Yesterday, I talked to a nice guy which apperaed to be an alfisti with quite serious alfa collection, he has offered me such servo for circa 35 Euros. Quite decent price I think. OT, Mats, And as far as linguistic similarities are concerned know it's the same thing with such words like "kula&qu...

Mats, thanks you're so kind :oops: :D luckily I'm "getting along" with the color.... till the restoration :twisted: Billy, bought her for 2000 euros, but I mean seriously, when i look underneath the car I keep wondering how the hell is she holding it; lots, lots of rust. The rims are the 1...

Great guys! Thanks! That's exactly it! Sorry for the word term "servo" which might have been misleading, I just thought that since it's certainly not a Polish word, and as it is with most of automotive vocabulary, it has to be derived from English :oops: Do you think that brake booster can...

Thanks. Mats, this may very well be the original alfa color but I'm pretty sure that the car was originally painted red - take a closer look at 3rd pic from the bottom, see this red chip? I tried to make photos at such angle so peeling paint is not too visible 8) The situation is worse especially in...

GTV6, ex Zender, turning into a racer

So here she's. Bought her 2 months ago or so, in Germany, it's '85 GTV6 Zender edition, as you can see the car requires restoriation, which hopefully will commence in summer. Couldn't expect more for the price, but the car lacks some decals -look at scudetto :( and has to have the job done on suspen...

I think that you'll have to look for tuning parts for german cars beemers, VW's. It's very polular to fit "clear" lights into these cars. As GTV6 front turnisgnals are nothing exotic in form I think it would be pretty easy to find something fit the GTV. Try looking at Hella for starters. R...

Haha! I've been driving the car for week so far and it's such a blast to drive! The third garage (Bosch authorized service) - it was like chalk and cheese in comparison to previous ones. Here they called me every day so I was in the know about everything, they even called me if it is ok to import pa...

Need new servo...

Well, servo on my GTV6 is dead, and my question is, can I swap servo from 75/Milano? Are they the same? Will it be a bolt-on install? How much would such part cost? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pete

Murray the injector is fine, I took off the intake hose, opened fully the throttle, whlie my father was cranking the engine. When connected, there was a lovely mist of fuel filling the plenum, and when disconnected no fule was injected. Guess I did all what was possible. I'll start looking for the p...

Murray I did it already. Disconnecting the cold start injector won't do. Hower I managed once to start the engine after cranking it for 12 seconds or so and it was running very poor - not on all cylinders. Matt, yes I noticed that the one of the sparks has different number on it. I'll have to ask th...

Ok, I was quiet for a while cause i was testing the car. I picked it up on Thursday, and it was fairly ok. The only bad thing was very low idle rpm namely, at 400~500 rpm, and I'll have to deal with it also. She was also ok on Friday (if I exclude the fact that the fuel hose leading to the cold star...

This is not happening. What have I done? Was my karma really so bad in previous life? The "electroboyz" gave up yesterday, said that everything SEEMS to be fine with the electronic part of the engine, but they just can't find out why the engine isn't working. From what he said it you could...

Just talked to the dude from the garage and, they found that car runs on mega rich air/fuel mixture, and said that the problem can be attributed the AFM or the injectors. I'm just glad that they found what is wrong, and now solving the problem will be easier. @ Steve Well from my vast experience wit...
