      MCM I feel have always been really level headed with their builds and wants. Its always honestly nicer to watch, as they said sure you can chuck more boost and ethonol in and make 300KW but the car starts becoming undrivable in that state, it isnt worth it for anything other than bragging rights or clout really.

Highly recommend their full discography, and if you enjoy them check out Caligula’s Horse, Twelve Foot Ninja, Voyager, Dead Letter Circus and many others. Great music scene down under that deserves more attention!

    Marty, Many moons ago I had a stock 1963 Cortina (1987). Stock 1500. Boring. But as it was my daily I converted it from the old Lucas generator to a Bosch alternator off a Falcon (wow - a whole 35A!). That was great as I could now see at night. Then it became un-boring. Lotus casting, +0.080", big Cosworth cam, 1600 rods, forged pistons balanced etc. and a pair of 42DCOE's. Sweet spot was 7500rpm. So what? It used to destroy the alternators with RPM. The windings on the rotor just used to pull themselves out. The answer was to put a bigger pulley on it and slow it down. Suggest you look inside the old alternator before you replace it (and potentially do it all again), particularly where the windings are connected to the slip-rings. Love the Gemini build and the channel.
    And cammy nasty engines make great daily drivers 🤣 Cheers.

    MARTY!!! I've paused immediately at 7:42 to urgently tell you... please don't close your bonnet like that on a Gemini. You will dent it!! Hold it about 5-6 inches up, then drop it. That's the best way for Gemini's. If you've fitted after market bonnet struts, you might need to find a slightly different method again... but don't push on it. They are also double skinned on that part of the bonnet so you can't push the dent out from inside, once you dent it, game over you need a PDR dude... ok, roll the tape...

    This has been my favourite build so far, not just because i like old school cars and geminis, but also because this is a complete nostalgia trip for Marty having owned a gemini in his younger days and now hes re living those times but better..... i can totally relate to this as being a datsun guy i am in the process of doing the same thing with my stanza, i owned a stock one in the 90s and loved it. That has stayed with me i now own a nissan swapped one currently getting a turbo upgrade....... i love this build so much for those reasons and to me the nostalgia thing is what its all about, remembering something you loved and building one in current times only better.

      They actually won't, the Kadett C uses the Opel CIH engine, this is an Isuzu engine with an Isuzu bellhousing pattern, also the Kadett C floorpan is different and the gearbox crossmember is likely in a different spot. Bolt on choices for this engine are Isuzu MSG (which is the stock one he has now), Isuzu MUA from Japanese/Australian Isuzu TF Rodeo, and there's a really rare T5 bellhousing from the USA that came on base model 2.6 rwd Isuzu Amigo and Honda Passport (badge engineered car) made in the USA that had an Isuzu engine and Ford style T5 box.

    What a blast from the past. My grandpa had one of these but this being Germany, it was called an "Opel Kadett". Wonder if they called it the Gemini (latin for "twin") because it had so many wins around the world.

    Man, Scotty is an absolute legend! I love how excited he gets about 200kw in a little nug! He's such a positive dude.
    Poor old Marty looked a little stressed, but head up mate, it's a little ripper!

    Always love a dyno run. The guys at Haltech are awesome and your collabs with them are always fun to watch. Might consider a longer final gear with a limited slip when you beef up that rearend? 3k on the slower highway cruise will be a tad harsh and bad for fuel economy but maybe slightly better for the track, who knows. Love the car tho, really look forward to seeing what else you do with the Gemini.

    This is all very reminiscent of my 85 Capri, the every bolt been off and the modern tech throwing a turbo in (mine runs a more modern 16v engine) and making 300bhp in a car that's a ton is the absolute thrill to drive, you don't need anymore on the street

    In the early 80s in Darwin, i had a Gemini with a mildly worked 1700cc odd original block motor, running twin IDA Webbers. Used to race it down at the 17mile airstrip, and for the time it was pretty quick. There might even be viewers of my vintage who remember that thing.
    Today I have a Stinger GT and the MCM Gemini would embarrass it! The technology and skills available today are amazing.

    If you've got an old gemini alternator you could possibly get it rewound to up the output. What a mad little nugget, makes as much as my golf r and half the weight gonna be heaps of fun!
