Bought it on the 9th and it arrived on the 11th! It looks great ... will have to wait a few weeks to install as I am off on a trip, but I can't wait to see the difference it makes! :)

85 Amp Alternator!

Hi Gang, Was checking last night for a 90 Amp BMW alternator as a few folks have changed over to, and while looking I found these guys that have upgraded 85 Amp Alfa alternators that are a direct bolt in! I went ahead and bought one and it is on it's way, it seems to be something they list quite oft...

Garth, I'll sum this up for you ... unfortunately you have something known as nogtv6drivitus. This can set in on any gtv6 owner unexpectantly after said gtv6 has not been driven due to repairs and modifications that take over 3 weeks! And untreated after 6 months can lead to serious depression and h...

That's too bad Barry. It's a good thing it happened when driving like normal or you would have been tempted to reduce the horsepower, and there would have been more destruction when the unit failed. I have had two pinion gears fail, and both on stock 2.5s with 1983 Gearboxes. If they had failed on ...

Okay now I am laughing, because I just happened to be cruising youtube and saw a video listed for 24v 3.6l gtv6! I'm thinking it must be one and the same since it is red ... sounds great! I've had much more fun with the 3.0 in the car - but with the 83 gearbox I still have to be in the right place a...

Just Stunning!

Okay, I'll say it again ... Wow! This car looked good before but the shots out on the road - the wheels (color and look) and the ride height really make it! You guys did a great job! 8)

WOW! looking really great! It looks like the directional vents were done in a simulated burl wood ... is that right? If so I am surprised it can be physically done. The floor mats don't look quite right in black to me, but not sure of what other options you have, less someone can custom make them to...

I would second on the bump stop - the GTV should have one - I had the very same symptom a few years back and it was the little rubber bump stop (had fallen out) ... mounts to the body in the tunnel. At the time could not get one for a gtv, so got one from a Milano (75) and made it fit. gv
