Ah, how delightful ! :D The king of bullshit baffles brains is back. ( I knew you always were gonna come back.) Now JK, I know you is a smart guy but you is overlooking clinical facts. You see when the brain is devoid of blood supply, you don't think so good, right? ( At this point just nod in agree...

Fuel

Hi Andy, Can't be an insurmountable problem. Could be a faulty fuel pump or one that is on its way out. Could be some fouling as you say. How about disconnecting the supply from the tank to your fuel pump and connecting the same hose to a known clean fresh supply of fuel. At the same time disconnect...

All that sounds interesting and likely to function as you expect but aren't you missing the essence of what this site is about and more to the point what these cars are all about. Sure they have idiosycracies but that is all part of their character. Instead of drastically changing it and turning it ...

Well Baz, after that little number I would say your arse is grass. The likelihood of you getting a car park even in a handicap bay at St Peters' park and ride would have to zero minus 15. :D

I have agonised about this before I decided to say my piece so in the end I am just going to say what I feel rather than what might be politically correct. Business is what keeps everybody alive on the planet. We have stopped hunting and gathering berries along time ago to survive. I am not aware of...

Try the old site, http://www.alfagtv6.com/and look under Technical subheading for Driveshaft and Gearbox. You will get lots of specific info there.

My two cents worth Baz. Transaxle ownership is a relatively small number even taking the global tally. The original site and this one over time has been very successful in relaying information between interested parties to the point that its very success is what is perhaps slowing down some interest...

Just building on Mats point. This might be overkill but perhaps some steel reinforcement around the flywheel mounting bolts might be in order such as steel inserts for the bolt holes and perhaps a steel circular plate to distribute the stress. Is there likely to be any crush problems of the aluminiu...

Having done this excellent work, it would be really worth while to know in actual stopping distance how much of an improvement over the orignal system the new set up really is.

Doug, If you are sure that the rear bearings are not the culprits and I would think you would not expect to feel a huge amount of play, it could be something else. I have heard of a term called "end float" which refers to the differential I think. If I have this correct, excessive end floa...

Hi Don, Thanks for the compliments but cut it out. I'm going to get a swollen head ! I am surprised to see Zamani talking about such low octane fuel. Isn't 98 octane available in the US? My limited knowledge about your problem Don is that you need to settle on the compression ratio to satisfy either...

Twin Spark Engines

Seems I was only partially wrong with my claim of horsepower for the old 105 engines. I should have said the injected version instead of the carbie equipped ones. But the power output was correct @ 150 bhp. Check it out:- http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=1441 General ...
