nice car , down here we call them a chigma.
dont sleeve the block get another. good to see a sohc motor kept to keep the old school look. scorpian diffs are strong and at one stage you were able to get a mini spool for them , not sure but the borg warner ones may fit , you may have to confirm the splines .

these are better than welding. if you ever want to venture down the auto way track down a scorpian auto , they are called the baby 904 and can hold 500hp when tricked correctly , contact keas in vic for more info .

again nice chigma . gota love the old school look ,

Where are you going zippo? They are much better known as the Stigma in Melbourne, and prolly in other places too. For most of them the name is quite suitable, but not this beast. Great set of wheels Anchor, lots of time and money have really made it.

Thanks guys, sent the clutch and billet flywheel down to Doug @ NPC today. He's gunna have a look at it and re-drill to fit the biggest clutch possible with the most clamping pressure..
I want this thing to hold 2nd gear limiter launches... rofl

Sending the exhuast manifold away on thursday after i get the head. Gunna port-match it first then get it coated.

Haha not really, i live paycheck to paycheck...

Don't drink/smoke/do drugs either. And my ute is broken so i'm saving like $200/week which would usually go towards fuel

I don't see any cam listed ...or that is why a GT30 took 23psi to make 300 ?

I personally would build a 2.4L. No replacemnet for displacement

very nice ride, regardless

Yep, thats why. New head has a cam. Ralliart copy, 35/70 70/35

Displacement? Haha this is just a toy.

My ute is for displacement..

I love it! Definitely looks tough!

Here's my cheapo comedy attempt at a Sigma...

I never planned on getting a Sigma, but I actually picked it up for $20, registered, and needed something to drive while I get my Starion, and my 4 wheel drive fixed, so it's a temporary car. Bit I couldn't leave it standard! The paint and bonnet scoop were an accident, I was just stuffing around on Sunday arvo, and someone handed me the scoop and a new round chrome air cleaner, and my wife said, yeh why not, so out came the jigsaw, and on went a scoop.
I call it a Slugma, cos it's auto, and handles like a top heavy snail.

So all in all, yours is the real deal, I like it :)

And here's my $20 version:

Looks like a good bush basher :P

Picked up my head/studs/adj cam gear off Rad last night. Very happy with purchase.

Decided to go fully floating gudgeon pins while i'm at it.. More $$$ rofl
Bearings are like new, will probably still replace them.

Ok the rods, 3 have a W on them, one has a U.. Explaino please??

The 3 with the W have been shaved down etc, the one with the U hasn't but they are all exactly the same weight... wtf. Like EXACTLY

obviously been balanced, and the odd one was the minimum weight, hence no shaved section..

Steal!!! :drool:
Haha!

I've always like the look of the GH Sigmas too. I almost bought one until I bought a GH Scorpion instead.
Yours is nice and straight, and VERY tidy.
Good stuff!

First car was a GH Siggy

Few pictures of what i've been up to the past week. As well as the old fried clutch. Didn't like 2nd gear launches :(

New head as well as an AEM adjustable cam gear and some new arp studs
