3 mates picked up a genuine 1 lady owner GH Sigma complete with carbie fed, 5 speed, 2.6 Astron. The original owner lost her licence in 1999, then it sat in a shed for 11 years before the guys got a hold of it. The plan is to slowly turn it into a Rally / Khanacross car. The guys share the drives at events, as most of them allow up to 4 drivers per car. With 3 drivers, the old Mitsubishi gets to go around the tracks 3 times more than the other cars! The guys are located in Adelaide, South Oz and can be spotted at various events.
Initially the mods done to the car were:
Removed air-con completely
New filters, etc and fluids
Stripped interior (was mint as sorry peeps, even had the luxury reclining rear seat)
Removed sound deadening
Installed SAAS seat
Sump guard
New rear brake cylinders (one was weeping)
15" rims and rally tyres (Pirelli P-Zeros 195's)
Pumped guards slightly (running 10mm spacers on front to clear struts with bigger rims and wheels)
Fitted rear tow point
Paint job and stickered up
Mods done in May:
Harness bar welded in.
Harness installed.
Diff locked (nice work Marky at Exhaust Technology).
Cold air induction and Pod filter installed.
Bonnet scoop on
Fan removed from alternator (every little bit helps!)
Engine fan removed.
Thermo fan fitted and wired up
Battery mounted inside over the axle.
Sandpaper glued on the pedals.
Rear Wing of love installed.
The guys also rebuilt a carby to fit shortly (also removed choke and made the acceleration lobe more aggressive with a bit of grinding - comes on full throttle earlier - in theory)
and also got a nice shiny alloy checker plate drivers floor to fit.
Mods planned:
Roll cage (half at first / full eventually if it lives long enough!)
LSD if we can find one (any ideas peoples?) or lock the diff (CIG)
Remove engine fan and install thermo fan
Harness
2nd seat for Navi plus 2nd harness
Rear spoiler
Possible efi setup off a magna (including head)
Possible turbo it?
Remove harmonic balancer from engine?
Suspension - maybe front struts from a crummydore? maybe heavier oil in the factory ones?
Spotlights for day / night events
Roof vents
Intercom and terratrip
Heavy duty clutch when we kill this one
Possible rear disk brake setup
Braided lines

Update 30/09/2011
The guys have been busy! More mods to the car including guages and new carbies. At a recent event the car encountered a small mechnical issue so in the meantime, the Stigma guys procured a replacment Magna wagon! Here are some pics/vids of what they have been up to. The photos are from MWP Sports Photography so refer to their email address in the pics for more information.
