Re: 1600cc engine to fit a sigma or scorpion bay
Keep in mind its wont technically be pushing around a scorpion... all that will be original is the bodyshell, no doors, bonnet, front guards or boot as they will all be fibreglass, back quarters will also most likely be glass as well...and given it will be a 10yo driving it on clay it prolly wont ev...

speedo sticks randomly at 100
not sure what the problem is but the speedo in the blue GH scorpion was randomly sticking at 100 and the only way to sort it was to tap the front of it a few times and it would suddenly work again... anyone have any ideas what would cause this and how to resolve? according to my GPS it was showing t...
