Re: Alfetta GTV Turbo - Race Car update. 85% done.

Wow Mats... That top view looks brilliant. A turbo four with an exhaust manifold like that just looks so at home between those shock towers!

Re: GTV6 2.5 -Street Legal Track Car

The 16s are a nicer wheel I think... The 17s fill the arches better, though!
Car looking great!

Giuesppe, that 3.2 sounds like my kind of donk!

Re: My rebuild!

Drove her home today! Wow! The RS kit is awesome. Coupled with the knuckle risers, it's made the car so agile- it changes direction so well! I'll slowly chip away at it, driving it harder as i get more comfortable with it, but 5 years and one week since my last real drive of a transaxle, it felt lik...

Re: My rebuild!

I can't compare the two, Bareass- I've not driven a car with either mod, in anger! The upside down balljoint mod is referred to by many as a race only mod. The Knuckle riser achieves the same thing (UCA angle/roll centre mod)- with an extra part. It's supposed to return the agility to these cars tha...

Re: My rebuild!

Thanks Kevin- she's getting there! I have to say, viewing your amazing cars has spurred me on and raised the standard of what I expect! How's sunny England treating you!? Hugh, who did the exhaust has also helped me with mechanical work- my new go to guy since Fab Baudille (3.0TT alfetta sedan- did ...

Re: My rebuild!

In the previous pics you can: see the difference between the new and old collectors, and the exhaust system. Hugh even notched the rear crossmember to fit the exhaust nice and snug. I can't believe the amount of ground clearance I have now. Even with the car lowered. The exhaust sounds deeper and mu...

Re: My rebuild!

Brilliant Fedezyl- I can't wait to see her! Evo, the Zenders are on street tyres- I've got some 156 17x7s for the track which will get semi slicks once I've had the centrebores machined out to alfetta diameter. I had to get the Zenders- I just feel they are the ultimate Alfa wheel- although I could ...

Re: My rebuild!

Hope you got to drive her, Fed! Let us know! I've been very slack with updating. Ill spend some time posting pictures early next week, but this is where it stands- Suspension together with RS fronts in now as well, PACE knuckle risers in as well-as Kevin said, no UCA issues, but a tight fit. Unfortu...

Re: 2013 Silverstone Classic ( 300hp beats 500hp !)

Got a bit excited and clicked post 3 times :)

Interesting to see that putting the power down early (and effectively) makes such a difference!

Re: 1983 BTCC heads and Cams

MJR sounds like a similar spec thing to my 2.5

From what I know, they had to retain stock ex manifolds but the runners were ported.

That will be a fun little engine if it's anything like mine!
