Mitsubishi Sigma 1993

[ripe turret]

Freshly bought rust free Sigma that needs some love to make it car show worthy.
Some broken interior pieces that are common to break, dirty engine bay, some electronics not working.

[ripe turret]

Will be making it car show worthy or at least try

[tawny laurel]

I love this car not only Design wise but also the name 😭😭🙏🙏

[ripe turret]

A real sigma knows ball

[tawny laurel]

I was close on getting one before i opted our

[pliant folio]

GG @tawny laurel, you just advanced to level 4! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[tawny laurel]

out*

[ripe turret]

A sedan with a wagon front bumper it is

[tawny laurel]

so i love seeing it being Restored here

or "worked" on

[ripe turret]

Guy I bought it from has a better version of one

Also he has a lowered galant with a huge spoiler as a daily

That guy is just nuts when it comes to his cars

He also let me know about every minor defect and common issues with mitsubishi

[tawny laurel]

You made a awesome deal on that one

[ripe turret]

Yep got it for cheap considering how well kept it is

Like it's free of rust

Has some stuff to get to be perfect like some paint that on it, broken windshield AC blower plastic (common issue with those), missing boot cover

[tacit summit]

its quite a clean car

[ripe turret]

For how old it is it sure is clean, but still need to clean it some more and fix some smaller stuff

[tacit summit]

id imagine you would have to do similar maintainence for almost any older car

[ripe turret]

Well yeah, it's really well kept tho

[ripe turret]

Will know in like 3 weeks what state the engine is in tho as on the test drive (around 30 miles) it was driving really good so hopefully nothing bad going on just that leaking timing belt sealants or whatever it's called

Bought for 2.5k already put in 1.5k for lorry and parts

Hope I can get it running smooth soon and then save some cash to mint it up before it's (and mine) first car show

[tacit summit]

4k for a show car sounds good

[main vector]

what the sigma

[ripe turret]

Will be mostly stock car shows (classic car shows) or slightly modded (small bodykits, slightly lowered etc.)

Plan to make it some sideskirts from scratch or try to fit some from another car to make it flush with front bumper height

Same with the rear bumper

[ripe turret]

Very big sigma

Kinda tuff ngl

[main vector]

looks cool tho

[ripe turret]

Cars of the guy I bought it from

From left to right
Sigma (mine)
Galant (his daily) big spoiler, lowered, bodykit?
Sigma (better option than mine and in a better condition overall)
E34 on AC Schnitzer wheels (his friend's brother's that died to cancer last year, he wanted it to be on his funeral looking good, he made it come true, won't ever sell it)

Can't wait till Saturday to work on it

[ripe turret]

While watching Nightride I got inspired and will most likely paint the underside of my hood similar to this or just a big ass mitsubishi logo

[main vector]

What the sigma

Actually If i would be drunk the Sigma Looks a little like an e24

[ripe turret]

Ppl keep asking if it's a galant or a 7 series

[main vector]

Fr

[ripe turret]

But like It'd look good wouldn't it?

[main vector]

ye

[winged summit]

This is so sigma

[ripe turret]

Ts is so sigma and tuff

[winged summit]

No

It’s sigma

[ripe turret]

It is a sigma that's tuff

[main vector]

holy brainrot

[ripe turret]

Man I'm 19

Just trying to get through work

[winged summit]

Unc

a whole year older then me

[ripe turret]

Fuck you mean unc

[winged summit]

elder

[ripe turret]

Am I really that ancient?

My cars are older than me

[winged summit]

Yes

[main vector]

im 18 and my cars are 35 and 33

holy sigma

[ripe turret]

My cars are 22 and 32

[winged summit]

my car is 0

or 1

[ripe turret]

Well what can I say I like older girls and cars

[main vector]

im about to buy an mr2

waiting on money from my insurance tho

[winged summit]

No you’re not lol

I won’t let you

[main vector]

[ripe turret]

Good choice man

[main vector]

managed to talk him down to 6.2k haha

[winged summit]

cheap

Buy if

it

[main vector]

im about to

[ripe turret]

I need to build a 3rd garage that'll actually fit a scissor lift

[main vector]

need money from my insurance

they are taking a while

[ripe turret]

It's kinda normal that they're taking a while but what happened man?

