Cottees...when you put in your Starion struts did you use the Sigma steering tie rod and adjusters ?? Pretty much all I changed were the struts, steering knuckles (cause the Sigma ones won't bolt to the Starion struts) and the lower control arms. Everything else is standard Sigma. The Starion lower...

The intake elbow broke again. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5896_zps01107e39.jpg So meant I had to take the entire intake out, again. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5898_zpsfd60c071.jpg Tried to put a new plate of aluminium on the throttle bod...

A couple days ago, the GN started to whistle. Turns out the intake elbow cracked. Luckily I had some tools and a coat hanger in the car for a temporary fix. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5882_zps773c947d.jpg With around 10 hours on and off fixing it, it now works. Should...

Pulled the plugs to check how the car has been running. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5868_zps7d680841.jpg While I had the heat shield off, I packed it with fibre glass. Which is what I originally planned on doing. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/I...

My 1st guess was possibly extra castor The castor looks to be ok. I've also experienced it from idler arm problems. The idler arm is brand new. Took the Sigma for a drive, and still driving well after 30,000kms on EFI! http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/IMG_5849_zpsf2e4ec16.jpg Cleane...

http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5815_zps26817e09.jpg With the larger wheels, I am experiencing Tramlining . On new roads, it is fine, but on an old rough road, it is all over the place. I did some measurements to see how far out, if at all, the wheel track etc. are. From ...

I like the plates :lol: I got them back in April. I didn't think they'd allow it, but I got them without any problems. Since I have given into peer pressure, I have decided to put more audio gear into the GN. While sorting out wiring, I decided to tidy up the ECU power cable. http://i620.photobucke...

While inspecting the head, I noticed that there was a hole in the #4 combustion chamber. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_5769_zps9e447787.jpg I started to grind away to try and get rid of the hole. It ended up being deeper than I had expected. While continuing to remove t...

Thought I'd get the Lancer's head out to do some work on it. I pulled the rest of the valves out. The intake valve guides look to be ok. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_5732_zpsd8cc34ff.jpg Cylinders 2, 3 and 4 combustion chambers have a slight lip from the valves smackin...

I am not sure if anyone has done this mod. In Australia, the Starions came out with a 2.0L 4G63 turbo engine. Better things to search for are some of the parts individually. The 2.6L Starion would be a turbo 4G54, and the transmission would be a KM132. All of the 4G5x Astron engines are the same phy...

The GN had a visitor over today. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5676_zps3611ecd1.jpg Got the broken drum off the car. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5679_zps5d9d8362.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5681_zps9f6b34b...

Got the rear louver fixed and mounted a couple weeks back. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5293_zps8dab46c2.jpg Since I can't get the disc diff installed just yet, I decided to just repair the drum brakes. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5484_zps...

Yeah, it is coming from my home server, so will be a little slow. That is why I haven't public posted the link. But, I won't be removing it in a hurry, so you'll be able to eventually get the whole lot. If it stops working, yell out, and I'll PM you the new address.

I have PMd you a link to the manual hosted at home.

Got a shot of the new decal in the sun. Looks better. Just have to get the rest done.

I put in King Springs into the front struts, and their part numbers are identical for the Starion and Sigma GJ-GN.

Jacked up the rear end to check out the rear brakes to make sure there was no leaks. Other than being really dusty, it looked to be ok. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5199_zpsc74a845e.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5202_zps083d5269.jpg Whil...

Haven't been able to do too much lately on the Sigma, but I put on a test decal to replace the messed up Plasti Dip one.

Swapped over booster and master cylinder to try and narrow down the issue of the brakes not working properly. Bleed the master cylinder first. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5108_zps598dbe14.jpg With everything back together, it has improved, but not working 100% still. h...

18 days after I ordered them, and I FINALLY got them. $20 postage didn't seem worth it. After being in Hawaii, it went to NSW, and sat at Adelaide Airport for almost 2 days. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t1.0-9/10486014_10203009728982637_4509820073011469268_n.jpg Will probab...

I haven't done much on the Lancer in a while, but she had to be moved for a while. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_5078_zpsf0ac7029.jpg Poor girl needs to be put back together. Will probably leave the Lancer in her current home till the end of the year, and work on the he...

A 1979 Chrysler Lancer was stolen outside the owner's house in Carlton. Thought I'd post the photos here and see if the S-G community has seen or heard anything.

Got some finishing touches to the front end. The Starion brake hose won't bolt to the Sigma's hard lines. Left is the Sigma hose, right is the Starion. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5028_zps544b92fe.jpg The Sigma hose is also longer than the Starion one. http://i620.phot...

It has drums on the rear at the moment. Will swap it with a Scorp diff with Station vented rotors.

Yep, these are the ones I ordered. Hopefully they arrive Monday since I paid for expedient postage. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360654589327?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 It is also meant to have shims, but not sure how 'needed' they are. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt...

So the Sigma bearings and seal are the same as the Starion ?? Yep, identical parts. Are you using the stainless steel pad locating guides in your calipers ? At the moment I can only find 2 of the 8 that I need, but bought some off eBay. It should be ok without them, but better to be safe than sorry...

Couldn't find the bearings and rear seal that was on the Starion hub, so I grabbed the parts off the Sigma strut I just took out. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5023_zpsd1e74653.jpg All put back in. Not long now before the wheels go back on. http://i620.photobucket.com/al...

Got the other strut in. Just have to clean up the hub and reinstall that. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_4980_zps4a920ab3.jpg I have got the stabiliser bar and strut bars reinstalled with bushes put in. The sway bar link bolts had rust on them. I tried to source new ones,...
