Hey, fellas, hope u can help me with this,
My parents have just bought me a TF Gemini, 4spd, stock as
it looks like its in perfect condition, nice original paint, practically no rust. But, ,,, i'm pretty sure theres something wrong with the power output. I have to change to 4th gear at 40 - 50km/hr , there must me something wrong. The engine is nice and smooth but, no noises, except the electronic fuel pump makes a clicking noise, but it seems alright.

Please help me out
- thanx

Electronic fuel pumps make that noise. Its a pain in the ass! If u want to re locate it, stick it behind the bumper bar. Or get a subdog and crank it.

If its a good lil car take it to get serviced or if your dad knows a bit, ask him to go over it with you. If u dont know much bout cars, its the best way to learn.

There you go, a sensible post from hones. take a picture.
