As the Starion box is a "wide box", so yes will bolt up to any wide block astron or siruis block. (approx 13", or 330mm, between locating dowels)

I do a similar thing to Paddles, I have 3 cars, house, contents, property (small hobby farm), sheds, plant, stock, fencing etc all with the same insurance company. As you can imagine, a single annual premium is rather expensive, but on a monthly basis is affordable (or simply, you cannot afford NOT ...

Actually I saw on the weekend at the Classic Jap Show and Shine at Brisbane a GC Coupe with the 4g63 DOHC with a toyota quad throttle bodies adapted to it. Might be a good option as it's already got the EFI gear on them and all you would need is an aftermarket computer for it to run easily. One of ...

just so you know, the Satellite is actually a version of the Sigma that was sold in New Zealand the name Lonsdale is after the suburb in Adelaide where the cars were built. they were produced by a company called Lonsdale who eventually went bust. so i'm unsure whether or not yours is an actual Lons...

Have you thought about a Starion IRS, at least its Mitsubishi

I've never heard of one being made with 2.6 Astron EFI, but there have been a number of EFI conversions.

Hi Chris, & welcome to our forum. EFI conversions to buggy motors are even easier than the road car conversions, especially since you have a donor TP Magna. Firstly you will need to replace your pistons with Astron II flat tops to suit the new Magna head which must be used as the EFI inlet manif...

As a fan of Mark Webber, I'm sure all forum members would join me in congratulating Mark on his second win in Formula One.

Down here at Mount Gambier, about 90% of Speedway Juniors race 1200cc Corollas. Have proved to be the best rig for the category. Alas, no Mitsy's to be seen anywhere.

Hi Etienne, welcome to our forum.

Here in Australia, we don't use the A161 model description. Please post up some pics of your A161 to compare with our models here.

Rob, yes the speedo cable is different, along with the tail shaft & rear cross member. You must get the correct clutch plate to suit the input splines of the gearbox, as BW is slightly different to Jap. (I think the number of splines is the same, but the spline depth is different.) Easiest way t...

Is it possible to access the RED BOOK on the internet ? Could make fascinating reading.
Or is it for licenced dealers only.

Kev, I believe all Sigma's with a Borg Warner rear end had the same disk brake set up, but Scorpions with a Jap rear end was a different set up, with smaller rotors. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

I love & own both Sigma's & Starion's, but I would never destroy a rare Starion to save a Sigma. We need to save as many Starions as possible before they become extinct. Sigma's are not an endangered species, yet.

Hi Jonny, anybody that loves the 3 diamonds is most welcome here.

There are lots of us South Aussies here, so you won't ever be considered an outcast.

After all, SA was the home of Mitsubishi, until . . . . . .

but hey, our forum members are World-Wide

Still waiting for pics guys, or I don't believe you had a cruise.

Would it be easier to stay with the standard Sigma struts fitted with Commodore shocks (to simplify the steerings issues) & fit coil-over platforms. This is what I have done to my rally Sigma. If you still want Commodore brakes, then adapt a new disk brake mount, but then you have a 4 stud to 5 ...

yes, I actually had a set of 4.11 Corolla gears in my GJ rally car BW diff. I didn't do the conversion, but it wasn't too difficult I believe. No mods to the diff housing at all. Only problem was they only last 2 events before I began breaking teeth. :@ Have gone back to a 3.7 BW Sigma diff, from a ...

No Sigma's ever came out with vented rotors, but swapping your Sigma struts for Starion struts will do the job as Starions all had vented rotors.
DBA do make a slotted Sigma rotor, but its not vented.

Nothing wrong with M4 heads. TR/TS efi will bolt straight up, no probs. These heads have the roller rocker cam with hydraulic lifters. But, many of these after 15-20 years have 'sticky' lifters. If any appear stuck, replace all 8 as they're not fixable. Generally about $50 a set.

also all the other siggys with power steering we've seen have metal piping that goes out near radiator and returns to pump. missing from this one, but mounting holes there look like been took of at some stage That "pipe" running out to the front is a basic oil cooler. Running without this...

Welcome Igor to our forum. Your car is very neat for its age, love to see more photos of engine & interior. As you probably already know, the Sapporo is called a Scorpion here in Australia, but we have the 2.6 litre 4G54 Astron engine. ps : your English is very good, much better than my Russian....

Borrow or steal a workshop manual, & copy the relevant sections before you start.

Number one rule - you cannot make a profit from building a modified car. We all love to mess about with our rides, customising, modifying, enhancing etc. just for our own egos & enjoyment, but don't ever expect to get back the amount of money you have invested in your ride. Only a small number o...

as for grinding and bad noises maybe once a month it will grind 4th but besides that it works a treat

Out of curiousity, what size spacer are you using on your short shifter ?

I only use Shell V-Power 98, in my race engines, seems no different than BP Ultimate 98.

I like the white wheel look on track cars, like my rallycar. (and hate the black wheel look like a lot of V8 Supercars, makes them look too much like a NASCAR)

Great choice, now don't forget to keep us all informed with lots of pics in the "Build" section.

Just sold on eBay were these beautifully polished alloys. Did someone here grab these ?
