Looks good, Nice work.

Interesting to see some one pulled this thread up years later, In hindsight its not such a bad thing :-) Pretty much what happened with my build sometime down the track is it turned out i had a bad lifter in the new batch i installed, its possible at the time i may have damaged this while installing...

I use to have my GJ scorp (just recently decommissioned) with Justcars. price was around mid 200's for third party fire and theft.

Looks like going off this the Starion uses the same gearstick bush as well (looks very similar anyway) i might go and hit up a dealership before they all get sold out from people going on a buy up haha

awesome little machine you have there, rare to see them in such good nic these days.

If your just going to have a stock motor, i have been advised to leave the balance shafts in. But removing them does make it rev more quickly/freely. Draff, the point im trying to make is that the standard pump is fine on an engine which is why yours has lasted 4 years. Yes you can remove the balan...

I would put my hand up but shipping them from SA to melbourne will probably be more of a headache than what it is worth lol. whats your asking price just out of interest?

Just wondering if anyone can help me with either a tutorial or a few good tips on how to replace my starter motor in my 84 sigma, it has the 2.6l engine

Thanks in advance,

How did you end up going with your starter motor swap, all done ok?

One of the most interesting posts threads i have read for awhile. I think with these groups that make the off the shelf style extractors they are aimed and a type of market. like cheater said they are most likely suited to STD to warm style motors/ street cars. Even though I'm sure pacemaker have al...

Could be from a Astron 80 motor, best you can hope for it becomes a collectors item one day

Hey Mate, Welcome back, i cant say i've seen anything to do with a scorp that looked like that recently although i have not been the most active member, do you know if it stayed inside SA or if it went interstate? could be worth calling SA road group with the Vin and see if it has any crash details ...

Like already stated it really depends on how much power you are looking at trying to milk out of the motor and what your budget is. Cheep upgrades you can do is -The weber upgrade -hardest part of that is really the tuning,Jetting and setting up the throttle linkage but depending on where you get th...

Hi astronturbo, I might just take you up on that offer, story is i dont own the JA just yet im looking in to buying it and im hunting around for quotes on parts that need to be replaced, im checking the 80's time machine out this weekend and depending on how i go i might take you up on that offer :D...

Hi Guys, Just trying to track down a Aprox cost and a place that supplys new or reco MAP sensor for a JA 82 Starion, i've been doing a bit of a hunt around and the only place i've found so far that supply's them is Mitsubishi direct aprox cost of $400. i have tried Bursons ,Repco, Auto parts pro &am...

Hi guys, i was down at central motor wreckers in springvale this week and i noticed they had a blue 4 door lancer in the yard, figured it was worth a mention in the event anyone is chasing parts, there was a few galants in the yard as well.

Cheers thanks for the input guys, im going to have a hunt around a few wrecking yards this week to see what i can dig up but ill approach the 4x4's with care

they have two yards - Kilsyth and Campbellfield. Check out their website - it's pretty simple, but useful :) http://www.pick-a-part.com.au/ Had a look at Campbellfield pick a part today, not much out there as far as the stocks for sigma's and galants go just a heads up if anyone was thinking of hav...

that link is great, would have saved me a stack of head akes when doing my swap as well :lol: interesting to see that he has cut the section out of the center of the manifold for better flow(carb adapter plate), I was thinking that would be a great idea bit worried that i might end up with some craz...

Great choice, now don't forget to keep us all informed with lots of pics in the "Build" section. panda and also let us know when your first autox is and where will do, sorry cheerter missed your last comment, i'm aiming to join the light car club in Ballarat, ill be sure to keep you all p...

Hey Guys,

Im pretty sure these would fit with out any issues but i really just wanted to confirm that im not going to have any problems with hitting the gearbox before i go and buy any :-) im running a wide block on my current scorp.

Cheers

Thanks for your input on this one guys, i had access to a cheep scorp so i ended up buying that & should be picking her up next week. then it will be time to get to work on her and get this show on the road

I have had the Balance shafts out of my motor for about 4 years now and it has been fine, there is slightly more vibration but its very minimal and you can only really notice it when you back off, one thing that i have had happen before though is a bolt was rattled loose from the outside casing my m...

Geeze for that price there really is no excuse but to use a decent one, trade is only like 10% discount yeah?

Just a thought, before you start. Go to the place you want to race and see what the catagories are. Then build a car to a class instead of having to put your car in a class because of some mods that you made, and then having to race an uncompetitive car. I took my galant wagon to awaba rally club (...

Thanks guys! ill check em both out this week to fill in the time void on my holidays

cheers!

im located in Brunswick west, but im always up for a bit of a drive

Where abouts is the pick-a-part located?

love the fact they have even painted the hubcaps, no expenses spared on that one

Thanks for the input guys, i'm starting to lean towards a siggy or a Scorp after the advice. Good point psshhhht as i'm really just starting out, best to minimize the amount of times i spin my car out from lack of experience :lol: i have access to another GJ scorp at the moment so im toying with the...
