Another coilover thread

I have had Ksport coilovers installed in my AWD Magna for a year or so now, and have thought about seeing whether or not they make one for a Sigma. I contacted them recently and they have informed me they don't but are happy to make some up for me, if i provide a sample for the price of somewhere ar...

I'm more or less just curious as to what people are running in the rear end, especially the sigma guys.

More coilovers talk

So all this coilovers talk has got me thinking, what about the rears? All these people going coilovers and I only ever hear about the fronts. Obviously for those with leaf rears it's a bit harder, but Sigma guys what's going on in the rear? Mainly cheater I'm looking good at you, as you also Have a ...

Ok great, thanks guys that clears it up a bit. I'm not looking to work it just yet, but who knows really. Probably best to get it done anyway.

Thermostat relocation

Is it worth doing the relocation of the thermostat on the magna conversion? I see people choose different things and I would really just like to know whether it's worth it or will it cause issues not doing etc etc

So let me get this right, a wideblock gearbox will fit into the transmission tunnel of a 2.0 auto GE sigma?? It is (obviously) a narrow block engine, so i would need a different engine, but it won't be too wide for the tunnel?? I have a narrow Jap box in the shed, but the extension housing I think i...

Re: Best motor

Sigma had 1600, 1850, 2L and 2.6L. look for a later model as its more likely a 2L or 2.6L and look for the engine number, the one you want is 4g54. If you go for one out of a Magna it is a better motor, will be 2.6L, Most likely fuel injected, but will need a little modification to change it to RWD....
