  1. Alfa 159, Brera & Spider
    Hi Guys, I am new to the Alfa scene. Always wanted one. Bought a 2010 159 2.0 JTDM 170 Ti. So far I have fully poly bushed the car. Full Bilstein suspension with eibach springs. Fully refurbed the Brembo brakes to factory standard. Removed the dpf, cat and blocked the egr off with an Alfatune...
  2. Alfa GTV & 916 Spider
    After a 4 year gap without having an Alfa V6 (I know, I know, I'm a traitor....) I can't wait any longer & am taking the plunge again. I had a GT 3.2 V6 after the GTV V6 but it just didn't have that rawness / soul / savage acceleration of the GTV V6. In fact, nothing ever has since. However can...
  3. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Was thinking really fancy getting rid of the back seat in the Gt and creating a clean carpeted race style look.....plus dont need rear seats and would make the car a tad lighter in weight. I dont mean a chop shop job either... properly done. Even thought of a chrome rear half roll cage or body...

    So you own a GTA, and you start to think about a second car. Something that is still fun to drive, but a bit more economical Something that doesn't cost much to buy (sub 1k) Something that you can fix at home Something that you would be happy to drive What is it? Me, MX-5 I think, but open...

    Evening All In my infinate wisdom I have decided to completely strip out my 2001 GTV & use it purely as a track day car & that got me thinking..... If You Could Change Just One Thing On The GTV, What Would It Be? I'll Start Us Off With Putting The Engine Behind The Driver! Mid Engine Rear...

  7. Alfa GTA
    How do you get a perfect seal on brake line joins? I'll need to open my braking system to fit new calipers sometime soon, and the joining procedure is the only bit I've not done before! Any pointers on how to join brake lines? Rough torque guides? As in nip up gently, yank tight like an ape(my...
  8. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    In January my cambelt snapped, 8 bent valves (2 inlet, 6 exhaust). Decided to do it myself and slowly but surely got it all apart, and all together again with no issues. The engine is running perfectly, sounds better than ever, however I have white smoke from exhaust manifold area and some...
  9. Alfa 147, 156 & GT
    Ok guys what if..... you were given unlimited financial resources, but you could ONLY use it on your GT to create the perfect driving machine!! I would have made a set of carbon fibre wishbones with magic bushes that never wore out!! I would fit the finest DSG paddleshift gearbox on the...

    Found this on the internet, a web site talking about perblems with diesel engines, interesting reading: The 2.0 also introduced issues that were unheard of on the 1.9. Head gasket failures, porous head castings, and oil pump drive failures to name a few. Plus the same issues that affected the...
  16. Alfa GTA
    Pulling away from traffic lights, just had an episode of alien foot syndrome, and completely cocked up the pull away. This seemed to result in massive clutch slippage. Was sitting in 1st, and then second, at 5k rpm and trickling away from the line. Got it into third, and a measure of control...
