Italian Princess in Greece!!
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2006 8:41 am
Hi from Greece!
My name is Zissis Akrivos and this is my metal lady.
I have owned her for ten years now and she initially was in a sad state to say the least. Car is a 2 litre in 'grigio metalisato' running on twin dell'ortos 40DHLAH and modifications include:
-10:1 compression ratio (motronic pistons)
-11mm cams
-sprint filter swivelling trumpets
-electric fuel pump
-75 turbo oil cooler with thermostatic valve
-custon made manifold, stainless steel exhaust (50mm inside diameter)
-gtv6 torsion bars, 75 turbo anti roll bars, mad lowering springs and koni shocks, car is lowered approx. 45mm
-campagnolo 15'' wheels with 205/50/15 Kumho Ecsta Supra
-gtv6 discs with brembo alu calipers and goodridge hoses
-interior retrimmed in tan leather, momo 'rookie' driver's seat, sabelt 3 point harnesses, sabelt 'acropolis' steering wheel, sparco alu pedals
-extra veglia gauges for oil temperature, battery voltage and fuel pressure (last is in the engine bay of course)
-period 'farmont' sunroof
-gtv6 bonnet (previous owner had installed a 2.5 engine)
Maybe all this sounds a bit old-fashioned now especially with the 3 liter GTVs being a must, but i prefer to stick mainly to the old school 'carb' rules!
It seems that i cannot escape the glorious sound...
Car is constantly evolving so i'll keep you informed.
Greetings to Barry, MD and of course JimK (i owe you one mate).
Thanks.
