alfabb?

Hey, is it just me or does the other alfa forum, the www.alfabb.com seem to not be working. Am I missing something?

2.5 isn't bad. If you are gong FI I would wait until the supercharger is in and purring before adding anything. On my '85 535i I took out the cat and center muffler, put in a cheap turbo II resonator and 2.5 single into dual (1.75 as per factory settings) because I kept the stock rear muffler. It so...

I think the whine of a supercharger would def. solve your problem. :twisted: Other than that, what size pipe are you running. It seems to me the bigger diameter (and switching form two small to 1 big) adds some resonance to the exhaust on 3.0 and smaller cars, as they are not pushing enough air, so ...

I don't mind the weight, It' the FWD. why not trim levels, front or AWD like subaru, or even throw the transverse engine/trans in the back for RR instead of FF. I understand why FWD was cool in the 80's (it was supposedly better than RWD for handling in the snow, its cheaper and easier to build esp....

I am selling a wiper box if you can't seem to get them up to speed. I didn't think mine were that slow, but I was driving around in an '85 BMW 353i for awhile and those wipers are slooooooooooooow.... And make no torque, they would barely push snow off the window in the winter, scary :shock: Otherwi...

Get some electronic connection cleaner, if that doesn't work try carefully using a knife to scrape, but not too hard. Also you can use copper connection grease and a Q-tip or toothpick. Or you can just buy mine. :D

Yes there is, it's fairly easy. You will need a multimeter, wires with alligator clips on either end and a car battery. If you look on the diagram you will see a printed circuit off of a relay. This circuit should also be on your relay. The numbers may be different, but that is okay as long as you c...

Wouldn't any 30 amp relay work? If you decide you want "new" circuit boards, let me know as I will be selling mine shortly. I'll even throw in a relay :D

my car is pretty rusted, alot of what saved it was the fact that it was in a barn for almost a decade. I think the main problem with the tar-like stuff is that while it displaces most water, it stays supple so osmosis of water can occir actually trapping water between the car and the undercoating!!!...

If all goes well I will be done Sept. 5th. I am really anxious to be done with this book. It's been consuming my life for well over a year. Greg, P.S.
