There is special cooling system cleaners that you put in the water and then drive for a while, then you flush the sytem out. You can also reverse flush the radiator, so you get old partikles out.

The car should not need any radiator blind, temperture should be stable anyway.
There is something wrong with the cooling system!

Also there is a huge difference on what racetrack you use the car, the Nürburgring can use a car that is a little noseheavy, as it gets very stable in high speeds, and the turns is quite big. On the other hand a small clubcircuit need a car that turns in very well, but can be a little nervous someti...

That is the standard type shocks for the Alfetta Chassis. It is a Twin-tube shock
like a standard one, for sporty driving you need the monotube ones!

Interesting bump-stops acting against the top arms. GTV6 and early 75's had them facing against the lower arm, right?

No, the older cars Alfetta, Giulietta, GTV6 up to app late -85 has bumpstops like that, Later GTV6 and 75 has them on the shocks.

Have a nice day!

I agree, but maybe under a thread called future Alfas or similar?

Isn't this a ALFA GTV6 forum? An Alfa without its own heart is no Alfa!

And your cars is very light?

None of these aregood shocks, very low on the quality ladder.
Rather buy good quality nonadjustables than bad adjustable!

However, I really like your suggestion. Hmmmm.... Lottery time!

True, but if you have to earn the money it can be good to know what you get, and what you pay for it. Don't you agree?
So JJ come on.

Micke, so you send the check in blanco?

Some lucky sucker here just transferred money in today for a screaming 24 valve 3.0 budget motor that makes more power on pump gas and 10.5:1 CP than the current 3.2 GTA race cars!!!

JJ, can you give some info on this engine? Specification, price and
what parts needed as basis?

I always thought that one of the good things with the De Dion
is that the wheels is vertical all the time, so you have the full
contact patch of the tyre at a start. Compare to an independent axle like BMW, where te wheel go to negative camber under a start with less even contact patch?!
