Adam's big small project

[lgnd3800]

hey guys,
as 95% of u know i stacked my car, and as levymetal said its turning out for the better,
ive decided to strip down my motor, freshen it up with some work and a nice small turbo, then transplant it into something small like maybe a gemini, ill keep you all posted with my progress,
ALL PICS WILL BE ADDED TO THIS POST












Says 0.63 for the rear housing

the v6 into a gemmy is not cheap i looked into it once and threw it in have fun though

[lgnd3800]

what would be another good idea ? cause i wanna put it in something small

[stocky]

turbo looks a bit small

[nicko]

have a look at v6conversions.com they will give you a price on a 3.8 into a gemini

[levymetal]

or a corolla, heaps seem to be doing that! getting it roadworthy might be the hardest part i guess, but if you have plenty of free time then anything's possible! subscribed

turbo looks a bit small

OMG IVE FOUND WHAT IM GONNA USE
1982 MITSUBISHI SIGMA WAGON 5 SP MANUAL - NO RESERVE - eBay, Passenger Vehicles, Cars, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 22-Mar-08 18:45:00 AEDST)
well not this exact one but a sigma none the less

[STEALTHY™]

No, use that one. I can just imagine the power to weight, and the look on V8 owners face when you blow there doors off (assuming your doors don't 'fall' off)

Adam, dont listen to him, a scorpion would be heaps cooler then a gemini lol.

Spoke to my sister she will take 300, gearbox is a bit sticky, wont matter to you if your putting the commodore box in anyway. And theirs some rust under the front windscreen, but other then that its a fairly straigh car, tinted windows, mags. Would look bloody sweet done up and a V6.
Ill attach some photos of what they look like, dont have photos of actual car.
Hes is red also so its goes faster

[lgnd3800]

nah mate, im going a gemini or sigma thanks anyway

[Tom_1569]

Scorpion is a sigma, it uses all the same running gear everything as the sigma, i think it even has a sigma badge, its just a coupe model. Im nearly 100% sure that you use the V6 conversions pack for the sigma and scorpion, i done a bit of research a while back about whacking a V6 in.

[lgnd3800]

mmm k, let me research it abit, is she in a hurry to sell it ???

[lgnd3800]

is it driveable ?

[Tom_1569]

Do some research see if its what you want, your more then welcome to view the car. I did abit of research and it looked like a sweet conversion.

She needs the car gone asap, because its sitting at her partners parents place. but in saying that its been sitting their for about a year.

[Tom_1569]

is it driveable ?

As far as I know its driveable, been awhile since iv seen it. The auto trans was a bit sticky. It would need a permit as its unregistered. We were speaking about it the other week and she did mention how it got stuck in one gear and wouldnt go to 3rd(im prosumming its a 3speed auto) but im not sure if that was a once off, or not ill have to check, thats only going to effect you if your driving it back, caus you would be putting the commodore box in right?

[lgnd3800]

yea aslong as i can get it back to dandy all would be sweet, and yea the gearbox and everything wont be in it long, could you ask her for some pics ???? that would be great
