Wow. That thing looks nuts.

Just say he did buy this as reccomended earlier http://www.treadstoneperformance.com/cart.phtml What's a parts list for everything else he would need? And can he put it on a standard engine or would he need to strengthen and decompress the engine. I'm askIng because I am interested myself and have n...

My car loves united fuels 100 octane. Better mileage and a bit more responsive.

Looks really good. $120 is to cheap tho. IMO .

My car smells like grandmas shed. The old smell mixed with the lawn mower fuel smell.

I don't think it's flowing. The water must be stagnant, getting hot and the hot water is rising. I would bypass heater, remove thermostat, I would even empty the water, put a litre in and start it, slowly adding more water until full ( to avoid an air pocket.) It should be splashing around at the ra...

I'm going to throw another wild guess at ya.

Have u checked the heater radiator under the dash? Or at least bypass it for testing.

Also, isn't there a head gasket that blocks a water jacket if the wrong one is used?

Take your radiator cap off and stick a coke bottle filled with water upside down in the radiator, so it's free standing. Then start your car and run till it's hot. Check for air bubbles going into the bottle. Even tho a new head gasket, it could be leaking again, or a crack.

Sigma auto is 8 tooth and manual is 9. And TS magna reduction starters throw out to far and will miss the flywheel most of the time.

I'm on my 5th starter in 20k km's and still looking for one that works. My head is getting sore from banging it on the wall.

I used to cut the gear stick in half then drill out the rubber inside it. Then slide the top of the stick up through the bottom. Then u have a shorter stick with the thread.

Well I moved it a tooth so it was like the picture above. Tried to start my car and imploded my starter motor. Don't know WTF happened but it wasn't to good. So a new starter and moved it back a tooth to where it was. I will play around with it more on the weekend. My car feels gutless and are hopin...

Using ems8860. Not magna ecu. Just check whether the ECU is set to rising or falling edge trigger.. That alone can send out the timing by up to 90 cam degrees. Cheers. That rising/falling edge trigger stuff is pretty technical stuff. Just had a bit of a read bout it. If it is set to either rising o...

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. VB is just the default aussie thanks.
Here is a real thanks

Thanks for that pic superscan, your a ledg. Here u go.... http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/urobbert/19c2bff8.jpg I knew something wasnt quite right. 50,000 kms with a tooth out. I remember an engin I was playing with years ago, I had the dizzy a tooth out the other way to this one and the ex...

Using ems8860. Not magna ecu. And use 98 premium fuel. I guess I was hoping someone could compare it to theirs. Because when I put a dizzy cap with leads on it, one lead is almost centre to the plug on the top. But as it is now, when on top dead center, the rotor is not pointing to any lead. It is f...

I don't know what a locked dizzy is. It was in the for sale description under ignition. (below) http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=6210 It does not have vacuum advance. I thought they have those weights to advance the timing. And from memory, I thought the lock nut on dizzy would b...

Just after a bit of advice... Below is a pic of my distributor with engine at tdc. It has a locked dizzy with no rotor or leads on it. So I put on a spare rotor for the photo. It is a magna head and dizzy in my LA Lancer. It pings where it is set in photo. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/ur...

Dunno if this is a common way to replace chain or not... I used to find the joining link on the chain, join the new chain to the old chain and rotate the engine with your fingers holding the chains on the teeth of the cog until joining link is back at the top. Then remove the old chain from link and...

Kool. That is such a good idea!!!

Thanks for the fast reply.

Hi again. I put my cam in today, and OMG what a difference. Best $88 I have ever spent. I got wade cams to machine mine. Although , i have a problem with the cam setup and need some urgent help with as I need my car to get to work on Wednesday. The adjusters for the mechanical rockers are screwed al...

Anyone got photos of their sub/amp setup in their boot.

So I went to the wreckers today. Got an adjustable rocker rack and a cam from a gk ciggy. Astron 1. All looks and feels the same except the first cam bearing journal. It has a hole and mine has a groove. might try swapping them around. The cam will go to get machined ready to swap into my engine. Am...

Hey guys, a very long time reader, new poster. I just bought this http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=6210 Now I want to get it going a bit better. It's had heaps done to it but still has the standard cam. Which is what I need some advice with. Firstly it has roller rockers. Just th...