[winged summit]

a semi truck rear ending him while he was riding a bicycle

[ripe turret]

Oh damn

[main vector]

they totalled my civic

bike hit me

its repairable but its an auto so eh i wont bother

[ripe turret]

Well it's a civic

[main vector]

yes but i dont have space for a donor to swap

so meh, ill get rid of it and get the mr2

[ripe turret]

If it wasn't VTEC I wouldn't bother as well

[main vector]

i wanted to swap

[ripe turret]

Ej1?

[main vector]

ej6

[ripe turret]

EJs look so good tho

[main vector]

fr

[ripe turret]

Wanted to buy an ej1 but it's a honda at the end of the day

[main vector]

hondas are cool

they just need the right engine

b series any day

[ripe turret]

They are but rust like nothing else

[main vector]

mine was rustfree

or is atleast

it got taken care of

[ripe turret]

Damn then that would be worth saving

[main vector]

still an auto

[ripe turret]

Oh

U meant auto as transmission

[main vector]

i dont want to go trough the hassle of manual swapping

yes

feels so gay driving it lol

it would be cool asf as a manual

[ripe turret]

You'd need to do a full engine and transmission swap

Which is a huge hassle

[main vector]

not engine

but a donor ej6

and i got no space

haha

and i got no lift

wich would be good for that

[ripe turret]

Yeah

Just sell it crashed maybe someone would buy it as a project base

[main vector]

the previous owner wants it

he gave it to me for free, its a buddy of mine

[ripe turret]

Oh

[main vector]

now im giving him the car also for free

but he is giving me 700 for the spoiler and exhaust

[ripe turret]

Oh yeah I'd need to get a better exhaust for my sigma as well

[main vector]

thats how i got it

[ripe turret]

To make that V6 sound better

[ripe turret]

They took my fucking eyes

[ripe turret]

Someone mistook right front blinker connector with something else and it didn't work

Took me some time to find that correct connector

[ripe turret]

Some other stuff I found out

Most of the lights didn't work or didn't have a lightbulb

They work now

Hood was painted and someone did a bad job as the hood has orange peel and literally drops of paints or oil from the paint gun

Tachometer doesn't work idk why it gets data from the coil pack idk how to check if it works (ordered a whole new cluster for 25$)

Front speakers didn't work cuz they weren't there

Ordered JBL stage1 52f

[winged summit]

Sigma car

[ripe turret]

Oh and I messaged a guy that has parts for it and turns out it's the previous owner that had it before the guy I bought it from

[main vector]

what the sigma

[ripe turret]

It's kinda wild how a random guy you message recognises the car by just this photo

[winged summit]

I love the sigma car

[brazen flint]

Probably saw the cracked vent piece

[winged summit]

Sigma car on top

[ripe turret]

Cracked vent, white paint, sedan, poorly wrapped windshield wipers

And on a rare car

Easy to recognise but it's wild how a random guy that has parts is a previous owner

[tawny laurel]

282k you sure? We all know Mileage isnt everything , but especially on Sport Cars itd be careful

Itd need to be maintained really well imo

and considering you get good maintained ones for 10kish with 100-150k km less, itd throttle the price a bit more down tbh

[ripe turret]

It all depends on how well kept it is and maintained

[tawny laurel]

if its well done / pieces replaced itd go for it nonetheless

[tawny laurel]

yeah no not denying that

like i said, Miles aint always a deal breaker

[ripe turret]

500k highway miles >>>> 200k city miles

[main vector]

dude its a toyota

280k is nothing

[ripe turret]

Depends how it was driven

[main vector]

yup

and its 280k kilometers not miles haha

thats fine

[ripe turret]

Of it was driven for what it was made (fast) then no problem

[tawny laurel]

thats why i said especially on sport cars itd be careful

[tawny laurel]

when i speak english i refer to miles

lmao

[ripe turret]

