I ended up using bolts I stole out of one of my parts cars. From memory i think they were the steering box and idler arm mounting bolts that are longer to go through the chassis rails.

14mm is the size of the spanner you need for them.

The thread size is M10 x 1.25

I'd really love to know what carbs/throttle bodies suit this manifold as well. I have one here thats almost identical, but it's been modified with a custom inlet plenum to suit Magna injection onto the Astron I head.

GJ Sigmas still ran an Astron I, but in the Scorps they started using the Astron II in 1980 with the release of the GJ Scorp.

It's fairly well known that if you want to put power steering into a Sigma or Scorpion then you need to get the steering column as well as they are shorter to suit the larger power steering box. With my recently purchased GE convertible I found the steering column had been badly butchered to suit a ...

Found this forum thread, with a mivec Lancer, but most of the pics no longer work.

I have seen a couple of 4g92 Mivec engines fitted into LA Lancers in the past.

I bought a 4G92 SOHC engine years ago to test but the head, dizzy, etc was completely different and there is no way the SOHC version would fit.

I'll be in, but I need a couple of weeks notice so I can N/A my availability at work. It'll give everyone a chance to see the new convertible.

Thats the number you want. Even though it is 2 lines on the block, most rego places will condense it down to a single line/engine number, EG. G63BGH4***

I have an unused pair of guard lowers here. Bought them from a company that was clearing out some of their old stock, so I got the pair for $10 They say GJ Sigma on them, but I'm fairly sure they would suit a GN too if you want them for the $10 +postage.

Thats if it's an Astron, and even then factory Sigma turbo blocks were different. If the engine is one of the 500 factory GH Sigma turbo engines then the engine number is stamped on the flat horizontal surface above the upper balance shaft. However I believe Scorpy's Sigma is an import with the Star...

Another small update. For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to track down an issue when the car would randomly stall at idle, and surge and miss whilst cruising or accelerating. I started off with removing a bunch of dodgy ignition wire that someone had put in for various kill switches. Th...

This isn't a Sunchaser. To the best of my knowledge they only used GK and GL Scorps. The roof on this is a completely different design, as well as the way they have gone about adding additional strength under the floor, etc. I've been into Scorps for around 16-17 years now. In all that time this is ...

The seller was a fairly young guy and hadn't had it very long. Owner before him was an older guy that lived locally.

Just vinyl I think. Seats are in excellent condition. Door trims coverings are OK, but the masonite backing is falling apart and will need replacing. Worst looking part is the carpet but that is easy enough to replace. I knew getting it would be a bit of an adventure, but life would be pretty boring...

Both myself and my father have had the same issue, as well as others on here.

All that my father and myself have done is add an extra rubber seal to take up the gap between the track rod and the pitman arm to keep the grease in and any crap out. They still seem to work fine.

As some of my Facebook friends probably already know I bought myself a GE Scorp convertible a couple of weeks ago. Those last couple of weeks have resulted in well over 3000k's of trips to look at, and pick up the car and parts that come with it and a heap of time and parts to get it back on the roa...

Fusable Link? It's a short red wire that connects to the positive battery terminal, and designed to blow if there is a bad short or similar somewhere.

The Lancer strut tops will not fit the Galant, however the Galant ones should fit onto the Lancer strut allowing the complete strut assembly to be fitted into the Galant.

Possibly, but it would be a lot more work.

The springs sit on top of the diff so there are extra brackets for them, the shock mounts are different, and possibly the suspension arm mounts too. It has been done though.

Yep. I did it a couple of years ago. You need to use the diff out of a GH Scorp, they are the stronger 10 bolt setup, but have all the correct mountings to suit a GH Sigma. Only change suspension wise is that you need to use the upper control arms out of the Scorp. The brake hose to the body is a sl...

I gave it a good clean as it had some white powdery stuff on it, but that was it. It seals fine with no leaks.

Apparently this only works with a brand new seal, and if you try and use it a second time it will need sealant.

I have done it. Used the rope method where you sit the windscreen and seal over the opening, and pull a piece of rope through the seal to pull it inside. It took a couple of attempts trying it by myself and I kept failing, but once I had a helper that could hold some pressure on the screen from the ...

341mm.

Yep. I was running a set of Sigma turbo rims on a GC wagon. No issues with standard struts, or with GH Scorp struts fitted. Tyres were 195/50/15, which is close to the original rolling diameter so the speedo still reads almost the same.

It can be done manually. When I go into My eBay, then click on sell, It comes up with the "Tell us what your selling" page. Underneath the box where you type is a link that says "Browse Categories". If you click on this it will allow you to look through the catergories and sub-ca...

I was under the impression that the resistor dropped the voltage whilst running to around 7 volts. This meant the the points and so on lasted longer. On starting/cranking it allowed a higher voltage through to provide a stronger spark for easier starting.

The manifold I used on the conversion in the pics had been cut and welded to turn it into a 'high-mount' setup. Another option is an adaptor plate that bolts to the head, and has a new bolt pattern/studs that allows the manifold to be bolted on upside down. The November 2000 issue of Hot 4's has a h...

My Father in law has done the wheels on one side of his Navara as a test. It's been on there for about 3 months, and I couldn't see any damage at all. He does over 1000k's a week driving through central NSW so it should be a good test of it's durability.

I've bought that on DVD too. Still have a "Love the Beast" sticker somewhere too if I haven't already stuck it on my toolbox.
