Great! Thanks guys. Do you think that it's also necessity to change the anti roll bar to accompany the 27.3 mm t-bars? By the way how much the t-bars weigh?

27.3 mm torsion bars

Since the restoration project of my GTV6 is about to launch, I think it's also opportunity to enhance the performance of the car. It's no brainer that stock suspension is a bit too soft for a decent sports car. Hence my question to those who have 27 mm torsion bars: did handling got better after ins...

Guess I'll stick with 2,5 liter option then :( Gee I really had this moment of "the sudden extra bonus suprize euphory" :lol:
@MJR Mine has also some markings on the headers, but AFAIK there were no special versions of 2,5 v6 available in eurospec GTV6

Pietere, D and S means Distra and Sinistra, left and right in italian..i'm guessing the 3.0 means the engine size.. Well actually it isn't "3.0" but just "3" the marking looks like this: http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/6338/enginemarking5iq.png I scanned the engine for 3 hour...

I know it's a bit old topic but it kept me really bothering, to check whether I have stock 2,5 or not. The only thing I found on the right head was "3" "D" and fishlike-symbol all this inside rectangular frame. Same thing for the left head except that "D" was replaced w...

As far as alfa's big capacity engines are concerned, have you heard about the new engine for the Brera GTA? 4.2litre V8 440hp and 550Nm, sounds quite appealing to me. The engine is being built together with Maserati. Eveythig is better than Opel (GM) isn't it?

GTV6 speedo sender question - looking for spares

Speedo sender on my gtv6 is dead, need a new one, and is it possible that speedo sender from 75 2,5 will be a bolt on? Or should i look for the original gtv6 speedo sender?
Thanks,
Pete

Well it's me again. Fitted the new servo and the difference is minimal. I know that stock gtv6 brakes are not Tarox 12 piston brake kit, but it should be much sharper. Do you have any suggestions what may be the issue?

Actually it's on statium's parking lot. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) Poznań race track is now closed. They are stripping-off the old tarmac, and putting new asphalt with a lot better traction coefficient, widening the track, doing some job on the curves etc. AFAIK they wanted to comply with...

I think this may be of little help to the discussion. The main difference is in the shape of lightbeam. It is due whether the traffic is lhd or rhd, to avoid blinding the vehicles at the opposite lane. http://www.altech.com.pl/wbt/_tuning/xen/93accord_compare18.jpg Or more clearly here: http://www.a...

Haha, bet the GTV6 is faster ;) Well, we didn't actually compare the performance of both cars, but Breras' "razor-sharp" responsive steering, good suspension shows really some progress that alfa has done in this area. But when it came to compare the sound of my 2,5 v6 with's breras engine...

The clash of generations :)

I just came back from our local aflisti spot. My GTV6 and The brand new Brera (just covered 300 km!) I think that such contrast can be quite interesting. The photos speak pretty well for themselves. What do you think? http://www.pyrateam.sylaba.pl/albums/2006-05-27_-_parking_przy_stadionie_Lecha/18_...