Btw miho in English itd is etc

[main vector]

to be honest an mr2 is a sports car yes but the engine is made to last, probs one of the most reliable sports cars ever made

lol

[tawny laurel]

its made to last but many owners just fucking abuse that thing too

[main vector]

fair

[tawny laurel]

thats the point i try to make

[main vector]

i get it ye

[tawny laurel]

and Mr2 is not the toyota engine you see on dailies where YOU CAN abuse it

mr2 is still a bit more fragile

[ripe turret]

I abuse my fiesta on a daily basis

[main vector]

actually it kinda is

its not the turbo

[ripe turret]

Cuz 1.4 TDCi is bulletproof

[main vector]

its the regular 3s ge wich was on the camry i believe aswell and celica

[ripe turret]

Same as my mitsubishi with that 6g72 engine

[main vector]

altezza nvm

[tawny laurel]

yes but you dont see that in sports cars, right? Not deep into the fiesta story trivia
if i wanted i can also abuse my mothers corolla , and itd still last, thats not really the point here though

[tawny laurel]

milage also plays down to transmission

[ripe turret]

Yep

[main vector]

ye as said ill have to see in person, if it got taken care of then its fine

[main vector]

trans is also fine he did flush it a while back

[tawny laurel]

def let yourself show them papers, but i think you know what ur doing so i dont wanna act as if im smarter

[main vector]

and for all the worn down rubber bushings ill replace with polyurethane anyways

[ripe turret]

As long as healthy body and smoothly working engine then it's a steal

[main vector]

yup

it does have abit of rust but its not like dead dead yet

[ripe turret]

If it's not a sieve then it's fine

[main vector]

not that bad

[tawny laurel]

thats nothing

[main vector]

able to sand it down and properly fix it

so good stuff

ill do all the small parts on it and then wrap it

will look fire

in midnight purple

[ripe turret]

That's fine

[main vector]

but man with the big spoiler and a lip mr2s can look sooo stupidly good

[ripe turret]

Yep

Don't forget the lazy eyes (or is it stock pop-ups)

[main vector]

its lazy eyes

dont know yet if i like that but ill probs make a setting so it has both

[ripe turret]

Lazy eyes look so good on sportier bodies

[main vector]

fr

[ripe turret]

Sad that Mitsubishi sigma is so forgotten in the car community

Almost no mods for it

[main vector]

it really is kinda sigma

if you turn up in it your a sigma swell

[ripe turret]

Sigma in a sigma

[main vector]

fr

[ripe turret]

It's either a homo relationship or a guy in a mitsubishi sigma

[main vector]

lmfao

[ripe turret]

3 packages arrive today

Speakers for the front, new cluster, and brake pads as the old ones are close to bare metal

[main vector]

https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/toyota-mr2-sw20-tuev-neu-/3226994653-216-18634

there is another mr

but its rusty from underneeth

and i doubt ill be able to talk hin dow nanywhere near 6k

[ripe turret]

The rust ain't that bad

[main vector]

im really a sucker for rust

[tawny laurel]

get ur homies to give him 4k offers, and sweep in with ur 6k 😎

[main vector]

i do everything myself exept bodywork because i dont want it rusting for shit

and for that ill have to let it be done profesionally i recon

[main vector]

lmao true

[ripe turret]

Just find a not rusty even not running one then

Cheaper to rebuild the engine anew than to do bodywork professionally

https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bsj6ce9yY/

Here's one in poland

For close to 6k

Drives and works fine but guy doesn't have time to finish it

[main vector]

problem is it needs passed tüv so i can have it registered and parked on the street every now and then because my garage is taken sometimes

[ripe turret]

Oh

[main vector]

yup

and if im honest the first one i managed to talk down to 6.2k seems better to me

the black one was standing for 8 years before it got revived

[ripe turret]

Just get one and start working you'll find small defects anyway on any car once you start working on it

[main vector]

yup

[ripe turret]

Like on that Mitsubishi I found so many imperfections on the paint that I'm thinking what to do

Either sand paper till smooth, paint, clear coat, polish or sand paper till smooth, clear coat, wrap

[main vector]

wrap sounds good

[ripe turret]

