Re: Some more brake upgrades for the 116-Barry
Killaz,
I too have the same series 1 GTA calipers and wish to make adaptors. Seems nobody could help when I asked the same question in an earlier post.
If you do manage to find a way to adapt these brakes I would be most appreciative if you could share this information.
Many thanks.

MD, lol, thanks- I think.. Unfortunately I was already 90% in the process of re-assembly when I read your post. Now sits around 40mm closer to the road... :? Wanted more, but too scared.

Final objective, improved handling foremost. Looks, a not too distant second. Purpose is to have a nicely balanced road car with asperations of doing some club racing on weekends. Yes, I know that finding such a holy grail is almost impossible- but I don't have garage space or $$ for a dedicated rac...

Lowering front
Hi all, First of all, apologies if this has already been covered. I did do a search but didnt really find what I was after. Am in the process of fitting a stiffer suspension set up and was hoping to lower the front slightly on my GTV. In reference to say stock frnt and rear ride heights, how much lo...

Cracked front shock mount. Cause for concern?
Kinda wanted to post a picture- but I haven't got the skills. :roll: I was in the process of fitting new shocks and noticed that one of the top mounts has a ~5cm length crack in it right underneath where the shock seats. I will likely attempt to get it welded or something. Question is, is this commo...

Thanks guys I appreciate the advice. Yeah I will most likely get 205 series- which good because they are significantly cheaper as well. Another painful decision for me awaits.. I have the possiblility of purchasing 17x7.5 offset 38. These should fit however to add to the problem they are being sold ...

Thanks for the reply's. Last week I questioned several tyre fitting shops as to whether 225 would fit on 6.5, (I too did not think it would fit) and they assured me they would. Hmm.. time to do the ring around again before hitting up Bris tyre shops.. I will look into this further... however, assumi...

Offset and tyre choice
Hi all, I am looking to fit 225/45-16 tyres to some of the new style alfa alloys- offset 41.5, width 6.5. The car is to be slightly lowered ~40mm and I will most likely get Yokohama A539 tyres (all tyres are not created equal). I have read in previous posts that say 225's fit under GTV6 however they...
