so today was a good day! went to the wreckers and got all four lowering springs for $70, a set of extracters for $30 and a tailight for $30!!! this cunt was a GC! has heaps of oldschool jap bits like KE's, KP's, Galants, Lancers, Sigmas, Eterna's etc. so i went home and put the new springs in and my god its on its ARSE!! so happy, pics: Next Mission: Exhaust.

finally had a patch of good sun on my day off so i got the wheels painted and i think they are not too bad considering it was a rattle can job. but as soon as the paint was dry enough it started pissing down with rain!!! so quickly got them inside. did a ninja style mission as i was nervous they would not fit on the front. so with jack and strongarm in one hand and a wheel in the other i tried it on. It fits!! only with about 1.5mm clearance but im happy. also went to the wreckers and found some subaru legacys that i will be steeling the exhausts off to build my boso's
-
Just tried the modgies on the front and they clear the caliper by about 1.5mm. WIN!
-
no progress as such today but threw together a sketch of the exhaust i am building once i get the exhaust tubing Thoughts?

First off sorry for the fucking terrible picture, but all i have is my cell phone and the flash decided to play games but you get the point. so i got a bit bored after work and decided to put some new wheel studs in my 25mm spacers as a few where cross threaded, a task that had been on my wants list for a while. also while looking in my scrap metal pile (boxes of random car crap i have acquired over time) i found a bit of tube with a bolt wedged in the top so i thought why not make a new gearstick. Note: standard size in centre console. thats all for now.
-
sounds like a handy feature, thanks for your help!
-
yeah they are still good, but as i can only see one valve i would assume mine has just the one line. is it difficult to split the lines into individual? This car will be on its bum so with soft springs i can play around with the air pressure to differentiate comfort/ride quality?
-
Righto, Today after work i went and bought some tyres and took them round to my old mans so he was ready with the compressor as i filled the tyre with hair spray and popped out the beads. its amazing looking at the difference between generations as the rim (14x7)on the left is off his 69' 351 mustang and to the right is my 13x7's
-
so simple fact is replace the shocks?
-
as money is a bit tight for me atm everything is pretty much being done on the cheap cheap but im open to hear your options, cheers
-
Yeah, now i had a feeling about this looking at how close the caliper was to the factory 14" rim. simple fact is i haven't had enough motivation to try them on due to its been raining here for the last 3 days. i have my fingers crossed that because of the stepdown from the inside centre of the rim is almost instant (Hope that makes sense) where is the factory rim has a small step down and far out from the inside centre. have you tried 13x7 wheels on your sigma? im hoping if the caliper rubs a bit then 5-10mm spacers will sort this out
-
Anyone know what the deal is with air shocks? does it make it easier or harder to lower? keep or replace?

So yesterday i went to blenheim and picked up these 13x7 babies for cheap Plan is due to them being unsavable polishing wise they will be going blaaaaack. i also had some old shitty chrome bands in the shed and tried some jdm-ness on them then while i had the manga comics out i did the fuel cap was looking around the car and noticed that the rear end had air shocks so not sure if that will work to my advantage while lowering? anyway i found some springs in the shed that might fit the front so will try them out when i get time. also foung my old fwd sigma alloys that i really want to get widened but have been told its an expensive task and due to the rarity of them i dont want to attempt myself
-
Plan is lower it, put some nice wheels, bit of jdm bits here and there and basically have a sexy oldschool runabout (low 'n' slow) as nothing will be done to the motor except maintenance and a tune up.

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/48218-kcs-1982-skidma-discussion/ Righto, Bit of a background of me: Im Kc Rose and iv been a viewer on this site for the last three years, but never had a post of my own. Im 18 Years old and am an Apprentice engineer. Although This is a post about my 82' sigma ill share some oldschool background first: My First car was a 1982 greenied de-sprung Ex lancer with the might 1200cc powerplant that i bought at 15yo this was my afterschool project with help from my dad. after we had finished it looked like this and after I got d.i.c'd while i had loss of traction we rebuilt a 4g32(1600cc) motor and put that in. so after i got offered a stupid amount of money for it i kinda went on a spending spree getting a vs commodor (no pics coz not oldschool) a 78' datsun c20 van, an 81' Sigma and an 88' Volvo 740. now after a while i sold the van which later i found out got written off and i sold the sigma which my father has told me has nearly been written of several times around town. and of course i sold the commodor well.. because it wasnt oldschool! so what im left with is a 88' volvo. And this is my dream car believe it or not. ever since 8 years old i had un unhealthy want for a 740 wag. so after lots of trademe hunting i found one. after driving it around for 3 months it was clear that the old girl needed some tlc. so i decided i would buy a runabout and take the 2 tonne beast off the road for some AU Falcon turboness.. haha! but more about that on another thread. Anyway! here is my 1982 skidma runabout/driving project
