Des Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) There was a 2.6 turbo sigma at the fast fours jambo last year, I think he was doin 12's till we spotted him changing axles. Would love to see this 70 in action with the boosted 2.6 Edited May 17, 2007 by AE70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Many years ago, there used to be a black Sigma GSR floating around Ballarat. Had $6000 in parts alone thrown at the motor and none of the v8 boys would touch it. One of the few cars Ive been in that would sink me into the seat in 3rd gear (including worked GT's, Brock commodores, monaros etc). I think it ended up wrapped around a tree at a hill climb :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 yea you would be able to take it to drift days, what will you do with the rear leaf suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathsminion Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Been out of this for a while. Thought I better update. Got the donor engine and box sorted. Rebuilding it currently. I've been spending more money on my Commodore recently, so the rolla has taken a seat on the sideline. That and I stacked my motorbike and broke both my hands/wrists and knee. I'll have pics soon. And Jarrad, we should catch up for sure. I heard you caught up with Dave? Black Supra/Tan KE70 sedan? Regarding the leaf suspension, I've been looking at options for that. A mate insists he can convert it to Commodore rear springs, whilst keeping the rolla diff. I doubt it, but it will be interesting to see. Edited August 4, 2007 by deathsminion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathsminion Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Five fractures in my right hand, one in my left. I've gotten very good at one handed typing. (I work in IT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I reckon if you're in IT you were already pretty good at one-handed typing.... *fap fap fap* hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathsminion Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm actually a manager for a major IT company.. I'm not one of the nerds. :o I had promised pics today, but I've only just gotten the wagon back. Stripped of 90% of the interior. For now I'm going to be running standardish suspension. Leaves flipped, and lowered (not cut) springs in the front. I'll address each chokepoint as we go along. Bought myself an engine crane, so the 4K will be coming out the next few nights.

deathsminion Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Ok, I took a mates Sigma GSR for a run on Saturday night. They're not bad runners stock, however I could see a lot of benefit in shorter diff gears. The standard Sigma gear ratios mean 5th gear @ 80km/h = chugging along at 1400rpm. So now I'm on the hunt for a KE70 auto diff. PM me if you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 A 2.0 litre sigma will do 120 in 2nd, Lots weird noises at those revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7shades Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 That would be the crankshaft attempting to exit the engine... via the sump plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathsminion Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) I'm off to go see another donor car in about half an hour. Fingers crossed the fun will start this weekend. Edit: Ok, I'm happy with the donor car. Now I just have to get rid of my VN Calais parts car before the weekend. It's an Astron 2, so the 2 litre factory turbo gear won't bolt up, however the multipoint injection will. What I have left to get: TR/S Magna injection setup GT28 or similar snail Turbo manifold. Fuel reg BOV Larger injectors And more I haven't thought of. Edited August 13, 2007 by deathsminion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathsminion Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sorry about the triple post, but has anyone ever fitted Commodore V8 calipers from a VN to a rolla before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
