Hi Darren,

I'll move over to PM now - this is getting way off topic for a GTV forum!!

Hi Darren, I get my gaskets sets from EB Spares. They use Goetze head gaskets in the kits. About £200 for a head set. Crank seals and some other gaskets from Alfa direct. I usually use Mangoletsi as their mail order is good. I don't think anyone doubts that the Stig can drive the car - he held power...

Another 'gotcha' I just remembered, don't forget to use resistor plugs if you swap from coil & dizzy to wasted spark, and Greg's book will recommend a cooler plug too. I think I went for BPR8ES on mine.

Hi Darren, I was just unlucky with the M90 I got from e-bay I suppose. I went through a phase of buying superchargers at one point. 2 x M45 (1 was like new, 1 was used but excellent) I decided these were really a bit too small, a couple of M112 units, both OK-ish but decided these would be too big, ...

Hi Darren, First off I'll add another vote to talking to Greg about this. You've already done the smart thing and are buying his book and talking to him BEFORE you start!! Can't say I did it that way round myself, which is one reason I'm now having to do it all again. :oops: I started off wanting to...

Hi Brett,

Yep, that's the one. Didn't realise it was on YouTube. Sounds sweet doesn't it.

FWIW, I'd add another diode to this fix. Feed it from 87 to 85 of the second relay in place of the direct connection. Idea being, as it is in the diagram, if the relay should fail, you'd end up feeding coil current via the diode, which would pop it pretty quickly giving you a more awkward problem di...

Bit of a thread resurection, but I took my V6 project to Vibration Free for balancing recently. Final figure for the entire assembly was 0.28gmm. Don't know what it was to start with as the process begins with component matching, but one of the rods needed a lot taking off it at the big-end. The new...

Hi All, I've finally made my way over here, although I am somewhat of an interloper as I don't have a transaxle car....it's the V6 that brought me here. If I think I've got anything of interest to add, I'll do so...but I'll try to keep the gratuitous BS to a minimum :) Anyway....I've had a good old ...
