Bazookajoe For my money, the 3 litre engine transforms the car into a much more sporty machine without essentially changing the essence of the vehicle. You can always hang onto to your original engine for future reference if you think you may want to return to original for what ever reason that may ...

Matts, I cannot directly answer your question as I have never tried those systems but others who have might like to comment on them. What I do know is that SKYPE is very efficient, gives no problems with firewalls even like ZoneAlarm which is known to give some of these systems a hard time. There is...

Merril I cannot directly assist you with the actual process of fitting your LSD but only have this advice to offer. I installed a fully reconditioned Twin Spark transaxle into my car. This job was done three times to get it right. The reason? Period noise in the differential. The gearbox worked perf...

As usual Jim you have the common sense approach. The only thing I can add to this is knowing your limitations as you have said and having brand loyalty being the two key issues for an Alfa devotee. It does not matter how much power you have because some bastard out there is going to have more than y...

Flywheel
tectoteam I definitely like the way you are thinking. It sounds good in principle. I just want to add what I think is clarification from Dennis which I feel maybe you did not interpret correctly. From my understanding, what Dennis is saying is to use the original material from the factory flywheel a...

Credit to the guy from an engineering talent angle but I'm with you joey. As good as a Lexus motor is, it's not the point. I have seen 13B Rotories fitted to an Alfetta which makes more sense from a weight point of view but immediately it is no longer an Alfa no matter how good it is. I do support c...

Speedo Problems
This is a general response regarding my connection with speedo fixing solutions refered to by Dennis above. For the configurations being used by Dennis and myself, the credit for coming up with the concept belongs to a friend of mine, Daniel Kirk, who is also using the same setup. There is a long st...

Starter
Gman My money is on the starter solenoid. It may not be getting sufficient voltage and current to make internal connection to power up the starter. Check ignition supply to relay for solenoid. If it doesn't have one, install a relay from your ignition supply to the solenoid and source the power from...

ALFA GTV6 GP You're right. I should pull my head in. You know, do a vanishing act like the turtle. Asking me to do a kit is easy enough. What I find on this forum is that it is a site that has mostly guys who want to have a go at doing things for themselves. (and fair enough too) However sometimes t...

Upfront. Two things you don't need on an Alfa. 1 Power steering unless you got chicken wings for arms and if you dont have chicken wings, you soon will get them with power steering. Power steering is just a pandering to women who can't park cars. Forget it and save some horsepower. 2 ABS. For goodne...

When you can shift a 116 series like a 105 series you know you have reached the holy grail-you're cookin' with gas man!!
Until then it's just a wooden spoon in a jelly bucket.

John,Mats,
With the intake moved to the RHS, it means you cannot use the original air cleaner set up (if that is going to be an issue)
