Thanks mate. I could'nt agree with you more, a V6 is the way to go.......there's nothing better than hearing the sound of that glorious V6.
Nice thought though, but i've given up on it as i have a GTV V6 24V.
I fitted a 2.0 engine which i had modified by fitting 10,5 :1 Borgo high compression pistons, gasflowed and ported head, 3 angle seats cut on valves, 288 deg. cams, bigger jets and venturis fitted to the 40mm Weber's. All rotating parts balanced. I've also done quite a bit of cosmetics to the engine.

I just fitted these Sportiva 16 x 7 rims with 225/50/16 Yokes. I have a Sport suspension; Koni Sport dampers & Fr/Rr lowered. TIGHT fit!!!! A little ingenuity and a couple of whacks with the BFH did it. I think these are period correct for the car like a lot of the others shown.
Ride is greatly improved, but I don't get as much hard running around here. Too many coppers.....
BTW, these clean pretty easy. I hope the guy that designed the tight basketweave type rims is in HELL with a toothbrush and an endless stack of these rims to clean in front of him.

Jooolzz,can you mail me a high res pic of the house with the cast iron trellising please?
French cars are shit and shit expensive to service and bloody awful and unreliable and expensive and friends don't let friends drive french cars and you wait years for parts.
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 though...) The stupid Evo kit doesn't gain you anything!
Ultimately these wheels will live on the 6-speed 24 valve 3.45 litre 164 LS/Super though and I will be getting these Team Dynamics Pro Race 2s for the Milano (single picture!) Problem is that right now they only come in a 7.5" max width in 17s 9would like 8-9 - especially on the rears...)

...to Alfa, or not to Alfa? That is the question...

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.
I love those Works. A cheap rip-off you can buy is the Rota D2. Looks pretty damn good too.
