Talk about perches, how ya doin Bird Brians?

Listen a got a tip for ya. You know how you went to engineering school and they filled your head with all those numbers and stuff, unfortunately when they did that everything you learned in primary school geography fell off your cranium shelf. You see, the land of OZ has no monkeys, gorrillas (except in football) chimpanzees or any of their mates. You continue to make reference to the wrong continent. That's Barry land ya Moo. We have kangaroos remember !

So to restore some normal function to your cranium, here's the good doctor's tip (MD remember). Next time you go to the servo to pump your tyres, stick the air hose in your left ear and put in about 35psi and make sure you plug it with a good sized cork. Just tell your friends its your new dress accessory 'cause you have stopped wearing that earing. Anyhow, I digress... now that you actually have something in your head, please feel free to make use of it. Oh, yeah also take three aspirins a day being a standard MD script. If you don't need 'em, take them anyway, they are bound to ward off something in the future...BTW the next time you wanna talk to me, make an appointment will ya, there's a good boy.

Hey Jethro or Cangaroo Dundee or whatever it says on your collar, I have some interested buyers from a Swiss research institute, impressed with your (heheh)brain ( :?: ...)They're offering top dollar for it, they say its the only brand new specimen they could locate, still completely unused!! You obviously have no use for it so sneeze carefully and store it in a contact lens case. :lol: :lol:

Greetings fellow patients!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

MD:Do not worry!
In comparison to what i have already heard in person by JimGreek, all of his last comments sound like a sweet nursery song in my ears!!!
As far as your reaction is concerned my opinion is that you should stop being sooo nice to him and start making him to face the bitter truth:
He should sell all his belongings immediately and move Down Under, where after some bottles of Foster's and a few AC-DC LPs will start to think clearly and

BUY A GTV!!! :twisted:

Any way i'll probably meet him tomorrow so i have to rest both my body and my brains in order to withstand another of his epical proportioned 6-cylinder preachings!!!
See you later alligators...

That's it, your a$$ is grass and I'm the lawnmower! :lol: Call your relatives and bid them goodbye, tomorrow is your last day on earth, sucker! Your behind will be in orbit as of 14:00 local time, after you have paid for lunch,heheh! :twisted:
God created the world one cylinder at a time, and when he was done with six,he rested for a day! That means 6+1= 7 days per week! This is solid proof he was driving a 6 cylinder car!! :roll:
Lets not hear any more crap from heretic 4cyl infidels :twisted: :twisted: You clowns ever heard of a 5 day week?? Even MD wouldn't think of that one!

Zissis,

I have to be careful. I don't want to be responsible for importation of contraband contaminants into my homeland. We have half the Greek population living with us now. They are wonderfull and beautifull people. But the thing is, they have been carefully screened. Reject Greek engineers is not something we are currently looking for in our workforce.

I do hear there are some openings for mechanical engineers in our well appointed sewage treatment works and if he is quick maybe he could get a nose in.. or so to speak.

If you are thinking along these lines JK, call on me for a character reference, I am happy to help you out buddy. :D

Small tip: If you get the job, make sure you have lunch off site.

Re: Italian Princess in Greece!!

Post by x »

Hi guys!

Here are some updates on the Italian Princess after a long period of silence...

1.MSD HVC Ignition fitted:Awesome spark and instant starting (but it melted the distributor rotors for fun until we modified some with thicker wire and epoxy)

2. STACK ST200 tachometer: Way expensive but you will fell in love the first time you see one working hard...

3. Alfa 75 Gearbox (Thanks to JK for sourcing it and repairing the 25% LSD): A whole new experience in terms of car behaving through the gears... i have already scrapped my previous GTV 2.0 transmission and i am not returning back!

4. 2,2 turns steering rack (Thanks to Jarmo in Finland): The feeling of driving a real racecar (along with the muscle workout in Athens traffic jams... but i could not have it any other way!)

5. Custom made adjustable front strut brace: First impressions are very positive as the car now feels more solid especially in hard turns...

6. Front caster rod rubbers replaced with custom made ones from Ertalon material.Definite improvement while braking hard and i believe an equal (if not better) and far easier solution than ball joints.

7. Stainless steel 60mm OD two muffler exhaust from a local historic racer (although a new manifold is on the top of my to do list now): More 'pull' from any revs (was i that bad in terms of exhaust performance...)

8. Oil catch tank: Nice touch (the engine bay stays oil free also...)

and finally ladies and gentlemen:

THE SPEEDOMETER FIX!!!


After 13 years of GTV ownership i am proud to state that i have now a speedometer that reads correctly and i repeat CORRECTLY, after of course
a) i figured out at last how this labyrinth of different instruments, transmission sensors and amplifiers works and
b) using the SGI-5 from Dakota digital (these guys are of near holy status in my books) as mentioned in the forum and wiring it all up myself (eat your heart out JK!!!)

More to come, together with the long awaited dyno session...

May the Alfa force be with you!

See ya! 8)
