Plus i can hook it up to the alarm hey.. For the vl calais i installed a Rhino V? something or other which came with keyless entry and remote boot unlocking etc.. i miss having that useless feature lol In regards to the newer model sigma idea, i just thought if i could buy a wrecked sigma with all t...

Firstly i will apologise straight away for asking this when im sure the information is somewhere on here or the archived board. Although its pretty specific and a quick search didn't come up with much of anything useful. Basically these are the things i want for the GH (which has an astron 1 2.6 bw ...

hahah no offence taken at all :P Simple things like changine head gaskets on 7mge's and 4.0ltr falcons i can do, removing/installing an engine on my own to replace a clutch i can do and have rebuilt 2 12a's in my short time. Besides, its an internet forum and im just asking questions while having fu...

shuggy - Hmmm i might take a trip upto the wreckers and see if i can grab another set of jets just to make sure :P When i say its disconnected, i mean i have not connected the heater element to a power supply. Also to keep it open i have just adjusted the thermostat (i think thats what its called :$...

I have checked the float levels and they are perfect. The needle seats perfectly and doesnt leak. I have sprayed the living crap out of the maniold lol and there are no leaks that i can see. I have all the vacuum ports blocked and the choke is disconnected. What happens is that even with the choke d...

The next step would be to decide on whether or not i should either A) Keep my wide block Astron 1 which is at full compression (185 psi all round .. 180.. something like that) with balance shaft removal kit and new headgasket. And just change the pistons to magna ones. or B) If i have to get an Astr...

Haha i would be lying if i didnt have a tiny thought of sitting in the passenger seat of TR11KY as the accelerator accidentally stuck in one or 2 gears, on the way to Newcastle (A) Although when it was my fault for rocking up almost 2 hours late and thank god i had dan giving me directions or i woul...

What sort of power are you making brendon?? I don't suppose you happen to have any video's i could perv at do you

It makes it hard when i have never actually been in another astron besides my current car and my previous 2.0 auto GH :$ I have sat and revved a TR auto at idle ha ha.. exciting stuff that was :P I guess i could always take the sensible approach and tinker with an astron 2 and convert it to RWD EFI ...

After driving to Newcastle from Sydney (GH, Astron 1 2.6, 34ADM, BW 5 speed) i have come to realise that she LOVES petrol. I keep reading that Astron's are known for their alcoholism although this is why i chose a 4 cylinder in the first place. Then again it is a 28 year old engine/car combination s...

Luckily the bearing i needed was the $28 one Part number GSB319 It still needs to be pressed on so i will be using the method shuggy suggested. I am just waiting on this bloody clutch to get here

Me and my angle grinder are like *THIS* son! If i can't get something off with one of those, a cold chisel and my persuader (big ass hammer) then it has earnt the right to stay :mrgreen: Spending so much time at pick n pull wreckers i have learnt to improvise Macgyver style :idea: Yeah there is no d...

Ta man, so do i :) Suddenly it has given me inspiration to do things to her while the engine is out. On a more realistic note lol I rang repco and apparently there are 2 release bearings for the gearboxes. Im assuming its for teh B/W and the Jap box. Anyway he said one was $28 and the other was $71!...

Haha i read about that happening. Its kind of funny though, because that was THE hardest part we had to tackle when we were getting the engine and gearbox out on the weekend!! No matter how hard we tried we could NOT undo that plastic securing nut evil satanic thing. We made double sure that it wasn...

FFIINNEEE i guess you talked me into doing a proper job

In the mean time we cleaned up the engine bay a bit.

From this:


To This:

I was just reading the Gregories and it says i will need to get the release bearing pressed on. I don't even have a vice to get teh bastard off :lol: Seems like it will be staying on there untill i take the motor out and fit the magna pistons and jap 5 speed. So far i have bought an Exedy Clutch and...

Hey all :P I pulled the clutch out today with the help of a mate and have taken some pics of the clutch plate, pressure plate and flywheel. The clutch disc is worn out pretty bad and the pressure plate has bent tangs and it looks like the release bearing has been ground into the tangs :S Anyway you ...

Hmmm how hard are they to find and which models were they fitted to? Oh and how much do wreckers usually sell them for? I am going to have to pull the engine out again to fit the magna pistons so even if i leave teh BW in today i can grab one later on.

The engine and gearbox will be out tomorrow and i really dont want the car to feel the same once its all put back together. All this stuffing around just so it will be the same annoys me... sooooo i was thinking are the Jap 5 Speeds really THAT much better to drive with? ATM it has the 34adm weber a...

is that what you have in the 200rwkw scorp? The HD clutch?

I am pretty sure its a BW.. reverse is adjacent to 1st. Just tried adjusting it then and it didnt do a thing. The car started first go which was odd. Maybe its just mocking me lol. I might aswell just get a HD clutch while im at it, i dont want to go pulling the engine out agai njust to put ANOTHER ...

Thats what i was thinking. I had hard enogh time trying to fit a FWD manual gearbox to a 3sge while it was out of the car. I can only imagine how muc effort it would be UNDER the car. Looks like ill be pulling the engine apart while im at it to fit the magna pistons. I'm not going through all of thi...

After all this stuffing around NOW the clutch goes on me. I don't race (its a sigma) and i dont do burnouts (its a sigma) so it was a suprise to put my foot down to get on the motorway and have the car fev its tits off but go NOWHERE. Only JUST got it home. I can put it in 5th and rev it without the...

Haha i love my luck. Now the clutch is gone.

I don't suppose the clutch going would cause any of this? so over this car

I fixed the high revving miss today :P Judging from the crappy info i have supplied in this thread can anyone take a guess on what the problem was?? It would have been impossible to diagnose over a forum out it that way lol Bah ill just say what *I* did wrong :roll: Since i could not find anyone tha...

Yeah its mechanical :P The original was teh serviceable "2" outlet pump, while this replacement is the "3" outlet pump. I have the outlet that has the smaller diameter opening blocked off while the larger diameter outlet is delivering the fuel to the weber. I'll take pics just to...

I just uploaded some videos on youtube of the dizzy rotor and fuel flow. They are around 5 seconds eacha nd would be awesome if you guys could take a look and let me know if everything looks ok? :) Dizzy Rotor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMZRyOk7eDI And the fuel flow (.. watch for the fail lol) h...

Hmm ill have a look at the gregories.. i want to make sure i know what im doing as i HATE being zapped by ignition coils!! Watching the spark jump from your fingers to the front guard, then 1 second later feeling it, isnt something i want to keep happenign to me lol I was just thinking aswell... fro...

Sorry to make another post i just didnt want this getting lost amongst my previous rant lol But the car WILL be going efi then turbo later on. I was thinking i want this problem completely gone before that happens right. So what can i change now that needs to be changed for the efi conversion that m...
