I've towed this caravan with an automatic Scorpion, towed quite comfortably at 100kph. It's about 600kg loaded and has no braking system on it.

Just updating where I am at. Red Scorp - well it was fun, but after feeling the chassis twisting has now been scrapped so it cannot be registered again and then sold to another forum member for parts. Yes I forgot to get the good bits off of it so I will be buying some parts back :banh: White Scorp ...

Just bought some Scorp parts from Peter who has bought himself a GJ Scorp. Looks good too. Peter is now surfing our posts and I am sure will join up soon. http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s370/jvflash/IMG_0210_zpsf6680729.jpg http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s370/jvflash/IMG_0208_zps96dafb5c.j...

Great news, White Scorp now registered just need to fix exhaust leak and radiator leak

Good news, white scorp drives very nicely thank you.
So have cancelled insurance and rego on red scorp, transferring personal plates to white scorp and will be mobile in that soon.
Red scorp has now become a mobile shed, filled with Scorp parts.
Happy again

They are back on eBay again about AU$155 when I looked

That would be an aweome build.

BTW while I am a restorer, I do admire rodders, so no hassle, its your metal do what you like with it but post the pics.

Also sorry about not noticing you in the chat room yesterday, I had set my laptop down.

Again welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard.

Don't worry about your Holden fetish, there is medicine for that

Always great to see new members builds.

Wow Jase, you changed the colour of the connectors.





There you go, happy now

That's terrible news Tj, the images are saddening as you say,
All the best with the insurance company.
As per Jason's post, I hope Naomi is okay too.
Cheers, Flashy

G'Day Michael and welcome to the forum. Good to see ya, Flashy

Nice looking Sigma, welcome to the forum.

Hi Mate,
Great to meet another local. Welcome to the site and look forward to seeing your project progress.

Josh, PM sent to you.

You can buy them from the USA - Addco 349 Rear Anti Sway Bar Stabilizer Roll

eBay seller - neverenoughauto did carry them.

They sent me the install manual and the holes all line up with the Oz version.

Just had the afternoon from hell. :banh: I wanted to find out why the red scorp would not idle below 1500 rpm. Took the air cleaner off and low and behold after 5 minutes at idle the choke is still full on?? Feel the hoses and both hoses from the carby to the manifold are stone cold, yet radiator bu...

Hi Jase, I noticed the makers name on the video you posted was Harrys Lap Timer which can be found here:

That is a nice looking ute. Dedicated LPG, the way to go
If cars were originally invented using LPG they would never have allowed petrol.

[quote="LeeroyThere is spark going from the coil to the distributor Spark in the distributor when the cap is off [/quote] Is the coil wired up backwards? This would cause a weak spark from the coil and sparking in the distributor. Sparking in the distributor is the not normal bit - could also b...

Where are these sparks? In the cap, on a removed lead, in the dizzy?

I would try several things: 1) take the plug out connect your comp gauge and start the car and watch the comp gaug for fluctuation (mech failure) 2) turn the dizzy cap over and check for arcing marks or gouges. Could be signs of out of centre shaft etc (previously mentioned) 3) run the timing light ...

Very nice in fact

Hi Cottees, the law that I am aware of is the obstruction to view law. Could not find it on SA sites, may be there somewhere. Found the Qld version If an object, such as an item hanging from a rearview mirror, or a GPS device obstructs your vision it must be moved to a different place or removed. An...

So the car started behaving like this before you replaced all those items listed? The timing mark bounces around when it runs rough? I wouldn't expect that behaviour from a vacuum leak as the timing shouldn't change. (NB I am not ruling this out however) You state the counter weights advance and rel...

On eBay (neverenoughauto.com) located in the US has some suspension components for these. I was looking at the rear sway bar set up, which measures the same, and uses the same mouning holes on the Scorpion. I have found it easier to use an eBay search such as Plymouth (Sapporo,Challenger) which will...

Hi Shuggy, I agree with Dave, sounds more like a lead / plug / spark issue. Flex each lead as you use your ohmeter across the ends as this may discover open circuits not there when the lead is straight. A cracked dizzy cap may cause the same issue and the crack may be barely visible and hard to find...

If it has a mechanical counterweight advance on the dizzy I would have said lubricate that and free that up, could be after revs the counterweights stay out and only slowly return as they have not been lubricated? This would have the effect of advancing timing and returning it to normal over time. I...

Me too, PM Sent

My red Scorpion also has an eBay car alarm on it (different brand but same result). Mine cost $29 from memory and came with auto-arm, adjustable motion sensor, doors, and bonnet sensor, and starter cut off relay with multi-tone siren. My then 10 y.o. daughter even helped me solder it into the car, t...

I have seen Plymouth Sapporo 2.0L Turbos for sale on eBay in the US. Only brochures available at the moment. But again are 2.0 not 2.6. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Mitsubishi-Colt-Galant-Sapporo-Turbo-1982-5-UK-Brochure-/18/!BUL-TJQ!Wk~$(KGrHgoOKiUEjlLmWrB3BKMRNHZn,w~~_12.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Mitsu...
