Re: Lowering front

After talking to two different long time Alfa mechs in my area that claim the only way to lower the front is by one notch on the bars (and that is too low for my taste) I am going to set mine just where I want this Winter. That's a great vid! GV Hardcore alfa mechanics probably know this by heart. B...

Re: Hello, newish GTV6 Owner in Los Angels

Re: Help need picture of Heater valve area

Here's a picture with the vlave in the OFF position. As alreasy mentioned make sure to adjust so valve is all the way OFF, don't worry about getting Full On, these heaters put out some serious heat at just 3/4 open. GV

Re: 85 Amp Alternator!

We'll see how long this one lasts - what does the Beck Arnley run in price? And how easy to drop in as far as voltage regulators and mounting bracket??

Re: Greetings from an 83!

Thanks! 2nd and 3rd gear shifts to the top would have been nice :) but as Kevin just suggested I've been babying it :roll: Had it put up on the rack and checked out, with no problems found ... and the vibration has now disappeared, go figure. GV Gregory I just know that when you turned over 200,ooo ...

200K Photo

Here it is on its 200K mile day, just recently brought the front end down, but want to raise it back up a 1/2-inch.

Of course it just developed a drive-line vibration a bit just last week, even though it was completely rebuilt and balanced earlier this year ... ugh! :x

Re: 81 us gtv6

When you say plenum you mean the Throttle Body – right?
If So then Yes, you have the lines routed correct.

Is there a particular problem with how the engine is running?

Re: My first (for all intents and purposes) GTV-6 (long post)

Just saw these latest pictures you posted ... looks like you were up at the Academy of Sciences :)

Again, I'm really struck at how great the wheels and the ride height/stance on yours looks! Have you been enjoying it over the summer ... actually, Fall will be the best weather!

Got the alternator in this last weekend - the windows of this car have never gone up and down so fast :) and the headlights don't brighten and dim when you hit the accelerator and then let off ... it is nice not to have such slooow windows and wipers, and dim headlights. The car feels like it cranks...
