state autocross event yesterday - 10am to 10pm.

undriveable.
too much power, not enough traction.

effen awesome :D

but serious oversteer city.
rear sway bar is already removed, may have to look at an lsd, new tyres, better suspension.
currently cig diff, stock suspension and second hand pirelli p-zero rally tyres.
2.6 M8 head mild port and polish, shaved 2mm, balance shafts removed, 2 1/4" straight thru exhaust, stage 3 cam, gsxr750 motorbike carbies of love.

gear ratio could be a bit shorter too I think.

still great fun, but a lot more of a challenge to drive.

nice work Benny and SuperScan.

Hmm, should I be worried?? My 3.9 lsd is still down there. :D

Love to see how it goes on bitumen but that POS BW box will have to be replaced with a proper gearbox.


Cheers.

it's a sad, sad day.

Benno and I have sold our shares (reluctantly) to Craigo.
Craigo is going to turn her into a dirt circuit sprint style car.

She was (IS) a great little car, part of the deal was that Benno and I be allowed one last drive in her.
Damit, we'd only just got her to where we wanted her (ie: mental).

Benno has got himself a missus, and has lost a bit of his passion for racing at the moment.
I have been so busy with rallying, I haven't had the time to invest in the Stigma of Love, and Craigo was keen on me buying out his share so he could buy a dirt circuit car.

I already have too many race cars (what!?!?! too many race cars?!?!?! is there such a thing?!?!?!)
believe it or not, yes, as it is one lives at my Brothers, and one lives on the street...

So basically I couldn't really buy Craigo out, but he was keen to buy us out.

All 3 of us went into this because she *was* a Sigma, and none of us liked Sigmas.
Great car to crash we figured, cause who would care? ;)

But now we all love her, and have become Sigma (& Mistsi) fans :D :D :D

Superscan - many many many thanks for everything you have done for us, and a great friendship has been forged.
There is always a bed over here for you buddy, and we'll have to see if we can get you over here for another drive of her.

Cheers Shifta for the awesome webpage you made for her too buddy - really appreciated.
Thanks to everyone else on here who has offered help, advice, support, and showed up to events.

I'll still be hanging around this forum (unless I get banned for the above lol) of course, so don't be a stranger.
And if I get the chance, another Mitsi will be bought, built, and raced in my hands...

Cheers
Damian
