A little late for an "excuse the finger-pointing" post and then to leave this kind of shit hanging out there... "Breaking" it in half and re-assembling it again as it was - back from balancing - hardware in the same spots - orientated exactly the same way - DID NOT change anythin...

Yeah, no - granted - I am not saying that the strut setup for the rear is the Alpha & Omega - in fact - far from it - so I do "grasp" it. What I am saying is that the setup in terms of hubs, side-shafts, motor-mounts, gearbox and interface, engine/sub-frame setup, anti-roll bar and mou...

John, thanks for posting all of those pictures, that was really cool to look at. Why do you say the evo kit doesn't buy you anything? Am I better off just flaring my original fenders? I don't care about looks, I just want to fit as wide of tires as possible. You mean in the other thread about the E...

I was scolded like the red-headed step-child a while back somewhere for suggesting something as grotesque as a mid-engined GTV6 - my idea was a bit more simple than a clean-slate, new rear design and I still think that I may build this some day... For starters (and on a budget) - so that one does no...

Ride-heights aren't set yet - fender-work not done yet... Any way, 17 X 7.5 Team Dynamics pro Race 1.2 on the 3.7 24 valve Milano/75. I bought these unfinished and had them powder-coated in this flat matte black! 235s on the front and rear right now - should be fine (once I do the custom body-work t...

Glad that you/they're making progress... It's unfortunate that they screwed up the drive-shaft balancing - who did that for you again? Any way - yeah - it was pretty bad when I drove the car. As far as the clutch - Andrew Garcia at Garcia Alfa Racing built that box and put the clutch-unit together f...

R U ? :lol: It's wine-time over there now - here on the West Coast it's not even beer-time yet...

I see now - Micke was talking about the welds for the toe-in...

Yeah - toe out on these cars would be a very bad thing - drove one with toe-out on the front - terrible![/i]

Just like Mats said. Outside the tubes to the front. - But Mats was saying INSIDE of the tubes to the front...!? Now I'm confused - I am pretty sure Mats said inside - you're sayng outside...? Thanks for not "nagging" Mats - yeah - I just want to understand this - by cutting to the inside...

Good job Kevin! How are ya boet!?

Hey, do you have one of Ron's 30mm bars on the front yet?

Also, we should probably consider bumping you up to 125s on the front and maybe 60 or 65s at the rear - or 70s - but that will be a tad much - me thinks...)

NO WAY! Cutting and welding to the INSIDE of the two forward tapered DeDion arms? Now you have to still fight them where they are attached at the outer-limits to the rear bar as well as at the front of the triangle! Also, cutting and modifying on the inside of the triangle - how the hell do you chan...

In short; the space between the top of the DeDion and the bottom of the CV... In the pic below - if you cut/weld the DeDion and add negative camber at (or around) "A" - you'll drive the CV right down in to the DeDion around "B". However, if you cut at (or just maybe even to the r...

I tell you what happened in all likelihood - go look at the clearance between the TOP of the DeDion hub "ear" (part that holds the wheel-bearing housing) and the bottom of the CV head where it bolts to the little stub-axles - there's just about nothing there - especially on a V6 car! So, i...
