

had a race with an audi A3 as well... that was good

pretty bloody close until we got into 4th gear and 130k's... i think he had more torque Smile
