What? Build another car? Hey dude.... don't know if anyone's told you but there's other, better ways of wasting what time you got left up here! That is, provided you still have a working extension cord for your ...pinky! Ever thought of S-E-X ? You should try it sometime (preferably with the opposit...

Your Aussie insults are all in vain. Instead of getting pissed off every time you suffer from such compelling verbal diarrhea, I take great consolation in the fact that every time you look in the mirror you see a bona-fide ...turd! This tells me you are 100% self-conscious, which is not the case for...

How do you guys come up with these strange problems? Why can't the nut be tightened? Did someone elongate the slot or is the mount badly made in some way?

Jim K.

I fail to see the need for any special mounting arrangement. I used the std V6 mounts on my 164-based 3.2 and no problems at all. Am I missing something?

Jim K.

Just measured several sets of used 164 24v gaskets (all in excellent, I would even say reusable shape) and they are all 1.6-1.7mm. I have a new set of special Nava ones still sealed, advertised as 1.6mm thick.

You can order special liners from Darton (US), Westwood Liners (UK) or Gozzoli Autotrasformazioni (Italy). State your requirement and they will use the proper material. In Italy they use 'spheroidal cast iron' as they call it. Alternatively -for a 4cyl engine- you can pay a lot more and buy a monosl...

Yeah, a wrinkled nude senile 'babe' with no teeth, with Nomex leakproof diapers (FIA approved?)... just up his alley!

I wasn't aware the clown parade was on, but you two weasels posting together gave it away! :twisted: Sticks and stones.... For the record -you upside down loafer- my own little 1.8T had 293ftlbs at 4380rpm with the old GT2871. And what's more, I got all my own teeth! Eat your heart out, HAHAHAHAHAH!...

Bull! This is slander! I like the V6 (24v) but I'd like it a lot more if it had, say, longer stroke, a bit bigger valves and double Vanos.... Any objections?

Jim K.

'How do Greeks do it?' Haha, I like this one! Well, just like everyone else but not often enough, that's why population is declining! Now on cars, I will agree with MD -as much as I hate to. First you gotta know what the hell you're going to use the piece of junk for. A 747 can't be a fighter and v...

I'm saying we should keep things into perspective. I do admit my cars are faster than I am, so I'm not really looking for more power. This is why I usually say ' I modify an engine for the power level I want, not what I can' . For example, I believe a 75 1.8T with ~300hp and ~320ftlbs (440Nm) is a m...

Your next poll question should be: and, do you think you're really capable of competitively handling 350-450hp in the track? Come on guys, time to apply for a test drive with an F1 team -the hell with F3 ...toys!

Jim K.

We do it here all the time and we have no problems. There are a few specialty shops for these jobs. Consider we have transaxle discs and pressure plates rebuilt mostly for Alfa 75 1.8Turbo cars, many of which have considerably more than 260-280ftlbs torque.

Write to these guys here and ask them to make you the gaskets with separate O-rings at your desired thickness. They DO make special orders and they have done them for us for the 2liter V6. I have the std 3liter set from them but you need the O-ring special, which they make for several Alfa engines. ...

30-35 offset is fine and if not 5x98 pcd, 5x100 will do, which is much more popular as its for Subaru and others. No other pcd is practical as I have 2 more Alfa pcd sets at home -trying to cover my two 75's with road+trackday wheel/tire sets. I've contacted Compomotive, but they won't be making the...
