hmm, good question. I most likely have the bright one...
All I know is that there were only three colors available for the US milano verde: anthracite, black, and the red that I have. Is there a paint code I can find on the car to verify this? Or maybe some other red verde owner knows the number.

open season: question involving personal taste

Hi I have a red milano verde that is due to be painted in the next month or two. I have been considering going with a non stock color. I know that many people think that t his is blasphemy(sp?) but, the stock bright red screams ¨fast car here.¨ I like the red enough, and on an Italian car it is appr...

Thanks for the feedback. I know there is no one size fits all system. However, there is nothing currently available that is any better than the CSC system which is rather expensive.- I have also been led to believe that it is designed for a 2.5 engine. As far as how I plan to use the car... I guess ...

Large diameter headers

I am planning to buy a set of custom made large diameter headers. I have a person in line to do the work, but I want to utilize the minds on the board to create the design as I am sure that the result will be far superior that way. I have read the other thread and I am looking use tubing with at lea...

what tires (tyres ozzies) can I cram into my 75?

87 yankee milano verde. Just got my momo 15/7/et38 wheels repaired and repainted. I will post photos on my introduction thread. I am building my car to be a street monster that can keep its composure on the track. Will I be able to fit 225 all around? I am willing to modify things in order to make i...

Those prices are the real s***. Although they are not current. Most likely those parts are more expensive now, if they are even available. I have been told a few times that a new abs mc goes for around $2000us. These parts can be found in junk yards and so forth, however. Still, using expensive used...

Hippo58- I had been thinking the same thing. I counted the teeth on my final drive ratio and after rough mental division I determined that the ratio is around 3.5. I will take some photos of my box today and perhaps people will be able to tell me about my speedo sensor. I will also take a photo of t...

Which ljet boxes are the same as the Alfa´s?

Which ljet systems are interchangeable with ours? I would like to buy one so that I may use the wiring harness to connect to the MS that I have not yet purchased/assembled. I am sure that I have read this information on the board, but I cant locate it right now. Oh, and while I am at it I guess I wi...

Tectoteam-I have a US milano verde 3.0l Thanks for the responses. I counted the teeth and it looks like I have the 3.55 final drive. I also checked for the 3.0 stamp and it is there. I am glad to be over the paranoia. 8) For a little while I was afraid that I had a frankenstein car. (Is it possible ...

Is there any way that I can figure out what ratios I have now? It is possible thatI have verde ratios already (the car is a verde). It seems that another person (merrill) has found a verde without lsd. I shouldn´t get carried away with paranoia until I actually know somthing about my box. What are t...

I am beginning to suspect that one of my verde´s previous owners might have swapped the trans and diff with his gtv6. My car has some sort of frankenstein speedometer which looks to me like a gtv6 speedo mounted in a verde instrument cluster. I guess I shouldn´t have said that my car appears to be s...
