I had, as he referred to, a Citroen Dyane in the 80's, I loved it, I would have loved it more if it had an engine with a bit of poke. Just a technical question, why can't you use the gearbox from the BMW?

RWD Opel's are proper nice cars that did well in classes they were built to compete in. Much the same as the Toyota's, Ford's, Nissan's ,etc. Doesn't take much, lightweight, 4 cylinders, just add a twin cam, 5 speed, limited slip rear end, all can be sourced from wreckers or for cheap, well within anyone's budget, and voila it's good for keeping up in modern traffic and still feel quite lively. Nice thought out build, goes just like it should, no need for the dumb 1200hp crap everyone else is on about these days. As you bri's call it: Cracking auto. Thumbs up

This is read ringer for the Holden Gemini and there is more than two on the road in Australia and we did get the station wagon and the Australian Holden Gemini came directly from Isuzu in Japan in the 1970s of course coming from Japan they would obviously built very well and there was even a diesel Gemini available and of course been the 1970s the rise of the Japanese vehicles and the beginning of the death of British vehicles

They were built well but with one exception, rust proofing, which is why there are almost none in the UK but loads left in Australia.
@lesklower728111 күн бұрын
@kieranjamieson In Australia motor vehicles don't rust as bad as in the UK as they do in Australia my 1997 Toyota Hilux has no rust issues one advantage may be almost half the body is aluminium because it is the tray nut believe or not many Chinese built vehicles are showing signs of rust the MGs BYDs and LDVs all rusting badly now rust isn't a big problem in many newer Japanese vehicles well our seven year old Suzuki Baleno isn't rusting obviously any vehicle rusts in Australia infact l know were tgere is a lovely Mercedes-Benz W123 300TD that isn't rusting away and it sits outside and older Japanese cars have rusted the same as older British cars but even 30 year old Toyota's don't rust in Australia apart from a few examples but in N.S.W we have yearly rego check similar to an MOT and any bad rust is a fail my Hilux has never been knocked back on rust and with tge inspection there are no advisories if there is a problem you have to fix it on my Hilux it the only knock back has been the exhaust system and one of the knock backs was due to a cheap Chinese part of the exhaust system and the part was fairly new because l have seen the same part for sale on ebay cheap Chinese rubbish most of anything made in China is rubbish

@ppcmagazine23 күн бұрын
We've asked a few times now and still have no idea! I’d say it was the slave cylinder, as if it was the master I’d have got hydraulic fluid all over my foot from the pedal. We do know it didn’t leave the garage in France for several weeks, so I suspect they got the French guys to fix it for them and sent it back to the UK. Perhaps it will forever remain a mystery!

Perfect, other than one niggle. I would pop on a Quaif Sequential trans as well, and definitely supercharge it or turbocharge it! I guess two niggles, cause I would absolutely put in a fully adjustable coil-over suspension setup and some wider wheels and tires (3 niggles). But as it sits, still an epic vehicle! Love it! 😍👍👌🤘🖖
