What better way to test my new front wheel tilt than to enter into a state round at Ringwood. The Gem steers now without trying to kill me. Was an awesome day! There were a few offs to be had resulting in big damage to a convertible MG and slightly less a Gemini coupe. There is plenty of time to be made up mid corner. Some gearbox shifts and operator practice is in order.

Any plans for suspension work? Seems to be the limiting factor now lol. Ample power is no longer an issue haha.

Even with a G161 the suspension is a limiting factor in the T series Gemini. The right rear wheel just loves to bounce up and down when power is supplied to quickly.

Practically have to stop on the turns lol.

Not so much suspension, more the locked diff. A nice commo lsd with discs would go great guns under there. That would sort the remaining bit of understeer i have and let me drive out of the corners. That's the theory anyway. ..

yeah the locked diffs have a tendancy to push, that's why I found it easier to steer with the back wheels at Ringwood lol

Why not a torque biasing diff? Like true trac, torsen or quaife?

anything would work, I believe when firebug bought the car it was already fitted with a CIG locker...... plus lots of other dodgy things hes slowly rectifying!

the Gemini is a small Salisbury, so its going to need a full work over to make anything decent work, ie. remove the torque tube and fit a decent rear end ..... alternatively I believe you can get an after market kit - lsd and axles to suit the gemini diff, but its not cheap, and how much do you sink into a Salisbury given its strength compared to other options.

Just do a commodore diff conversion like every tom, dick and harry does.
