Hi MRD, I am new to this forum and require info on your GH Scorpion rebuild. I have a 1973 Chysler Galant and cannot get any disc rotors for it. All the posts I have seen, research I have done indicates that the GH Scorpion Struts will fit the Galant, I note with hope in my heart that you have been...

Love the car well done :) is that a hemi orange colour or something similar? Having a bit of a problem with a few suppliers trying to find the correct Australian Paint Codes, as apparently the US ones are different Sorry a few of these slipped by me unnoticed (I'm a busy boy!). I believe the name o...

Looking super clean I like it. great choice of wheels too!

lovely scorp you got there.

I don't know if anyone has ever posted this mod before (I did a search, apologies if I'm doubling up). All you need is a little piezo speaker/buzzer (worth $1 or something) from any local electronics shop, maybe a bit of wire and some basic soldering skills. One of the quickest yet handiest mods I c...

I noticed the scorp and L300 radio antennas look very similar. Anyone know if theyre a neat fit?

Had trouble with stock shift stick pulling out (here), so modified a new Mookeeh MK1 Starion shifter to suit my early model 4 bolt jap 5 spd setup. Now all I need to do is decide which awesome "sickspeed" knob to buy next.

Unless something was glued to that capacitor, I'd say that the bubbly liquid leaking out the top of it isn't a great sign (though I'm no expert).

Yea that could work :) If you could send me the thickness of the nolathane, that would be great.. It just sounds so much easier, when someone else does it :lol: I think I'll make an alloy spacer (by make, I mean. Go down to the local engineer and get him to do it :P ). Also, my car was a factory au...

So.... Now you've successfully done that... Would you do another? Replicate the spacer, and shave the shifter plate? I'm happy to pay for you're time and products :) If so. Please pm me and we can work out a plan :thumpsup: Well the thing is :D see how my hole is cut out with a hacksaw? That's beca...

That would look nice! I've ordered one of these: Chrome knobs

I was thinking of getting something like this further down the track as an option.

Ok so all the local engineers were booked out for weeks, so I went to my local auto shop and got my hands on this handy Nolathane block. :) I then (lacking any slicey cutty power tools) took a full day about hacking a chunk small enough to work with off of it. http://www.sigma-galant.com/Scorp/19481...

"Too late!" she cried. bolt 2 sheared off this morning - one bolt wont hold it.

bugger yeah hopefully i'll get mine sorted before something like that happens!

Nah sorry dude... Same as you :( All good man, it wont be that complicated to make a spacer and drill a few holes :) I'm looking forward to saying goodbye to that old crappy one. Ive got a spare shifter laying around I think ill try remember to look tomorrow to see it its what you need unless your ...

You're fine as long as you have the later model Jap box with the 4 bolt setup where the stick is mounted on top of the cup that accepts the tail shaft as opposed to being mounted in front of it. That's probably the quickest way to tell if you were looking down at it from within the car with all the ...

wide narrow thing is referring to block to gearbox mounting point.

That's what I always thought, but tell that to my mookeeh shifter.

the 3rd pic is of a GJ onward box, the same as what a Starion box gear shifter setup is, this is why it wouldn't fit I guess on the short extension housing. didn't even think about them being any different.. just make a spacer plate to make it fit your box. Ahh right - the curse of the oldest model...

My speeed cable: http://www.sigma-galant.com/Scorp/IMG_20140217_182155.jpg Screws up to the box fine - doesn't turn the cable. Definitely looks different to yours, but then again, I have the narrow box. Still dunno what to make of that. I have a speco speedo which is waiting for me to buy a sensor a...

75glnt - got a wide or narrow box? lol

The bolt holes in the 4 bolt plate on this new shifter are 95mm and 60mm apart (measuring to/from center of holes), does that suit your setup?

75wagon - did you say you had a shifter with good parts on it? Is that still just lying around?

so.. wide and narrow "block" can refer to an engine block , or the body of a gearbox? bugger - I guess that's where my new shifter went awry. I'm guessing the narrow box has a narrow 4bolt plate too.

Haven't had a chance to check speedo cable end yet .. BUT... the shifter arrived today, and there's a problem: http://sigma-galant.com/Scorp/IMG_20140217_130011.jpg As you can see, I don't have the BW box. I clearly have the 4 bolt setup illustrated above in GB_BB4C's post. http://sigma-galant.com/S...

scorp sits 2.5k at 100 in 5th.
and 3k at 100 in 4th

yeah my scorp has auto diff, gets about 105 in 2nd.

hmm lol maybe i can test that theory by slapping the steering column. Very good point, I'll check it.

Seems to be a common thing for them to just work whenever they feel like it. Can always see what the time is by pressing the leftmost button, but usually it should be on when the car is on, but in many cases (like mine) it usually isn't. I have tried cleaning all contacts, and even thought I'd crack...

Yeah, I'll double check tonight, I reckon the end of my speed cable is a bit different (thinner). Reckon we might have forgotten to change out the auto speed cable to the manual one.

ahhh, sweet az! It leans back in neutral. That's all I needed to know, cheers. I have the right box, no question.

Not the right speedo cable though (I think).. Anyone care to take a pic of the end of their 5 spd jap box speedo cable (the box end) so I can confirm?

I'll keep everyone posted lol

Much appreciated Dave! It's my baby though, and I bailed the 100% stock build train long ago, it deserves the good stuff (no offence at all, I'm sure that's a very fine stick you have there) You know I'd take it if I hadn't clicked 'pay' moments ago
