1977 Holden Gemini TC review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable, cheap car with some grunt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Choke seized up.
Idle stop solenoid stopped working.
General comments?
The TC Gemini is a really good and reliable car.
It handles really well like its on rails with the help of some lowered springs and shocks.
With a few modifications Gemini's can look really presentable.
Modifications on my car include:
Worked 1600 SOHC engine
extractors, exhaust to big muffler off Subaru Liberty turbo
Enkei Wheels
Checker plate interior
Sports seats.
Gemini's are quite fuel efficient, extremely reliable - have hardly had any problems and perform really well for a 26 year old car
Overall a really quick car with good looks and handling to match.
