Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
They are on a previous page, 9x17 ex STCC rims. Or ex WTCC if that matters, same rim. If you know of more for sale, can you please let me know? :mrgreen: Seriously, Team Dynamics USA just burned me again. My 9x17 was promised to be here for pick-up Jan 12-14. They even confrimed they were on the bo...

Re: Hi from a Lancia Nut!!
Another thing, the thermostat housing is at the back of the cylinderheads in the newer engines while on the older ones it is in front of the engine. That can be changed - fairly straightforward. The 3.7 in my Milano is the newer style 24v V6 out of a 156 - required custom sump as stated above (due ...

Re: Drop Spindles
Yes, I have been thinking about that too, but I need to figure out how much lower. Just installed the rear race coil-overs from Ron yesterday - doing many changes to the 3.7... I may have to pull engine to modify sump (in order to allow perfect alignment of engine and transaxle) - we'll see...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
Well, it stems from the fact that if you want to log battery voltage you need the analog-to-digital (AD) conversion. On earlier DL1 the power supply to DL1 was always fed to, and taking up, one of the 8 AD (and logged). With newer DL1 they give the flexibility (since you may want to use that preciou...

Re: Drop Spindles
With drop spindles you can run a softer suspension, and yet control roll. If you have lowered front with stock spindles you may need very stiff front suspension to control roll. Very stiff suspension can cause problems with traction if the surface is not super smooth, i.e. somewhat bumpy in places. ...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
Don't you get battery voltage internally from the DL1? Maybe not necessary to use an analog input for that? And I think you should definetly use the analog inputs on the DASH2 for the temps and pressures and such. :) I'm getting those for "free" with the ECU cable which is quite nice. On ...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
DL1 and DL2 are data loggers: http://www.race-technology.com - Some time back when I was looking to add data logging to my race car, Mats suggested Race Technology. It is quite nice. Mats, I have engine oil temperature, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temperature, coolant temperature, fuel pre...

RSR suspension kit for sale - S O L D
S O L D I have a barely used Milano/GTV6 RSR suspension kit for sale. It is the kit shown here: http://www.alfaromeo-performanceparts.com/shop/view_product.php?product=COME20LD1 It includes 4 shocks, 4 springs, the adjusters - basically the parts included in the Euro 1295 kit from Ron. It has been o...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
I already have the ECU, it's a DTA S80. Ahh, that's right - I saw that somewhere already. Is that ECU compatible with DL1, i.e. can you connect the two and the DL1 will get many variables from the ECU? This would be nice since you quickly run out of analog inputs on the DL1. Getting some parameters...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
Oops, you are correct. It does say 10x1 - it looked like a 37* angle and I thought I had preciously read AN3. Wow, that _is_ cheap! Do they have an ebay listing/shop with sensors? What are you planning in terms of engine management? One that can interface directly with DL1? So, you'll have DL1 and D...

Re: Drop Spindles
The value of drop spindles is that you don't screw up your front geometry as you do when you have the lower A-arm pointing upwards (in order to lower front end). This is unrelated to suspension travel. They change the roll-center (compared to a car with stock spindles and same ride height), moving i...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
How much are the brake pressure senders? Which brand (Bosch)? The ones from Race Technology are $$$ ($290 a piece), but of course you don't need to worry about figuring out Volt to Pressure mapping (which can be difficult without special equipment since pressure in brakelines can be quite high). BTW...

Re: Mats Strandberg (SWE)
Mats, I recently disassembled a couple of clutch covers, input shafts, and bearings. An original 68k mile clutch cover had the transaxle input shaft and bearings come out easily with my press. However, a 205k mile cover assembly (which has obviously been apart) put up a major fight. A previous perso...

I want to do it as simple and cheap as possible, so I thought of torsion bar coilover combo. Jes, From what i rouglhy measured (It's really cold out there, so is my garage ) Drop for 15" rims including flex clearence is around 4,3 cm. Cost wise (exchange rate) I don't know if it's worth, if I ...

Re: Drop Spindles
Hey Jes, thanks for the pics - you can see the difference. BUT Given the fact that 1,75" drop spindles barely clear 17 rims, (still judging only on the pics) made me wondering if it's of any use for 15"s. With smaller drop for 15" (as i assume) will I be gaining any negative camber a...
