yeah allan and i have been thinking of doing something like this since march after we had a chat to craig at the phillip island meeting i think we have decided to cut/sacrifice the bottom off one of a spare set of hubs and welding + strengthening it to the hubs on the car - but lower - the improved...

from the IPRA section of the good book 9.10 Rear suspension components: Devices for the lateral location of the rear wheels on vehicles with a live axle, and any associated brackets on the body, are free. Brackets may be welded to the body. All other components which have any function in the locati...

i have been telking to many people about irs suspension and when you significantly lower a car as i have done it obviously throws out the factory geometry. craig with the xerox car explained this but i have studiesd the group a starions and they use rose joints and a heap of other changes that i am...

Steve, long time no hear. Yeah, the Sigma was my sons car. Every run he did was quicker than his PB from last year. This coming week-end I've entered my JB in the Hillclimb at Ararat in the road registered class just for a bit of fun. Entries don't close till Wednesday, so how about some more Stari...

Thrash, might need a lot more than just an injection to get me up to the speed of all those young 40 year olds. :) :) panda come on Pete is always good to give the young guys a hurry up only 1 sigma in the list I see - I must try and get over one of thses days I'm putting my 4 door starion back tog...

Have heard that there is a chain tensioner mod that keeps tension or takes up the slack in the chain until the oil pressure tensioner can do it's job. I always fit a spacer behind the tentioner plunger its easy to measure while dialing the cam in and the front cover is off when removing the head th...

Hey cheater, yes, you need to get the old girl out and come mix it up again - last Saturday was a perfect way to have a play around with our toys. No official times, but I think the widey is good for mid 1:50's and looking over the video I took, I was low 2 minutes. the best I've done there is 2:00...

hi there Jeff hay what times were you guys all doing

I looked on natsoft but they only had the kart times


I have to get the sigma going again and I need to know how much needs to be done to grannys shopping car to keep up

okay so here is my problem..... im just finishing off my gk sigma. Its got a 6 bolt narrow block galant vr4 4g63 engine in it. Im running a borg warner bell housing (sandwich plate then mounted to W58.. not important) note im running the backing/cover plate off an evo 1-3 which lined up perfectly i...

If you're really concerned about reducing rotating mass of your driveline, don't ignore the clutch. A small diameter, high clamp clutch combined with a lightweight flywheel will do wonders. Keeping any weight in your driveline as close to an extended line from your crank to your diff is as importan...

MMMMM so shaving 1mm off the head might be the go, good to know! might just chuck it together for now and see how she goes, I have an M6 magna head here to fit at a later date, anyone know what the compression chamber CC's are for standard compared to M6? about 70 cc from memory - also for every mm...

I made one up out of 2 sigma out lets just machined one with a small counter bore for the thermostat to fit into and bolted them together note you need to drill a small hole in the flange of the thermostat around 4 - 5 mm so some coolant will still flow or the thermo doesnt open till after the engin...
