I'm replacing clutch cover bearings on my GTV6. This outer bearing is the right size but the housing no longer provides an interference fit so the outer race slips. No es bueno. What are my options here? Any suggestions? The housing is a steel sleeve on the aluminium cover but removing it...

I just read this article at Jalopnik and made me mad. What is going to happen to new sold Quadrifoglios? Their beautiful sound will be killed? European Noise Regulations Are Forcing Sports Car Makers to Resort to More Fake Engine Sounds Exhaust or silencing systems with multiple, manually...

Just noticed that Squadra tuning can now enable "Race Mode" on "standard" giulia's, see : https://www.facebook.com/squadratuning/posts/2154850204613329 <quote> HOT NEWS! We zijn erin geslaagd de DNA "Race" setting te activeren bij een niet-Q Giulia. We zijn begonnen met de "normale" Giulia 2.0...

see here (nowt to do with me)...

Just looking up the stats for the new W Series Race car, turns out they are using an Italian race car ,the Tatuus F3 T-318 which uses the Alfa 1750 TBI pushing out 270BHP, just goes to show what a good engine it is.

The backdrop and the drone shots are as cool as the car. Sounds wonderful, too ? https://youtu.be/GPMXHqZeuEE Enjoy ?

Gets more interesting half way through

..what's the worst that can happen? Oh, that :(

Hi, The clear coat is peeling badly on my 156 race car and in order for me to start on my touring car inspired livery, I need to repaint it. Original colour was Alfa Rosso, but I'm considering a slightly deeper shade of red as shown in the attached photo. Does anyone have an idea of what the...

anyone ever mounted, or seen mounted, a race harness in an S2 Spider? I have a 3 point "rally harness" lying around and was planning to install it for a forthcoming outing to a track free practice session. I bought the required FIA base reinforcing plates but on having a look, I cant find...

Hi all, I am looking to fit 16 inch Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels to my 156 which I mostly use on track (but still road legal) . The wheels are 7 inch wide as opposed to the standard 6.5 inch. With the standard wheels having an offset if 41.5, would 38mm be the appropriate offset for the...

Can We Build A Race Car For £3,000? - Carfection saw this on youtube just now.

As the title really. For context, went out for a blast today on fairly quick but twisty and slightly damp roads. I still have the winter tyres on but it was about 8c anyway but I do find that under full power the rear squirms around a bit on the tread blocks. Anyway, initially I was in Dynamic...

Resurrection of a brutal race Berlina - GTAm arches have arrived! Hey all! So it seems I have problem. Or a condition. Some say I have a bunch of funny letters in a row kind of disorder.... I bought another one! After getting my Zender 166 "GTA" (Project Zender 3.0 166 "GTA") up and running...

Last weekend saw me and my long-suffering offspring at Race Retro at Stoneleigh Park. Lots to see and probably the best opportunity to get up close and personal with proper race hardware that you're likely to get. It starts in the car park. 20180224_120049 by keith hilton, on Flickr...

Owner is Steve Fletcher, 0798352156,7 he's asked me to put a post on the forums for his engine. He spent 3.5k on his 16v, 150 - 155 bhp (rolling road reads a little low) Its a class f engine built by Dave at Brunswick. It has seen the track twice. Please show interest here, spread the word and...

No live action today but quite a few nice Alfa’s

For those that have not already seen this, there is an eight page story in "Australian Muscle Car" magazine, on the Alfa factory prepared GTVs and Alfa 75 raced in Australia during the 1980s. Issue 99, December 2017.

Just throwing this out there in case anyone else is as daft as me. Any interest in forming a race team using scrap worthy and utterly beyond repair 156's? Write-off's, rust buckets, you name it. I'm planning on taking my busted JTD out on track days and possibly looking for a race series for a...

Hi all, I have decided that I want to convert my Brera S-V6 into a dedicated track car project. Now the reason for doing so is due to some damage that the car sustained to the front right of the car to the front bumper, bonnet and wings. This didn’t affect the car in anyway except visually and...
