1982 Holden Gemini TF SL/X Sedan review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best value for the money around!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well the heat core has developed a leak, the radiator hose blew out, and I cooked the motor.
Bought a motor for $350 fully reconditioned. It's been excellent since.
General comments?
Great first car, due to awesomeness of the SL/X haven't had to upgrade the alternator and have 2 Amps, 6 inch splits in front, 6x9's in the back, 12 inch sub in boot and dual battery system running, and even if I drive around all day with the stereo cranked, it still doesn't flatten the battery's :D.
(regular Gemini's are 35amp alternator's, the SL and SL/X alternators are 50amp)
Anyhow, probably a great car all round, and it also has an alarm and central locking now.
Turbo kit going on in 1 year ~
