It happened today. My GTA engine is in its place but I don't have tacho at this time in my car, because it has to be recalibrate. I drove on a wide street with 3 lanes in each direction and reach the latest Mercedes SL 500. He was the first on that lane so I navigate behind him. He started to pull a...

In '95 the average condition of the roads were quite OK. In those days we also said about the Romanian roads that to drive there is a nightmare. But since that time nothing happend to our roads, especially inside the towns and cities. I have to renew the suspension almost every year. :( The only goo...

Yes I used to drive there sometimes, since my ex was born there. You know Transylvania was part of Hungary for 1000 year before the WWI. There are a lot of Hungarian still.
It's sad but I have to tell You the roads in Hungary are in the same condition now. :(

Here are some new pics.

The cabling is a temporary installation. When everything will be at place I will clean it out and keep only those wires that really needs.

Hi Barry! It's a pity. :( I tried to find a solution here in Hungary several way (contact with Bosch, asking a specialist who worked with older motronics with key-code, asking the ECU-tuners, etc.), but noone can help. :( But good to know that there's a contact who can help next time. Maybe if the T...

Hello my fellow Alfisti! It's a long time I haven't follow the cars transformation on these pages. There was a slowdown in the process, because we ran into some serious problems with the ECU. We can't get it alive and noone was able to start it up or at least disable the code in it. So I had to find...

Hi Jake! They are not the king of the dragracing events. Even I like to use for this purpose as well! :D The 180 SX is a fair opponent, and it could be get by a stock GTV6 in good condition, with a trained driver. The R32 is not a question, it plays in an other league (even it's age not the same). W...

Hi guys! Before I started the GTA-engine project, I had a 3-liter L-Jet in my GTV, with a very short 4,3:1 final drive. Thatswhile I needed a higher rev-limit, because the stock 5800 won't let me drive fast, and at drag-starts I had to be very precise with the starting rev and shift, because it happ...

It's completly wrong!!!
They killed the car. They take away the heart and soul of the lady. :(((
Nothing is so far from an Alfa Romeo, from a GTV than a soulless Lexus engine which generates no emotions at all. :((
Very sad story at all.
RIP