Ye my brother-in-law works in a shop that specialises in wraps

They wrap police cars etc. They wrapped some cars for polish YouTubers as well

[main vector]

oh thats good

[ripe turret]

And my childhood friend wraps cars with his dad as a side hustle so I'd rather go to them

[ripe turret]

It had K&N air filter

[winged summit]

Sigma car moment

[ripe turret]

A good sign ngl

[winged summit]

Yes

Another w for the sigma car

[main vector]

what the sigma

[ripe turret]

Well that's about all the photos I have of it

[winged summit]

Another common W for the sigma car

[ripe turret]

Anyway I oiled up the filter (put too much on it so the excess is just getting out onto paper towels)

[main vector]

what the sigma

[ripe turret]

Rear brakes that are responsible only for the handbrake

[tawny laurel]

you planning to replace them?

or change the function so they will also "function"

[ripe turret]

Well ye but later as I can't get them today

[tawny laurel]

as brakes

Im currently getting the parts needed to swap my drums to Discs

[ripe turret]

Rear brakes are "hybrid" because drum brakes are better for the handbrake

[ripe turret]

Alternator gave up after I returned home from a D&D weekend (almost 1k miles)

Currently sitting next to my garage and waiting for new one

[winged summit]

Not a W from the sigma car

[ripe turret]

At least broke at home

[tawny laurel]

atleast it didnt strand you

[quartz crow]

so cut the springs
or just remove em

[main vector]

ye

gokart

[quartz crow]

that's what we do to our volvos in sweden

cuz coilovers wont fit without cutting and welding lol

[ripe turret]

It's not a shitbox

[pliant folio]

GG @ripe turret, you just advanced to level 19! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[ripe turret]

[quartz crow]

there gotta be lowering springs tho
or some other springs that could fit

[ripe turret]

Only springs available are in Japan

[quartz crow]

sounds cheap

oo ur in poland

[ripe turret]

But Volvo S40 rear suspension looks like it fits and front seems to fit from V40 Volvo or smth

[quartz crow]

oo

well its more or less a mitshubish

[tawny laurel]

Pure brainrot section

[main vector]

no its alpha sigma

[quartz crow]

sigma car

[ripe turret]

Clutch isn't clutching anymore

Wasn't the alternator but the clutch

Now do I DIY it in my driveway (Winter, no experience) or tow it to the shop for a clutch change

[winged summit]

Noooo the sigma car is in trouble

[quartz crow]

welp
if there's parts for it, a shop shouldn't charge too much for it
It should be a fairly easy job for them if it's a traditional rwd car

You can do it yourself but without a lift and transmission jack, it can be hell
and all the things inside there gotta be tourqed right and so on and so on
Replace the rear engine seal while your at it

[ripe turret]

it's fwd

a shop nearby said that if everything goes well they'll charge like 200-250$

[quartz crow]

that's not bad at all

i was expecting 400-500

[ripe turret]

it's around the same as all the parts for the change

can't find the clutch mounting screws tho

[quartz crow]

meh reuse the old ones and cross ur fingers

[ripe turret]

idk if the screws are the same as any other or some specific shit

[quartz crow]

leave that to the mechanic shop tbh

should be some sort of standard thread and size

[ripe turret]

from all i could find there's just one screw like that

so a 10mm (most likely) bolt that's like 15mm long

[quartz crow]

you dont need specific mitsubishi bolts tho

as long as it isnt some special stretch bolt

[ripe turret]

I mean that's the photo of the OEM part

[quartz crow]

oh alright

as long as its standard thread, finding those shouldnt be hard

oooh its only partly threaded

idk if that matters

[ripe turret]

it's a clutch cover mounting bolt from what i understand

[quartz crow]

alright

sigma boy and sigma car

[ripe turret]

[ripe turret]

Got the battery out to swap with my daily and while at it decided to clean a bit and found some rust which signals that whole engine bay needs to be stripped and repainted

[dire sleet]

[ripe turret]

Man now you reminded me that I haven't had ravioli even once or I just forgot about that

Pls follow me

I need more follower

[winged summit]

Why the fuck would you post that in the sigma sigma car channel

[modern swan]

???

