Took the Giulietta out for some sightseeing or lack of it in the heavy fog this morning . Good thing that Alfa for some strange reason made the 2016 facelift Giulietta a full inch higher than the previous model as the gravel roads up to the Grange country house in Northington suited a 4x4 .

Hey Jim , how's your Christmas present list coming on . Just in case you don't have my address I can always send it . Any go faster Alfa bits welcome Ps I heard MD got arrested for wearing his Christmas stockings in public ! - and his budgie smuggler . ( hold on - that's his old Footie kit )

Yep had that a few times . So can occur if you park on a gentle slope and you turn off car without immediately using your handbrake to take up slack on belt . Then when you start it it jumps tooth . Or when working on car under side fiddling with prop and you turn prop wrong way . If you set tension...

What exhaust you got one ie how many boxes . Is the last box straight through ?
Sounds great . Are the cams 3.2 grinds or 3.0 grinds ?

The trip to the dealership was not all in vain as we picked up our new daily commute - the Giulietta . Very happy with it as it now the third I have owned and each time alfa keeps refining the areas which you want to complain about . Still I would like space for left foot rest next to clutch pedal e...

So I was at HWM today trying to figure out how to put the Giulia engine in the GTV . Damn what a glorious sound it makes when you blip it in race mode . After having a thorough inspection even on tyres I noticed how soft and sticky the compound is . It's tread wear rating is only 60 ! My semi slicks...

Did you get my email with prices . If I was still In SA they would be a third of the cost .
Cheers

Was measuring a bearing today on 82 gtv 6 UK model and it was a 55mm . Not sure when the changes were .

Good point written above on back being to over sprung compared to front if you only had 80kg/cm on front plus torsion bars which is from previous discussion is about 130kg/cm total front . Ron used to start with 50kg/cm rear plus 115kg/cm front coil over plus torsion bars ( 165kg/cm total ) . This w...

Also if you have gone harder on front springs and depending on your front tyre temps taken immediately as you come into the pits on the outer edge , middle and inside of tyre you could possibly bring in camber to 2degrees which will help more in braking . This is the data you need to get and not to ...

Well theoretically you have just made car higher in front by going harder springs . Another thing you can do is introduce rear anti roll bar gap which means you slacken off the drop links on the rear anti roll bar . This small gap will let the rear roll more on corner exit as you put down power and ...

Hi , to start off I would either raise the front ride height or lower the rear ride height . This will transfer more weight to rear but induce more under steer . Reason I would play with ride heights is you got all the kit the does make a really good handling 75 . I spent a morning watching Ron sett...

Welcome . I also remember that plate . I'm sure I used to see it at Alfa Service Centre in Bedfordview . Are you stripping the beading at the bottom of the off . You have to remove glass to do it but I would do it personally and photograph it . Don't leave it to the unskilled as clips will get broke...

Yes , drop me pm . Also you would need alt bracket and trigger wheel plus bracket .
Edit : probably easier if I show you how to cut and weld sump up as posting this from UK to Oz will cost atleast £200 . Can send you the small stuff .

:mrgreen: about time some one livened up this thread :D MD don't get to excited about threads as I understand it's all you guys wear on the Gold Coast with your sandals ! At the same time as the Silverstone classic is the event in Belgium which strangely enough a few guys from here in UK went to tha...
