What are they worth? seems to vary a lot, availability & condition. $150 does seem like a decent price though. Definitely track down that other box though ;) much better idea (you notice the difference after driving with both...) 5th gear ratio's are: (taken from the GH book keep in mind) Borgy ...

Torana68 pretty much sumed it up... they are crap. used to have one in my GH... used to called it the 4 and a half speed slush box :lol: If you can find a narrow jap box in a decent condition it would be a better route. preferably from a car that you can also get the other bits from ;) Then again, i...

Why do you want an electric one?? the mechanical ones work fine.

Hmm.. maybe you could throw a wanted add up for a "100% known working carby" ?

Surely someone has a decent solex?

Nick.

$100 for a A/F gauge so you know when your melting the engine?

Hey, Not sure on GB ? but the countless times i've been to O'briens (don't ask :roll: ) they have always been able to get rubber to suit the GD. Might be worth a shot. Just had a look at the pamphlet in the glove box... only seems to have the number of our local branch on it, although there was a 13...

Aww okay, yeah 40 min is getting a bit far lol. & an astron in a half cut? generally don't see that very much at all? Trying to find a page from the old web site where the engine numbers were listed, that will let you know exactly what it is (any of you guys remember? or have that page as a book...

Ok i went and had a look its stil stuck to a 2.6 narrow, and i didnt see but i think the bellhousing is detachable, its stock so i would assume so. With the tailshaft and speedo what would i hav to modify to get it to function right if i did stick it in mine? Would i have to bring the speedo cable ...

When you pick it up, make sure it has 3 holes at the top of the bell housing (one on one side, two on the other) http://www.fotothing.com/photos/ba1/ba1e4787c1e4740bcac256ad42538eff_c80.jpg Looking at the pic at the top right, you can just see near the starter motor there is two holes at the top, th...

Welcome to the site! I'm wondering if the Magna head with hydraulic lifters would be a straight swap... Hmmm.... Not a straight swap, but it isn't too difficult either. Makes for a lively little 2lt ;) Cheater, just curious, what head did you have on a 2lt? (when you say try a M8/9 i'm guessing you ...

Don't send it to the grave yard yet... not for such a silly problem. (although they can be frustrating lol) Could probably rule out the vacuum in the tank, fuel filter blockage etc, as these would normally show up at high rev's, which he said it runs fine at? its an astron, so is electronic. Its int...

Yeah those timing covers are a bit of an art form if your not removing the head or sump.

Not a problem mate.

Nick.

Sounds like your already on to the easiest idea mate; re drill the holes in the rails. If you find that this is still not enough? bolt some 30*5 plate on top of the rails and then you can put the holes where ever you want ;) (if you do go this route... weld the bolts to the plate, this will save muc...

That 'bearing looking thing' goes in to the hole of the top balance shaft (ensure it gets put in square! making it sit flush with the edge of the block face) -Blocks off the oil gallery which lub'ed the top balance shaft. The stubbing shaft... there is another balance shaft behind the oil pump. remo...

Welcome to the site mate.

2000... bit newer than the general majority

Hmm... not talking a VR4 version is it?

WOOT!

Good to see you made an appearance scorp

Geez man, that looks pretty damn nice!

Nick.

Yeah i found the same here, but it was more so that Enzed didn't want to touch the car stuff.

Should be able to get them made up at any brake shop though? for reference, it cost $120 for the four that lead to the struts on the galant (as they are 2 pieces...)

Nick.

Not sure whats going on with out seeing it in front of me? but would imagine although they both fall under the "jap box" nic name, they are different variants. if so, having a different spline doesn't really come as a surprise. If that L200 is still accessible, get the input yoke from it, ...

Being fair... they are getting to be rather old... diaphrams will be on their last legs for sure if they have never been replaced.

Time to pull it apart & give it another clean by the sounds ;)

What sort of box is the one from the L200? jap/borg?
-I ask as it says in your signature 'replacing with borgy 5'er'

Oh... & if that other 5spd is/was in your scorp... it sure as hell aint from a magna

What the hell is going on with the breather hose off the rocker cover to the inlet manifold. AAHH yeah :?

Fingers crossed there is a PCV in there

No boost for me yet... Getting there though lol.

SpEc_OpS wrote:or do u guys think ill get away with jus a normal 5 speed with the h/d excedy

If your referring to the borgwaner 5 spd? i wouldn't even use one as a paper weight... Even if you did use one as a paper weight, it would probably still find some way to fail as that too

And if we want to promote, are you happy to print the logo as a sticker? ? http://www.sigma-galant.com/archive/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=324&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 like so? Geez this thread has gone under the radar a bit... some good points raised though...

Let us know how you get on.

Its got me intrigued

The wreckers is always a good start? (look for one with the lowest number on the odo too :lol: ) From your other thread, you have an auto yeah? you'll need a gearbox thats is behind a 2lt astron, & while your there, grab the flywheel too, probably wise to also grab the speedo cable & the fro...

will i need to any holes to fit it?, and will i need a cross member from a different car? . Depending on where the gear box comes from... lol, you may need to lengthen the shifter hole. Cross member, you'll have to modify, do a search for a thread by GB_BB4C on the old site with the way he did it, ...

Ain't that the truth

Nice example too... looks like she has been well cared for!

You said you swapped out another carby in your first post yeah? so technically we can rule out a blocked jet or the likes (check anyway, its only a couple Philips screws lol) So the car does drive fine when running? as you accelerator is doesn't feel hesitant? Is it happy to maintain half/full throt...

Sorry for the epic thread? don't be... was a great read :) & awesome job too... looks great. Oh... and you picked up well on the steering wheel... its a bit different to the one on my coupe (also a GC... with a GD grill! grr... if you come across another old asian lady with a grill let me know :...

HOLY Hell

QUICK wrap it in glad wrap

Thats nice man... it would almost be worth leaving it standard (yes i know that sounds boring lol)..
