^what he said.

NO SHIT MAN, this is one of the most extensive modifications to a front end I think the site has seen to date. I went to uni to study industrial design so I could get a better grasp of CAD and CAM applications, engineering drawing, prototyping and construction - and ended up wasting a year learning ...

Looks tough RaptorReed. Now that's a real off road 4WD.

The mounting face in the back of that rim is really beat up too. I would be looking for a decent replacement rim, seriously.

Nice DIY work you're doing there d3v147. That is some bad ass welding on your custom turbo manifold! I gather you have solid experience with fabricating and TIG welding judging by the level of work you've put in so far. And I see you've installed rack and pinion steering in your Sig too - did you ta...

Maybe (MAYBE...) get some thick alu stock and have it welded in, then re-mill the stud holes. It would take some serious precision but I think this is in the too hard basket...

The 4G32 is a 1.6 litre engine. If it has an alloy timing cover it will be either a 4G3* or a 4G5* engine (early Saturn or Astron)

As long as it's a 4G6X from a front wheel drive it'll work. The RWD engines are wide block. If you look outside of a Mitsubishi built FWD, only early Hyundai stuff is compatible (engine on the left side of the engine bay - gearbox on the right) so your pick will be from anything manufactured mid 90'...

Hi crappycolt, welcome to sigma-galant. Does anybody know if the asron 2.6 will go into an rd colt? In a word - no. The astron is a big lumbering beast and is huge compared to a sirius type engine. BUT you have got a heap of options if you are prepared to unleash your inner mad scientist on the humb...

That is a GE Sigma built between 1977-80. If you can locate the engine number on the exhaust side of the engine block, the first few letters and numbers will identify what type of engine is in it (4G3*/4G5*) the asterisk will be the number that tells you what the engine capacity is. See if you can t...

Hi thesycio0, welcome to sigma-galant. Identifying your car shouldn't be too hard - there will be a manufacturers' plate on the firewall above/behind the engine with the model code stamped on it (unless it has been removed...) Once you figure out how to post up some pics of your car we can definitel...

Would be my bet too. Sounds like the contacts in the switch barrel are shot...

Those of us who are inclined in all things Mitsubishi and are into their L200/Triton/D-50/MightyMax/Ram, I'd recommend checking out this US based site http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin/forum.php There are a few members on S-G that are also members on MightyRam50 (myself included)

Out of curiosity - does your 4G52 have points or electronic ignition? And there are all sorts of things that can affect top end rpm - a weak coil will struggle to build decent spark when it's pushed. A coil will start to break down after 10 - 15 years service. If it's still running the factory oil f...

The audio gear and the suspension upgrades would be sort of an indicator of when the car was modded. I don't think this was a drift car as it just isn't set up for it (the stock engine is underpowered for that deal too). It was more than likely a guy's home build for a rally/tarmac car. I doubt the ...

The 1.4 is not going to yield any decent improvements in performance without spending lots of cash. I'd look for something that is a more common engine that would be a straight forward install. Most of the earlier FWD engines are a no brainer to swap into a RWD car. Also you can look at something ou...

Looks like your work will be cut out for you in regards to sourcing parts for your build Paul (I would've been surprised if there was an old school JDM following where you live). Your Lancer is a real rolling time capsule - by the looks of it the original owner poured a lot into it during the early ...

Welcome to the site pinkme50. When you've figured out how to post pics, get a thread going and show us your pride!

Hmm, I dunno about the $150-200 ticket on that. The side vents look like they're Cosworth knock offs. I'd put in a lower offer and see if he bites... it's no good to anyone wanting a decent bonnet for their Starion with the hatchet work done to it

Hate to say this, but I think you're gonna be looking for a while. We had an inquiry about the 1850 pre-balance shaft Astron and it appears that the whole engine is a pretty unique hunk of metal - http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10774 It might be time to start looking for an eng...

Looking good guys but...not...shiny...ENOUGH!!?!

You'll need to drill out the spot welds on the headlight bucket mounts. Then there's the extraneous wiring.

O-M-freakin'-G. What the hell happened to that engine!!?! And you had to snap the head bolts off it to take it apart...

They are in there pretty tight. Disconnect the aerial from the back of the head unit and give it a bit of slack, then pull at the base of the aerial a bit and wriggle it around. The cable goes straight into a 90 degree turn to fit into the 'A' pillar so it's a slow process to pull it through (pullin...

I would think using hydraulics with double valve springs would be somewhere between a waste of time and a bad move. The extra load would prevent the lifters from working at full capacity. I'm not 100% convinced double valve springs are a good idea in the first place as I have seen badly chewed rocke...

IMO I wouldn't go for the polished face mesh centres, it will be too blingy and detract from the stainless body trim. Plain silver centres will look too understated. I would be leaning towards either colour matched centres or gunmetal. Decisions, decisions...

Seeming you guys have touched on the subject of the VW styled tappets, it will be good to get info on using these. First up it looks like they're oil pressurised - do they need to an oil feed to work and if that's the case, how do you do it? I've also seen a few people try using these without succes...

Dude, that is some savage piston damage! Whoever was driving it when it was detonating that badly must've been deaf or stupid

A really clean and straight GH there jasinex! Good to see you went the extra mile to fix up all the little things to bring it back up to scratch (the turbo wheels are a nice touch too)
