Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project
So let the games begin and right up I need some help. So I can make up a foreign intake manifold on my intended engine, I need some parts from an Alfa 75 turbo series manifold. Specifically the coolant gooseneck connection in the photo. The rest of the parts I can probably source one way or another ...

Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project
Hey Kev, Is that a UK registration number plate standard issue or have you ordered that as an advertising billboard ? :D Cripes, why are they so large ? Lot of parking attendants in the UK must need reading glasses I guess. Neil Armstrong could read that from the moon. It takes up way too much airfl...

Re: Coolant dripping
Hey Big Guy, Yes indeed there is a distilled water and inhibitor in my coolant. No anti freeze but it doesn't need it. I think ethyl glycol is banned on the track anyway. What it has got is a refreshed sheit hot livery. Must get a photo of it up. I 'll work on that soon. It would nice to know if Gho...

How many have swapped out the 3rd gear in the twin spark gearbox, coupled the gearbox to a boosted engine and found the shaft on that gearset spinning ?

Hey Kevin. What do you think of a custom hub cap for your wheels, perhaps powder coated and an Alfa centre logo?

Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project
Nice little project Kevin. Could do with a more flashy front nudge bar...Got a feeling Zamani has got a spare one going cheap.

Re: lithium battery for race car
Hey Buddy what's with moving all the furniture? Are you running out of room in the engine bay from installing that V16 you have been hanging out to do? Getting any battery out of the heat zone is always a good idea. Alternators also prefer to have a cool life. However, with DC operation, it is also ...
Re: Squeeeall
Kevin, Insults are not your style. You are the cultured guy from Saut AAFRIKA. Keep it straight and your usual cool. If you are looking for a new you, take up sky diving will ya? Remember to not be concerned with the new parachute style with all the holes in it, they are for guiding the glide path. ...

Re: Squeeeall
You possibly have two problems. Exactly as Zamani has said PLUS the sort of brake pad material that does that all the time due to its formulation..Ever heard it on busses or trucks pulling up when they squeal like sheit at the last few turns of the wheels? Given the age of your ride, sounds to me li...

Re: "Patches" MD's Final Racing Project
Hi PietereQ
The lowest configuration that I have had is 80mm ground clearance.It is the only reference I can give you.

Re: GTV6 Door hinge pin replacement help
Well done big guy. I would suggest something a little more precise. Remember the body posts are fixed and the roll pin should be held captive here to force the door hinge to pivot around the pin. Therefore the body posts should have the original dimension with wear only on the door hinge itself. To ...
