Re: 1979 Colt Sigma from the cold north

That's great news, Giert.
I hope your Galant passes the EU safety control check next week.
Good luck!

Re: Creating fender flares

Looking good so far. How do you think you'll go matching that on the rear as there's less room (because of the door).

Re: Sigma drawings

Haven't drawn anything for a long while so thought it was time to draw the wagon again and maybe update my banner. The wagon is actually running Globe montego rims (from GH turbo) but they are tricky to draw -so drew some generic JDM style barrels instead :P http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae340/...

Re: 1979 Colt Sigma from the cold north

Hi Giert, Cool sigma, good to see another one of these surviving on the other side of the world. Are you sure your parklights were rewired and you don't just have a blown fuse or faulty column switch? Here's some wiring diagrams i've just scanned. There's a pre mid-1978 and after mid-1978 version so...

Re: i think i'm a newbie!!

Hi Kezrob23, Welcome to the site -I got my first sigma in 98 and got about 7 years of service out of it also. It was reliable till the end -it was even driven to the wreckers. Sometimes a car can get to a point where it has literally no good parts on it and yet still runs. Are your rims any of the b...

Re: Halp meh, Oh halp meh!!

dunno that much about welders but a thermistor would need to be where it's hot (not on the PCB) and it decreases resistance as it gets hot. I would say if it is no go at room temp then it has probably failed (closed circuit -not open circuit). Try and find which two wires go off to the thermistor, (...

Re: Suspension Geometry and lowering

i'm pretty sure that you get the least body roll when your centre of gravity is the same as your centre of roll. Cars like the Toyota FT86 are designed so that the centre of gravity and roll are both low -that means they can run relatively soft suspension. The result is something that handles well a...
