Garth, mate.. come on dude. sense of humour.. do you have one? Did you read the lol What's with sucking up to the Sepos. I don't think your confession of unceasing love and admiration toward them will encourage any of them to come to Aus and rebuild your car for you. Lighten up mate... the badge is ...

As I recall there was a poll on whether people would pay $700 Aus for the setup. Made in WA. I have some pics of it somewhere but I'm not sure if it's still on the site. It was on the old GTV6.org forum I think.

Garth, go to the Magnecor website. There is a PDF catalogue on line that has the part # for the GTV6, you can get a couple of different versions i.e: road / race, so 7mm, 8mm etc. I had to order mine through the Sydney agent and they made them up. They cost me a bit over $200.00 new, as did the orig...

The front two are easy, no need to remove the engine for these. Jack up the front of the car and support the engine by the sump with a block of wood on a jack so as not to damage the sump. It takes about 10 mins each to remove them. I've never done the rear but it will need to be pressed out and bac...

Be careful with magnecor leads. I used to be a firm advocate before I got my GTV6. I found that it is Magnecors that cause trouble with the spark amplifier. I went back to copper core and things have never been better. Garth, if you really want Magnecor I'll sell you mine. They were on my car for ab...

It looks pretty good, a bit retro if you can make an already retro car more retro. lol I have recently fitted an 86 GP edition front nose to my car. Getting it to sit right is a bit of a bracket fiddle. I just have to raise it at the back a bit now. As you can see (for those familiar with the GP edi...

They are some great looking seats. From what I've seen of your car it looks pretty good all over. Bung some more pics of the car on the Intro page...which reminds me, I should do the same after all the years I've been following this great site.

Yeah I wanted to believe it was some rare anomalie too, but its not, it's 22 years old and Alfa Romeo aren't renowned for consistent quality. The one on my hatch is really good and has all its colour. The light blue is the base colour all the others are layed over the top of this. my 2 cents... and ...

From my experience gauges rarely fail, however they don't last forever either. try putting a load on the gauge to test if the needle moves if so you probably have two faulty senders on your hands. I'm pretty sure I did something like this a couple of years back when I experienced a similar problem. ...
