Re: Cottees' 1987 Sigma GN GSR Super Edition
Cottees...when you put in your Starion struts did you use the Sigma steering tie rod and adjusters ?? Pretty much all I changed were the struts, steering knuckles (cause the Sigma ones won't bolt to the Starion struts) and the lower control arms. Everything else is standard Sigma. The Starion lower...

Re: Cottees' 1987 Sigma GN GSR Super Edition
A couple days ago, the GN started to whistle. Turns out the intake elbow cracked. Luckily I had some tools and a coat hanger in the car for a temporary fix. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_5882_zps773c947d.jpg With around 10 hours on and off fixing it, it now works.

Re: Cottees' 1987 Sigma GN GSR Super Edition
My 1st guess was possibly extra castor The castor looks to be ok. I've also experienced it from idler arm problems. The idler arm is brand new.

Re: Starion 2.6T fit lancer?
I am not sure if anyone has done this mod. In Australia, the Starions came out with a 2.0L 4G63 turbo engine. Better things to search for are some of the parts individually. The 2.6L Starion would be a turbo 4G54, and the transmission would be a KM132. All of the 4G5x Astron engines are the same phy...

Yeah, it is coming from my home server, so will be a little slow. That is why I haven't public posted the link. But, I won't be removing it in a hurry, so you'll be able to eventually get the whole lot. If it stops working, yell out, and I'll PM you the new address.
