The Sigma GTI-6

[Jtrigga]

So I bought this on 10th July, after much searching I found this on gumtree with only 69,000 had 2 owners. Went to see the old man who owned it had stacks of paper work had a new head rebuild back in 2003 he had driven it only 30,000 miles in 12 years but the cambelt hadnt been changed since it snapped so the 3 hour journey home i was very careful so as I got back had the belt tensioner and water pump changed straight away.

This is when i got to the girlfriends sat with my d-turbo (which sadly had to be sold after owning for 4 years)



Then i got on with changing the oil filter spark plugs and sorting out the annoying things like the washer motor and getting the fuel sender working



After a good after noon with the wax polish and clay bar this was the result





So the plan now is to carry on enjoying the car need to change the wishbones as the are knocking around and the tracking needs doing. The lowering engine mount will be replaced with a powerflex item and I need to make some engine chocks as the engine is moving around need to check if its snapped.

lower engine mount may sort the engine movement out!

and the tracking is probably out coz your lower arms are buggered!

but nice car!

That's a lovely looking example.

Yeah I think the bottom mount is alright just going to stiffen it up a bit yeah that probably doesn't help but it's had new track rods they probably wasn't set right.

always good to get the tracking done though if near suspension components go on...gives peace of mind and confidence

So had a strong smell of petrol when i parked up the other day opened the bonnet and the pipe that goes into the fuel rail had started to split removed the jubilees and was faced with this



Im not sure if the pipe is green as standard anyway I changed it for some fuel pipe I had laying round.

Next job is to sort out the top engine mount hoping the cup hasnt snapped.

Looks super tidy!
Gotta love a sigma ph1 definitely the best colour - and the fact that it's pretty much standard is even better.
Wish I could find an example like this!
