Re: Sigma Turbo Build

Late model Sigma engines are the best platform to start with.... Then get the efi gear that necessary (wiring, intake etc)

Most efficient way if u wanna go the turbo efi route

Re: Urgent help required - disc brakes

the difference in balance will be rather small (may not even be noticeable) given that the weight (and more importantly) weight distribution is essentially identical between the two cars

Re: Urgent help required - disc brakes

Re: Diffs

Depending on the models yes......but the majority of the manuals ran a 3.42.....most autos ran (I believe) ran a 3.7 or so......

Some ghs apparently ran a 3.23 as an auto and I even heard some early ge's ran a 3.9 as a manual

Re: new l200 owner + a few questions

Hey there....and welcome Not sure about wagon using the same chassis.....Sigma wzgins were coil sprung so it be all different mountings. However, engines and gearboxes are primarily just as interchangeable as a Sigma...wide/narrow terms is to with the bolt pattern between the block and bellhousings ...

I think it's the perfect base to learn panel beating/spray painting skills (if budget permits of course) But with Ge's becoming more and more rare....I'd say the best thing to do is simply salvage absolutely everything u can from that car (from panels to trim clips), clean them up so they are usable...
