Hi,
I'm new to the forum but I am a born & bred Alfisti. Presently own 3XAlfas,
GT3.2
156GTA
147GTA
I have just added a 1986 Alfetta GTV 3L, number 209 off 212. The car has a genuine 30000km from new, totally original. I've searched for such a car & finally with the help of Dawie De Villiers I have managed to locate such a car. It's white with the original split rim Compomotives.
I have failed to mention that my 156 & 147GTA's have some mods, the 156 runs a Stage 3 3.7L by Glenwood Motors making 212wkW down at the Cape Coast of SA where I reside.
The 147 runs a far wilder 3.7L with 304degree cams,6XJenvey ITB's etc & makes 252wkW, it made a phenomenal 219wkW at Dawies Pretoria workshop which is near 1.7km altitude so it's strong.Have some serious chassis mods to these cars, big 6 Piston brakes & so on. Looks are stock bar the 18" GT multispoke Alfa alloys & ever so slightly lowered ride height, I'm in to the sleeper look. My Gt3.2 on the other hand is bone stock but has 19" BBS CH rims, -35mm H&R's, looks TDBLK's but just show...............just a daily cruiser.
I've had the old GTV3L upgraded as well with the usual 101mm big bore WOSSNER pistons, Pauter Rods (11.4:1CR) big valve heads, 304 degree cams & Dawie tells me it's making just over 150wkW up in Pretoria which is seriously strong for a 12V/6XCarb I think.
Have upgraded the brakes, Bilsteins, lowered a little & fitted the Alfa 75 transmission with LSD.
Car looks stock, under the bonnet as well but performs well enough to keep up with the more modern V6's.
I hope to have some good times on the forum & to share my experiences where possible with all the other Alfistti.................but most of all to celebrate the best Alfa of them all, the Alfetta GTV6.
