GTV6 Track Day Car
Howdy. Thought you might be interested in some details of the restoration of my GTV6. The work was done by Alex Jupe and you'll find photos on his website at:
http://www.alexjupemotorsport.co.uk/g07/index.htm
and
http://www.alexjupemotorsport.co.uk/downloads.htm
Engine is a Glenwood Motors 3.5 litre, 12 valve V6 with a Gotech engine management system. The rolling road measured 228 BHP/248 FT LB torque at the wheels. It has a 75 Twin Spark gearbox (with LSD), RS Racing suspension kit with poly bushes and SZ A-frame bush, Brembo brakes up front and SZ calipers/vented disks at the rear.
CSC exhaust with ANSA back box sounds fantastic. It howls like an animal above 3000 RPM then crackles like a Boxer engine with carbs on the overrun.

Nice to meet a fellow Glenwood 3,5 12V owner.I had the same mags on my previous GTV6 and am now deeply regretfull that I didn't keep them.
Your GTV6 looks stunning.My 3,5 also pops and bangs on the overun but your right,open the taps and it just sings through to 6500rpms.

Love it Bravo ! Very logical progression of the Gtv6.The car Alfa should have built before going fwd.
Would love to hear a sound file of a Glenwood motor 3.5 12v ,3.7 24v and of any other guys modified larger cc motors Thanks.

Had some tweaks done on the car at the weekend and was really pleased to meet Glenwood & Gotech gurus, Dawie and Domingo. We've been hearing a lot about these guys recently on the forum and I thought you might like to put faces to the names.

Alex thought that they might be able to sort out some lumpiness and drive-line shunt at low revs by some tweaks to the fuel map. They made some improvement but I've been advised that any more will compromise the top-end performance. So, I'll live with it
