Hey does anyone know some cheap modifications that i can do to my TG gemini????
Im looking at doing heaps to it eventually but due to my lack of money i cant do it yet!
So what options are out there for someone on a budget?
I have already removed the rear muffler (RESINATOR) and replaced it with some old 2 inch exhaust sections my dad had in his shed! Also I have had the car professionally tuned and all is well!
Id like more power and more saound!
I think ive got the sound fixed but the power is pretty normal.
Hope you can help me
any tips and sugestions would be great!
thanks

Bang for your buck would be a camshaft, $100 or so from the mob near me for their stage 2 cam from memory, hung over drunken memory though.

Or find a TX sports coupe exhaust manifold, just make sure you get both halves, 4-2 AND 2-1....

Or for the price of a new headgasket have a go at porting and matching your head.

I paid $45 dollars for my TX sports coupe manifold including the two into one section, then bought a can of high temperature paint from autobarn, and a wire brush to go onto a power drill, now it is beyootiful.

You will need to have the 2-1 section welded onto your current exhaust but the manifold itself will bolt straight onto your head, it doesn't have holes for EGR etc so now is a good time to "rationalise it", if you wanna know how, just ask.
