Hey guys

Pick at your collective brain if I may.

I have noticed with my car (Sigma Wagon) that there is a flat spot between 3,000 and (roughly) 4,200rpm.

It feels like as soon as it gets to 3,000 the rate of acceleration dies down and once it gets to (roughly) 4,200rpm its like vacuum secondaries open up and we're off again.

The setup is almost entirely stock. Only aftermarket bits used are exhaust manifold, fuel pump (Bosch 910) and the factory fpr has been moved to a different location.

Do we think that the issue im experiencing is fuel related?

Cheers

Yeah, standard N/A ECU

Hey guys

Probably more a question for Fuel.

Ive got a set of 450cc injectors from a VR4 and I got thinking, what would happen if I installed them on my Sigma (4G63 DOHC N/A). From what I gather N/A injectors are either 240cc or 275cc but haven't got a definite answer.

I have no supporting mods so I assume nothing but a whole heap of unburnt fuel would be the outcome.

Would it be worth trying? For shits and gigs atleast?

Cheers

Cool

Why did I think that SL/E only came out V8?

Sigma wagon shafts are slightly longer. One piece would be the go as I am unsure if the two piece would fit.

Can only assume its the crossmember.

Have you got a Lancer or Sigma crossmember to try?

Where is this magical place? Are they cool with visitors?

It seems I am very forgetful lately.

Its been about a month I know, but hopefully this might help out:

Thank you very much bro, sadly for me it doesn't have what im after. Much appreciated!

Dude, I still have the AC condenser from my old parts car for you. 

Swing by my place sometime and grab it. 

PM me if ya still want it. 

Shit, sorry Jono, forgot about that. Sweet man will pm you.

Thanks KK

Only if its no hassle.

At this stage all I want to know is if it has the A/C stuff still (in the engine bay) and what colour the centre console/armrest thingee is.

And maybe pricing

Hey guys

Just wondering if there was anyone that visits Foxton Wreckers often.

There was a post in the "Left to rot" post - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/26930-left-to-rot/page-45?hl=%2Bfoxton+%2Bwreckers#entry1212296 - made by Mitch.W

There was this Starion

Just wondering if this is still there and if so would someone be able to check a few things out for me.

Thanks

Damien

edit; what model is the sigma?

This is the important bit of info needed.

If its an NZ assembled Sigma sedan it will be fitted with the "8 bolt diff". Legend has it that the rear diff head from GT Liberos fit in the housing.

If its a Jap import then there are two (i think) different diffs - Solid axle 8 bolt and IRS.

If its a Sigma Station wagon there are also two different diffs depending on origin - NZ assembled = 10 bolt diff - Aussie assembled = Borg Warner

So who needs EX Lancer bits? We've just got a really good one in with a d notice, so you cant buy it whole, but man there's some mint parts!

Ill be seeing you tonight! Haha

Im running a 910 in my Sigma (N/A 4G63 DOHC)

I need to find a check valve as it takes a while to start first thing

Ive watched this deteriorate for the last 5 years 

Mine is slightly different to that. Probably not as long. Its probably the same AFM that's in your EX.

I just searched trademe and it popped up. Its a K&N jobbie

Yup sweet. Will have to be in the weekend when the suns out.

Ive got a manual pedal box in the Sigma wagon im wrecking. No idea if it will bolt in tho.

Had an OK day of skids.

Didnt manage to improve on my PB in this car. Same time.

Had a go on the skid pad. The 4G didnt like that!

Anyway, pics

Because im old, the lock diff is coming out.

Oh yeah, and it looks like its gonna be ok tomorrow.

Skids on

So this is what happens when you leave your rottweiler unattended in the garage and you forget to wind the windows up in your car.

Its a miracle the dog is still alive...

I was so angry because id never be able to find another wagon seat, especially in this colour.

Many months go by with me constantly searching the usual websites for parts till just recently I found the cream wagon on Turners damaged auctions. 

Long story short - I payed WAAAAAAY too much for a hideous back seat

TADAH!

Yeah thats the one. I linked that auction to my brother trying to get him to buy it back then. Didnt realise it was the same one till my brother pointed that out to me.

Yeah, thats my next mission. The guard gap pisses me off.

Ive got some spare struts now that I can hack up to make adjustable. 

So it seems that I attract rubbish Mitsubishis

Sadly (to me at least) im stripping this one.

The Sigma wagon market is pretty slim, but if anyone wants any parts let me know.

Cheers