[winged summit]

Why would you advertise yourself

In the sigma sigma car channel

[modern swan]

Sorry

[ripe turret]

So yeah cleaned it and wheels actually look decent now

Also some surface rust that started appearing that'll be fixed when spring comes around

[thin tundra]

Revving it while the engine is still making white smoke because it's cold damages it due to lack of lubrication.

[main vector]

its a sigma car

he doesnt care

[thin tundra]

Seriously

[main vector]

yes

[thin tundra]

lol

[main vector]

he isnt even revving that high + its not while driving so its fine

[thin tundra]

okay I'll just stop pestering you but I will say that is way above 2,000 RPM

[main vector]

meh not throwing it into redline so its fine

[ripe turret]

it's cold

[winged summit]

Sigma car doesn’t bother itself with anything

[ripe turret]

It was after a long drive so the engine was already warm AF and it makes that white smoke every time I rev it when it cold cus of basic combustion byproduct called water vapor

[thin tundra]

Good to know.

[ripe turret]

Quick update.
Managed to identify my wheels, they're Wolfrace Asia-Tec Kendo Silver

[main vector]

Pretty sigma wheels

[ripe turret]

Wheels are sigma but what isn't sigma is how fast wheel arches gained colour

[main vector]

Ohhh

Might be sigma rust coz it is that fast

[thin tundra]

In all seriousness, it is almost objectively because you live in a snowy area that salts their roads.

[ripe turret]

Yeah this winter was really bad snow wise

Well snow is still here that fell down in November/December

Anyway I took yesterday the Sigma for a quick drive to get some headlight bulbs for my daily and talked 20 minutes with the guy that has a parts shop locally about the sigma and cars in general

He couldn't believe that springs are so hard to find

[quartz crow]

sigma car

[main vector]

holy smegma

[ripe turret]

Took just two photos after a trip for some parts from a US diamante (part out car), and I got quite a deal on them.
Got:

• front bumper (sedan version)
• headlights (spares or SMTH idk)
• one taillight as the other was broken
• one front indicator as the other was from some other spec and in bad shape
• interior door cart lights (greyish plastic covers that'll look nicer than my clear and red ones)
• a windshield vent plastic (mine is broken in a few places)
  And I think that's all the important parts I got for 95$ + 80$ in fuel for the road trip + 20$ food and red bull for me and my friend

Was a really nice drive as the weather was really good

[winged summit]

Sigma sigma car sigma car sigma car

[devout stirrup]

dang bro, looking good!

[ripe turret]

I feel like my phone can't capture how good it looks at night

[ripe turret]

Will look better when I clean, paint match and replace bumper and mirror covers

[devout stirrup]

im excited to see the final result

[ripe turret]

Will be ordering new coilovers probably in a few days but need to be more sure about how they'll fit

[main vector]

holy smegma

ayri

[ripe turret]

I just bought this used radio for $70 which I think is a good deal (new goes for over $200)

[winged summit]

Sigma

[ripe turret]

D2 Racing coilovers for 3000 GT ordered

Will check if they fit and if they do it'll be very nice

[main vector]

oh nice

very sigma

[ripe turret]

the coutout didn't do a good job tbh

[winged summit]

Oh my god sigma sigma car

[ripe turret]

Sigma got down

[pliant folio]

GG @crimson cosmos, you just advanced to level 1! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[ripe turret]

Hope he fixes it soon

Or she

Idk

@crimson cosmos those are the pieces

[ripe turret]

Okay, the coilovers are finished, alignment done, brakes bleed. Now the car finally handles perfectly cornering is smooth and it doesn't want to spin out when clutch dumping

Now just:

• engine mounts
• AC and whole heating/AC system check as it likes to get stuck
• surface rust repairs
• paint corrections or a whole car respray
• change the bumper (maybe)
• wrap the interior trim in suede instead of the fake carbon that's on it rn
• change orange/yellow interior backlights to soft white to match the radio and freshen up the interior
• clean it inside
• and that's it until I have enough money to dump into putting a turbo on it or swapping to the whole engine with twin turbo setup from 3000gt
