Oh no, dude. Hope that didn't go anywhere it'd cause you any (more) grief. The photos aren't doing your work any justice, looks good now it's going back together though.

cheers there bro,black is defenatly good looking colour..especially on the sigma! ive tried so bloody hard to get the engine bay as clean and tidy as i can.up close it still might need some conjune to hide most of the wiring and existing wiring that has joined up from the loom.
maybe its just me but not too woried bout all the little things atm just want the car back together.i can then give her a good detail and clean her up good when the time is right.

Ok guys after plenty of shopping and traveling trying to get wheels for the sig i finally have made a beautiful purchase...
i know ive posted on the WTB thread that i was after a set of 17 or 18" fr simmons but when these came up through a mutal freind i couldnt let them pass without buying them..pick them up last night.19"fr simmons.. ps im painting the centres gold??

i also might slap them on the van as there ford stud pattern..

also threw some pics up of the siggy while it was at my mates shop.was supposed to take it to maztech and get it dynoed but now i have to wait til monday...

[GLANT]

paint wheels gold?? what about red so it brings out the gsr stripes etc

[ISKA8]

paint wheels gold?? what about red so it brings out the gsr stripes etc

i was initally going to paint the gsr stripes gold to match gold fr's but id rather keep it pretty much almost factory looking on the outside apart from the wheels..
gold wheels will break up the whole car and i might get a set of front and rear brembos in red so that goes with the stripes..i just want most of the focus on those sexy wheels!
cheers for the thought though!

[turbogj260]

YES!! King oth paint the inners gold! B interesting to c if u go ahead with the Brembo setup. Guessing out of a B series GT??

[orangelancer]

this car is gonna look sweet as once its all put together. good job mate and keep the pics coming

[ISKA8]

YES!! King oth paint the inners gold! B interesting to c if u go ahead with the Brembo setup. Guessing out of a B series GT??

yeah i kinda did some reaseach into the brake setup,i can purchase a brand new set of 6spot calipers F &4 spot calipers R brembos off the b series for $1500-$2000 with slotted rotors but i think they will be too much out there for my car??or was thinking somewere in the line of the evo brembos? same stud pattern just the offset is different,can change that to suit though..still a pondering process .. just want the FR's on and ill see what happens

this car is gonna look sweet as once its all put together. good job mate and keep the pics coming

cheers for that buds,its been a bloody hard road to get to were it is now but i cant wait..

[ISKA8]

finally took the beast to maztech this morning for the final run on the dyno...
before anything we found some problems that havnt been adressed yet like: turbo dumpipe gasket leaking,dumpipe-exhaust leaking,vaccuum hoses still were up to Sh@# and inlet manifold has a pinhole leak..we will see what happens in the next few days and long maztech takes.i will post a video of the car getting the final dyno when its time.. cant bloody wait!

[turbogj260]

think they are prob gonna be a bit to big for the sig. Got the standard PBR twin spot calipers on the BA GT and they pull up fine. Suss them out maybe? 6 spot will lock up and be a bit 2 touchy I think. Either way ide be keen to c what u end up doing. Good luck bro

yeah i think yourright on the money bro.might give rxcorp a buzz,i remember him selling a set of complete springs,shocks calipers & rotors off a BA to suit sigma..hmmm
i think for memory they were 4 stud though? ill gie him a buzz and let you know how everything pans out..

[ISKA8]

Hey guys i just got off the phone with anthony @ MAZTEC,he reckons the timing was still out and that also the cam timing had jumped a tooth hensce the car spluttering and running like crap?? apparently when on the dyno the knock sensor wasnt respondind with the cam or dizzy or some sh#@ like that..anyway i get another call back from him saying that the car is running alot better and had it running in the background while i was talking to him,sounded bloody awsome over the phone! still a bit of tinkering to do before the car gets the final run on the dyno but its very close and im exited! all that remains is on how bloody much his gonna charge me this time around??scared as the last time i went there i came out $5k out of pocket ...
in the mean time i have been preparing the newly purchased bonnet which didnt need anything but some undercoat ,it was perfectly straight.the boot however ist too crash hot but it will do ...all thats left to paint is all the plastic bars and moulds.hopefully this week??
ill throw some more pics up the finishing paint stage's tonight

[TUFSIG]

looking forward to seeing how you go on the dyno man
im still waiting for my custom cooler lol

[ISKA8]

ive asked you a question on your post in regards to the custom cooler? i thought you already had a cooler on there,didnt you?

looking forward to seeing how you go on the dyno man

you and me both bro,its been a long time coming thats for sure...

[ISKA8]

ok so i havnt had a chance to take any pics of the bonnet and stuff get prepped for paint as im still battling away trying to get the car out of maztec..i had another phone call from anthony(maztec) and he is still struggling to get any power out of the motor? he says that at 11psi the car keeps pinging and backfiring? he asked me what comp im runing on the car in which after a breif phone call to engine pro i found that the car is running a steel head gasket with comp under the 8:0:0,he replyed by say that theres no way the car is on that comp?? he seems to think that the car is running more comp than that of what my mate said?on top of that,they say that the timing isnt calebrating with the car on boost? beats the hell out of me

so did he re time the cam and dizzy??? sounding abit suss!! 5K omfffg!!!

[ISKA8]

so did he re time the cam and dizzy??? sounding abit suss!! 5K omfffg!!!

he said he did,but i was speaking to my mate and he said that it had already been adjusted? yeah bro exactly...
they already done the work and as they didnt quote me before hand,thats what i had to pay.
lets see how much they charge me this time around??already telling me they spent 2 days on the car and its been on the dyno alot,so just the labour aspect is kinda frightening
