rb drifter

finally got my wheels they are sportmaxx 15x8 with 0 offset in full mattblack, at first i wasnt sure about full matt black but once i seen them in person i had to have them. started puting motor back together but now need a new oil filter housing as i cracked the origanil one. only other thing i have done to the car is tint strip on front windscreen and tinted front windows. was going to start work on suspension but moving house so need to keep it rolling for now. will upload pics soon.

just wanted to know if there are many other OS members in the whangarei or far north area? if there are quite a few would be cool to check out others projects or just have a piss up post if you are one well im from maungatapere bowt 13km west of whangas anyways

if its the same wags im thinking of i knew the dude who owned it, its gone now anyway hes rolling in a holden gemini on chromies now haha

time for an update..... has been moved into shed finaly so time to get to work on it over winter while i loose my licence. havent done alot so far, clutch pedal installed. standard sohc carby 4g63 has been removed. have started to rebuild my sohc turbo 4g63t 8v starion motor, still trying to sort out a gearbox for it. decided i want to run adjusties allround in the suspension, for the rear i will make brackets to mount eg civic rear adjusties. for the front i will buy adjustable coilover sleeves that will be welded to origanil struts, but want to get wheels/tires first so i get it sitting at the right height. have started saving up for the wheels/tires and coilover sleeves so hopefully will have them within the next month and will update again....

pics finally....

been a while but time for an update, so far, rear springs been cut all the auto shit been taken out stereo been fitted pod filter and mini breather filter fitted and thats about it so far still need to line clutch up so that gearbox will fit.

Project thread > viewtopic.php?f=17&t=26284 let me know what you think of it, it wont be built in any rush at all as im real poor..... have already encountered a bit of a problem. the manual box from my other sigma doesnt fit onto the sohc turbo block as it is a wideblock and has bigger flywheel. so need a bit of knowledge, will a 2.6 astron box fit onto the turbo motor? otherwise what are my options?

Discussion thread > viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26285 1983 mitsubishi sigma se picked it up for $650 with wof and rego and was just down the road. its a 2litre auto fully nana spec fairly tidy, just a litle bit of rust in doors that needs doing. thought it would be better to spend money on this puting my turbo setup in this than fuck around fixing the other one. plans are, turbo engine, manual box, slammed, dished 15s, new exhaust and general tidy up. pics to come

has turned into a dedicated skid car now prety much. fixed fuel pump and vice gripped brakes, hit 4th gear stand still and popped a tyre! i couldnt beleive it myself. my mate didnt bother to video it though.... cunt. got a new sigma now so the blue one will probly get sold as a rolling body if anyone keen?

left gaurd still hasnt arrived....... did some skids at my mates cattle yards, but were shit as wouldnt even hold 2nd gear. probly cause had leaking fuel pump and has a 1.6l carb on a 2l motor so thought i could work on little bits that need doing, swapped ignition barrel, door and boot locks over from the gold sigma as the blue one just had a house key jammed in the ignition when i got it. replaced fuel pump on the carby motor in it as it was leaking. in the process of finding out why the brake lights are stuck on? broken sensor at pedal?. mum gave me the hard word and said the gold sigma has to go so will be keeping doors, boot, bumper, windows, manual parts and taking rolling shell to scrap. anyone in whagarei area got a trailor i can borrow for box of piss say?

sweet that its on 16th cause dargaville burnout comp is 12th aparantly so will be a choice week!

hey mate out of interest would you still have the old loom complete with airflow etc? if so wana sell it?

if my sigma running alrite by the feb meet ill be keen to hike it down ill hit up some the boys see if they wana come too just out of interst is there many cops hanging around cause my car hasnt had a wof for a bout 3years and dont think itll be passing one yet.

sussed me a left gaurd and two front indaicators off trademe and should be being posted soon so will be stoked to get it looking half decent on the outside anyway, just need a lick of paint and lowering springs (probly cuts) to make it OG!

thats phat! there was a primmer grey sigma sacked az down waipu ways sitting outside a house for ages so im gunna go see if it still there when i get back home and hit them up about it. used to be a few sigmas in whangas but they all getting writen off or scrap metaled i think.

unfortunatley this does have rough tints, fucked paint, 17s and i am a bogan but oh well lets see how it turns out... i do like the koing rewinds i also seen some 15x8 0 offset sportmax wheels on trademe and reckon they would be sick if they fit. i should be able to fit 8" wide rears maybe even 9" wide with the right offset as the 17s are 7" wide and theres plenty more room.

let me know what you think of my project, any ideas to what i should do. ive been woundering wether i should keep the 17s on it or go to a smaller wheel like 14s or 15s but get them about 8" wide maybe? i do have some standard star shape wheels for it which could be widened like what kevinator has done with his sigma wagon? if you have any parts i need or if you want parts off my parts car let me know.... viewtopic.php?f=17&t=25731

few more pics: (has no springs in pics so sits damn low) parts car

ive had this car for a while and havent done alot to it so far but do have big plans for it. i found it on trademe and aparantly all it needed was a new bonnet and gaurd so i thought it was an absolute steal. so did a bit of an impulse buy and kinda stung me in the ass! it had a fair bit of damage underneath the gaurd and had been panel beated by an amature so all the metal was F*#cked. but thankfully i have another sigma that i wrote off into a bridge but the panel work i needed was still in goodish condition apart from the left gaurd. went to go swap the bonnets over and found that the bonnet had flown off in the wind and was absolutely bent. gutted! so luck isn't exactly on my side at the moment. i picked up a 2litre turbo starion motor off a mate that had it in his ex lancer. he rekons it smokes up 3rd gear peice off piss so that put a smile on my dile. also got two advanti 17s on the front and two other ugly 17s on the back, has 25mm spacers to fit front rims sit fairly flush with the gaurds now so looks mint! when i got it had no springs and wouldnt even get in my drive so have now got standys in it. sits ridiculously high. maybe get them compressed? not to sure at the moment. discussion thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=25736
