  1. Had some spare time After the manfeild swap meet today got a bit keen Probably Should sort this shit out
  2. This being my 3rd 84 sigma out of ten-ish sigma's Iv owned.hve been out of action a while but Have since Purchased this slug for work duties.nothing new,8v 4g63 5 speed. on the same re drilled 12 Slots as my last posted sigma project.just acquired a new warrant,plan too clock up some Ks while deciding on a permanent long term project. Height prior to wof
  3. . While my car was up on the Redneck wheel ramp's i pinched my old ladies late 2000 ford focus.Never been more proud of my four year old son,as we drove the focus into town for groceries,he said and I quote "this car's shit" I was stunned to say the least,I replied "why?" He said "i like your car" what a G.C... I really need to get my louvres on.That is this weeks goal as the filth factor has been running on E lately. Be keen to buy a diff head to lock up if anybody has a cheap one. accepting my addiction to burnt rubber and dealing with it 2 tyres at a time. building it to please myself. nobody else. skidding daily.
  4. removed gearbox & clutch today.EDIT 20-11-14... had issues with the clutch, will put up pictures very soon, my garden run off is right were i parked the car so lay in it every minute of replacing clutch, replaced clutch with a new one, bought a spare heavy duty clutch (just incase) sitting pretty low in rear yet still putting lower springs in the rear tomorrow pink stickered for two bald tyres due to ruthless twin spinners anyone would be proud of (got pulled up 10 minutes later) was given compliance on a pink sticker wtf? since when?anyway il go down tomorrow get that removed. clutch work pic old clutch pic (to come) pinky pic offending tyre pic
  5. Haumoana hawkesbay= scorching sun.Manawatu = wind and rain
  6. had these shocks delivered today from an old sigma i had,they should keep things captive and legal for daily usage,overdue for a clutch replacement (spongey)(starting to slip now) but I knew this when i bought the car,next months plan is to lighten the flywheel when it gets skimmed and replace clutch with a puk/HD item.new shocks are in + fresh service so it's ready for a weekend drive wherever the weather's going to be nice,pics of car ready for wof (which again passed) cheers.roof rack in above pics is up for grabs if anyones,s keen.
  7. Acheived a clean sheet wof today and il attempt to fit a spare clutch plate in tomorrow.seeing as it got the wof im obligated to drive it twice as much now,i also found a set of lovells for the rear (local) so i just need some shorter shocks to mate those with.pics to come.
  8. Thanks man,Theyre growing on me slowly,still not pleased with the tyre situation but if theres anything iv learnt on this site its that good things take time.I appreciate the appreciation.
  9. got the 12 slots on today,booked a wof for tuesday,will update with results afterwards...anyway a pic as a sign of things to come,hate it or love it,balloons arent just for parties
  10. Rim Right manawatu + mirror chromed centre's and 4x114 conversion = $500.i didnt take any pics of the 14x7's (front rims) on the car but still the fitment is perfect,offset on the 8s (rear rims) is near identicle to the 17x10's previously purchased so im still getting the flush fitment in the rear,im unsure on where il end up tyre wise so it can wait,possible 195 40 14 all round but yet an eager would be just as easy on the eye,definatly going lower at some stage so have to keep that in mind. until next time keep it oldschool...
  11. going to attempt a wof when my new wheels come home,impatience and idle hands are the devils playground
  12. Removed some of the side trims over the weekend and dreamt of the whole panel and paint idea...took a drive after work today,stopped in at Rim Right in Milson and ended up leaving without my 12 slots so late next week should get interesting,i cant wait to see how the offset plays out.if anybody has any pics of 195-45-14s or near enough to that size tyre on 8 inch rims il be keen to see those.I was trawling trademe over the weekend which resulted in this here below,may pop a few tyres when i get my wheels back and strap them onto the roof rack hahaaa and yes those are 14x5.5 inch cheviots haha so Fugly //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/44813-sigmafias-1984-sigma-se-sedan-discussion/
