Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff
Silverstone classic was really good this year . Must go both days as they have some good 80s bands playing on Saturday night and it's a real party . I stayed at a b&b which was really comfy next to the track for £50 a night . Usually my mate runs one of her GTV's that race so their is always an ...

Re: Need s some advice on an Alfetta GTV 3.2 V6 24v conversi
Yes , about 7degrees , so it bell housing bush and centre bearing offset . Old theory is as car accelerates it twist the engine into a straighter position . All about comfort . On my race car I made own engine mounts and aligned whole drivetrain up BUT I made an engine brace to stop any movement of ...

Richard Melvin was in his original Alfa Dealer Team Napolina2.0 GTV and alongside was Snowdon with the ex French GTV 2....

Re: Helloo from Serbia! (My 24v conversion)
Hi , it's a shame all your images have gone as was just going back through topic and looking for your suspension pics . Can you post some more of roll cage . I'm interested to see how far back you have the main roll hoop , ie how far is it from the chassis crossmember over the tunnel . I guess it al...

Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff
This particular road on normal days is not a one way and has a speed limit of 60mph . Thats what it is on most of these country lanes where you have to stop and pull in to let some past . There are two absolutely blind corners on this particular stretch your main concern on normal days is not other ...

Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff
Had a bit of fun with the track car in a hill climb event in a small village not to far from me called Shere . Its a very pretty place if visiting with an excellent coffee shop . Most of the buildings date from 1450 to 1550 . They make the tower of Pizza look plumb ! It's not a timed event but you c...

Re: transaxle upgrade's
That's an excellent solution . Pinion float from tiny deflection was always th killer under serious abuse on the track . Twin plate unsprung GTV clutch with 0.9mm skimmed off each side of intermediate plate worked well with 350 hp . Lighter than single plate and handle more torque . Clutch bracing -...

Re: How high should I rev my new 3.0?
I never had issues to touch 7k on the track in the 3.0 12v but if you gonna do it constantly on the road and want longevity , synchro to stay good and with those cams probably safe to stay at 6.5 k ( conservative side ) Did you put new rod bolts in as old one don't like it above 7k or nearly 8k :sho...
