Re: What sort of Alfa cars we want

Excellent idea Garth. :D But you will definatly have to go for the front mounted gearbox option on a 3.7 turbo. :twisted: I think we need to all be hired to drive Alfa's future product line up.....between us we would make TVR look like a company that was run by little old ladies... :lol: I am 1.86m ...

Re: What sort of Alfa cars we want

Re: 164 pro model

Definatly one for the collection mjr. :D Man,that Procar 164 would have made the ultimate sleeper car for the road.My brother and I have often laughed at the idea of pulling up to some yuppie in his lates 'Uber Alles' wank mobile and then pasting him six love with this baby. :lol:

Re: Toyota Drivers Suck!

I remember that Topgear episode very well Garth.Bloody hell but Lewsi can pedal a motor car AND still sing while doing it. :shock: Let's just hope Kimi has a much better season but Felipe is really looking like the complete package to me.Looks like Schumi's tutoring has paid off nicely. :D I am look...

Re: Ooops ! Fernandos 3.6 24v..-Barry

Sorry for the late response guys. Yes this happened on my way home one Tuesday afternoon.At first there was only a slightly strange sound from the motor but nothing you would get into a panic about.No vibration through the drivetrain or clutch pedal at all which does sound weird when you look at the...

Re: 3 liter, 24 valve engine project

Hi Michael, I am a long time user of Kevin's manifolds.Never had an issue with either the one used on my 12V 3.5 from Oom Div or the 3.6 Barry built for me. On my 3 litre Glenwood Group 1 it was a Wildcat system most likely built by Kevins guy. :D Good luck with the rest of your project and may the ...
