Re: Ok, has ANYONE done a GJ SE auto to manual???

Your car is definitly not a GE or GH model, as the body is completely different so being a 84 it's most likely a GJ. You should have a compliance plate on the firewall or in engine bay somewhere that will have model written on it, look for the little shiny plate with year, vin ect on it and you'll k...

not sure if the front ends are different but I've found 17's are as big as I can fit on the front of a GH, there really isn't enough room between springs and wheel arch for more, however this is GH, maybe your's is different. What width is the rim, what offset will make a big difference, lot of 20's...

Re: Sigma revival

I'd have to suggest getting a new manifold too, you could retap and helicoil it but they rarely last long, or retap and use a bigger bolt although even that generally is weaker as well, and wreckers rarely want much for sigma gear. Can I ask where about's you are? Someone on here might be able to gi...
