OSM Garage

That was the first thing i had done after that pic. Attacked the whole engine bay with the air gun!!!

I LOVE MIG WELDERS!

UPDATE TIME!

Been a while since I updated this thing. Done quite a bit of work on it over the weeks.

Got the disc rear diff in and decided to see if the Sigma wagon axles fit in the GSR Diff.................PERFECT MATCH!

Was a bitch to get the axle out!

Brought myself a Chrismas prezzy. Autometer Pro-Comp gauges!!!

I dont plan on using the Fuel pressure gauge, so its up for sale. The boost gauge had leaked the fluid that was inside, so i drained the Fuel gauge, and poured it in the boost gauge.

Heres where I plan on mounting the gauges

Got out the ol die grinder and started hacking at the dash. Was hesitant in doin it, but theres no turning back now!

Here it is in place

Took a coupla pics with no springs in the back. Dont know why

Tried to swap a 200kph speedo out of a 1600 lancer into my 1200 das cluster. But didnt work

Fitted the GSR steering box and didnt look right. Put side by side against the 1200 box and noticed the arm of the GSR is bent bad. Will have to swap this over

Brought myself yet another present!!! Best present ever!!!

Brought it with gasless wire in it. Couldnt get the hang of it. Then got a bottle from boc and some solid wire, and HOLY SHITBALLS its the SHIT!!! Fully recommend Gas. Throw the gasless shit AWAY!

So, with the new toy, ive done my welding in the engine bay.

Blocked of heater hole

Oil cooler mount

Intercooler mounts

Coil mount, fuel filter mount and new heater hole made

ENGINE IN TIME!

Spent today bolting the turbo on, inlet manifold and engine plugs in. Anything i could bolt up, i did. This is how its looking like now

Still a bit of work to do but its getting close to skid day!!!

Especially a brand new one!

It is a autometer boost gauge. Smells like ass!

Bro, check out this link viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7862

The INS & OUTS of the conversion.

HOLY SHITBALLS those rims are the shit!

Ill help ya if you give me those wheels!

OUCH! So $88 is a deal huh?

+1,000,000!

Keeps them guessing at the lights!

Anyone know?

Its some sort of silicony oil stuff. Anyone know for sure what it is? Can it be purchased over the counter?

My gauge has leaked, and i got quoted $88 to get it filled again. Thought that was abit extreme. But mite be the only way, unless someone can help me???????

I'd definatly would go for a ride in it!!!

+1 for N/A 20B. They sound unique when the sing the song of 8000rpm+

-1 for the wheels. Centrelines mite look good.

Anyway, mean engineering, mean workmanship. Interested on how it turns out!

Do the L200 gboxes use a fatter input shaft then other boxes?

hah well I didn't think it was you cause none of the posts on MMC I saw were written like "this" etc

Funny Cunt!

Dude, get this thing GOING! Tiz gonna be SWEET!

The sigma and L200 are basicly the same. 23 spline as KE said. I think the 1600 sigmas use the same boxes.

Lancer boxes I know for sure are different. There is a physical difference between Lancer and Sigma/L200 boxes. Sigma/L200 are MUCH bigger

Hmmm. The different spline sizes is a dead give away that its not a L200 gbox. BASTARDS! Any good clutch shop should be able to sort out a clutch plate to suit you.

Dont know if you can make anything out of these pics but these are Sigma/L200 gboxes

Another pic that may not help. These are the thrust bearing arm pushie outie thingies. Top one is Sigma/L200 which measures at 215mm whereas the bottom one, Lancer, measures at 195mm.

Hope that helps. (And makes sense!)

The starion strut idea seems to be a good idea. For some reason, there are some starion parts floatn around whereas theres fuck all EX 1800 GSR stuff. Which sucks!!!

Did you see the EX Lancer on trademe with the evo motor in it? Hes put Evo rotors and GTO calipers on. Wonder if its a simple conversion. Would that suit or are you running a small diameter rim?

m confused, so a vr4 block is ? narrow block?

Yeah, as Fuel stated, east west 4G63's are narrow block. So your FWD Turbo sigma's, VR4's and Evhoes are narrowblock

Do you know what the purpose or reason behind the wideblocks?

Ahhh, I had my eyes on that car!

A good way to check if it is indeed a turbo block, is if its got oil squirters at the bottom of the bores.

Id be keen for a bull run from 1 end of great south road to the other. Thats all my car could do

Now that you mention it, getting impaled by it would suck ass!

They're so badass tho. If you had one on, you'd have to drive slow so you dont get into high speed crashes.

Charger to cart the boys around, RX3 to cart the girls around!

Tuff choice, but i think id go rotor. But a 440 would be choice!

SHIT! Sold for $2580!

Well done!

Ive been told they are illegal as well. But they scream BADASS!!!

Mite not be the best when things get a bit hairy and you have to react quickly. Fingers get stuck in the chain links, or slippery coz of the chrome.

With a 185/60/14 beside a 195/50/15, I wouldnt think there would be much different in size at all. The 50 profile would accommadate for the bigger rim. Have you put them side by side?

Id stick the 15" wheels on the front and the 14"s on the back so it looks like you got burnout bickies on. Not to popular with the cops tho.
