Re: Andy´s ex-white GTV6 (CZ) - pearl green

I must admit the Alfa did better than Renault Clio Sport as it survived one more lap :-D Fortunately I had to fix only accelerator cable rather than almost loosing a front wheel on the Renault due to faulty factory wheel bolts /therefore there is a lot of wheel stud conversion kits for the Clio out ...

Any ideas gents? edit, does anybody know whether ...

Re: It's Not a TA Alfa, But It Has Some Damn Impressive Spee

I´ve already asked this year ago and they says "We have never timed Ron's GTV 6 round the ring, but our Alfa 75 TS's do about 8.30 bridge to Gantry and the V6's do about 8.25 on semi slick tires
To put it in comparison a BMW E36 318 with 150 bhp with the same mods is about 8.45."

Re: Andy´s ex-white GTV6 (CZ) - pearl green

I´m looking for rear brake discs, are they compatible (GTV6 made in 85) with Alfa Romeo 75 V6 ?.. I´ve found at least 2 types (same diameter 250mm, same center hole, thickness...)

Re: Andy´s ex-white GTV6 (CZ) - pearl green

Re: Andy´s ex-white GTV6 (CZ) - pearl green

Thanks for tips Kevin, I just forgot to mention that I fitted custom 70mm (2.75" ?) exhaust to the rear and used thermoisolation tape around rear axle. Just realised that there was a very small gap between the exhaust and rear sway bar mountings. Anyway, I´m running standard disc size upfront.

There was a trackday on the weekend, so lot of fun and I must admit KU36 tyres are working quite well even I haven´t played with the tyre pressure at all. Only one thing I´m worrying about - after several laps knocking from the rear of the car while hard breaking and later on also without braking wh...
