For the fronts, you can use Evo 4 lowering springs.

For the rear, you can use CS5W Lancer Cedia rear shocks. If you find Ralliart Cedia shocks they may drop it a little further. The top bolt holes bolt in perfectly. The lower shock mount is narrower than the Sigma. I made up some spacers to take up the......space.

Hopefully that makes sense.

I assume you are buying/have bought the white GSR-X on trademe.

I have just completed a manual conversion on my FWD Sigma, but I luckily had a donor car to get all the bits I needed.

If I was to do it again I would look to use a gearbox from a SB/SC/E33A Galant. These gearboxes dont use a vacuum actuator to select 5th gear. Its all cables. Make sure to get the selector cables to suit that gearbox. For the clutch pedal I think you will need one from a manual Sigma as I dont think the Galant is the same. Pretty sure axles are the same between auto and manual.

Being an SE it will have the digital dash and velour interior. It's missing the Sigma SE specific wheels and instead seems to be wearing some Sigma GSR/late Cordia GSR wheels.

My SE is fitted with the same "GSR" wheels as wheel. Even has a 5th mag as a spare

Cheers mate

The springs stayed captive with the standard shocks. Clint mentioned during a cert inspection that they are a bit soft than what he'd liked. I agree too. These particular springs are rather soft.

Whats your plans for your wagon?

Fairly keen on this

If you've got lotsa money

Loving the build

The want for a Galant/Eterna/Sigma is high!

That EE80 is fantastic

Need a sticker. Might have to turn up

At the park building or the carparks on Walters Rd?

Love your work Neal

May attend, and bring a devil child or two

Ahh, so it was the fuel pump. Man, might have to look at stock piling a few pumps

Im not sure of Mitsi's of that era, but the later models had metal cased relays. 6 pins.

Headlight relay normally lives by the battery. Probably what released the magic smoke.

Hey Clint

I just messaged Chris and asked if he could remember how the struts were made. He seems to think it was the spigot method.

Im kinda thinking of having him do the same to my Starion struts so everything from the spigot up on the Sigma struts will swap over.

Whats the deal when it comes to cert? Im assuming the weld can be mig'd and no need for testing?

I do like the 80's NZ Mitsi colours, but that green, not so much. But if you dig it thats all that matters.

Are you keeping the same green on the outside? If so, id keep the same colour on the outside in the engine bay.

This thing is going to look great no matter what colour it is

Yeah, Measure the outside diameter of the top and bottom coils. 

Might pay (if possible) to measure the spring length with no weight on it
