... More complex subject than it appears. A good, healthy bypass is way important for any street motor (not just an Alfa)--head gaskets will live a LOT longer,...
Erik and Greg, Thanks for the input. My first item to try is a 180-185 degree thermostat. Once I evaluate that then I may just go for the 2L water pump with...
I'm just curious which is a better race car platform since GTV's are so expensive now and Alfettas are so cheap. The transaxle design with inboard brakes,...
Alfettas are Heavier, suffer from that stupid driveshaft setup and a pretty rubbery gearchange... They also feel less chuckable. However they're probably...
The technical challenges of the 116 platform are formidable. Richard, Mike, Bill and Todd have all done it, but it's a real SOB. You've got to do your own...
i dont think the inboard brakes would be much of a benefit. less unspring weight...sure, but to cool them would be far more difficult (but not impossible) ...
I used to have an Alfetta that was built for time-trials, and later used as an autocross car. It is a heavier car, though you can get the weight down, like in...
I have a period article from one of those Brooklands Gold Portfolios that compared the US model then new Alfetta in 1975 to the GTV of 1974. 1975 was one of...
Peter,   I though the quote was something like "You cannot make a pig fly, but you can build a mighty fast pig." Who said that? Someone famous who...
The quote is from the late Bob Akin, who raced Porsche 935 race cars in IMSA. In an article in Road & Track magazine about his 935 race car, he was asked about...
Just my 2 cents. Do the Alfetta man! Everyone has a GTV. That being said, the 116, with its near 50/50 weight dist, set up properly (with all the little...
To be clear I was not considering a project, just curious after seeing this: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1461969492.html I have a '58 spider veloce...
One of the variables not mentioned in the comparison is the track. I time trial a 3.0 Milano that¹s not quite ³stock². I have definitely observed that the...
Peter, you aren't giving us GTV guys much credit! The best vintage GTV times are Road America are in the very low 2:40's. I think Peter Stark got down to...
"limited gear sets etc." There are lots of gear ratios available for "Racing Transaxles", and they are stronger than 105/115 type transmissions. Mike Cudahy...
... A long time ago I was helping Jon Dooley with some things for his brother's 1900 Touring. Jon sent me a homologation document showing that Alfa had pretty...
Wasn't trying to be argumentative regarding my comments about gear sets and torsion bars :). But you can buy off-the-shelf, brand new, ultra-close gears for...
With that said, I would LOVE to race Mike's EP Alfetta. Just don't think I could afford to talk him out of it! Erik It needs more track viability! Maybe...
I was going off the published VSCDA time sheets. I¹m sure there are faster cars out there. Same can be said of the 116 chassis too. Although Cudahy ...
Hi, all. New to the group and interested on any leads on a late 60s race car for sale. 2 liter engine preferred but not a requirement. Any potential leads...
Thanks for your quick reply, Jeff, but i really want to concentrate on a GT car. I did come across a Gulia in Florida, though, that seems to be a good car at a...
I have a '65 Giulia Sprint GT that I might sell. It was a Trans Am car in it's younger days. Today I run it as a Jr. Colan Stanley ... From: allsaints000 To:...
I have four Alfas. I really need to get it down to two. I just don't have time for all of them. If the Super sells, the Step Nose project will become a race...
