rb drifter Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 so i got this.... got my slave and took these out of it alot beter compared to standard sigma brakes. also starion shocks are shorter by 25mm at least, springs also are smaller. installed starion crap into wagon then it looked like this may not look alot lower but it definately is. sill sits alot more even now. back is a bit low, real bumpy on whangarei roads. mite find different springs that lift it about 10-15mm. mite also try the dobis in the front see if it goes a tad lower. also a new steering device and gear changing thingy work equips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb drifter Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 heart wheels welded up height difference from 323 springs to ke70 dobis wof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 got heart wheels back from getting redrilled, bit of issue for the fronts though, 14x8 with negative offset, thinking about getting centres cut out and re welded to change offset. although these do fit mint on my sigma sedan as it runs s13 silvia front suspension. back fit mint just have to run stretch tires. didnt really think a 14x10 would fit to be honest also scored me a one piece driveshaft finally so no more kronic vibrations!!!! fucking gay 2 piece shit. in other shit news, some lowlife douchebag stole my stereo, stereo suround trim and garage door opener. so if i find the theifing prick........ anyone got a wagon centre consol for deals by anychance? sedan ones and starion ones dont fit. ive already tried.

rb drifter Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 discovered it leaks oil and maybe fuel too, will add to the "to do" list along with everything else. in good news i fixed the ride height even more. used starion front shocks/brakes etc, bmw e30 superlow kingsprings minus 1 coil for the front and 1/2 a bumpstop. for the rear it has ke70 dobi springs minus 1 coil. needs shorter rear shocks to make them captive front crossmember is 85-90mm off the ground, needs to be lower i reckons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 purchased new waterpump, cambelt, valve seals/headgasket set, fuel pump, fuel filter, oil filter as valve seals need doing and i have no idea when everything else was last done so may aswell do everything at once and get the motor mint! i will get new rings aswell after talking with MACKAZ it seems best to do them too while motor will be apart. i want to acumulate all the parts i need before pulling motor apart as i use this for cruising on weekends. pic just because.......

rb drifter Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 update time with details off what litle work i really do..... so wheels are 14x8s front, 14x9.5 rear. got them off MACKAZ for a sweet price, had the old 5 stud holes welded up and redrilled by Shane Eady to 4x114.3, they all came out mint. fronts were a crazy negative offset so had Tony Henwood cut the centres out and shift them 35mm and reweld them. then sandblasted, primered, and painted gloss white took them to MACKAZ and he hooked me up with new tires for a really sweet price. fronts are 185/55r14, rears are 185/60r14 rears still clean gaurds without rub which is sweet..... cops still dont aprove of my car, was let off with another "warning" im stoked with how it looks now, but its time to rebuild the motor as its starting to smoke really bad if anyone has some extractors or twin carbs for deals i would be keen to give this more grunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So I now have this. Cruised up to grab it this morning from rbdrifter. Cheers for everything bro. On the way back home. Group shot Plans at the moment are to raid good bits for my wagon. Then I might try and get it back on the road. Its a bit of piece of mind to have a spare car in case things go bad for my daily.

OSM Garage Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Been mucking around with this car lately. Decided to get it back on the road. Its pink sticker'd at the moment, for small stuff - Tinted park and tail lights, bald front tyre, no spare tyre. rbdrifter sorted the tail lights out. I brought some better front park lights. Had my original 2L SOHC still from my wagon so was a no brainer to slam that in this wagon. When I got this wagon it had EX Lancer struts and other bits. Swapped everything for Sigma gear. Engine and box in Had a little rust which actually turned out to be a lot of rust in the corner of the engine bay. Cut it all out and put metal in place. Not pretty but functional Still a few bits to do. Should hopefully have it road legal by next month maybe. Actually need to get this going as my wagon needs urgent attention. Obligatory group shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSM Garage Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 So, tomorrow is WOF/Pink sticker removal day (hopefully) Managed to find another Sigma wagon that I raided parts off that this was missing Hope it passes because my DOHC wagon is toast.

OSM Garage Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well it failed which I expected it to. Exhaust leaks L/F chassis rail damaged R/R seat belt Remedy handbrake I knew about the chassis rail damage and hoped they wouldnt see/knock it. When I saw them looking at it thoroughly I thought 'shit'. The guy talked to me about the damage and said the rail is separating and to close the gap and weld it. I asked if I could do it myself and he said sure. FUCKING STOKED! Was under the impression chassis damage needs to be done by a panel beater So I will have this legal next weekend. Time to enjoy this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
