156 (the real GTA project)
3
Well after the gtv crash, i searched for a v6 powered alfa to use my 3.0 engine in.
I got this nice black 156 2.5 v6 and she will be a good project car (in 2012)
Plans are, enigne from my gtv (slightly tweaked again, lightning the car a little and sort the suspension (and a lot of my own tweaks allround hehe)

Thanks for your input and camber/toe details, battery to the boot it is then.I dont really understand N/S front? If i saw right on some random pics the battery is in the left side of engine compartment from seating position. I would put it left rear, to get some more weight on that wheel. Ofcourse that will take some off the left front and when you sit in, right side of the car will be heavier. I still think it's good to take as much weight from the front to back as possible.
I have even lenghten the steering wheel mounting, so that i sit some 10-15cm more back (155 dtm style hehe)
About the tracking, yes right now i have toe out at rear (2mm on each side
Currently my setup is -2° camber at front, -1.9° at rear. Toe out front 1mm each and toe out rear 2mm each side. After i put 19mm rear arb and bushes i will put rear toe to 0.5mm open each side and camber (with camber bolts) to -1.5°, front will stay as is until i change the engine, at that time with subframe dismanteled i will mowe the lower arms another few mm forward and out a little to widen the track and get -2.5° camber at front. That should be good for trackdays
Keep up the good work, excellent thread mate, your still the only person I've ever seen 4 wheel drift a fwd car!
:thumbs:
I managed to 4 wheel drift almost the entire ringin a 155 albeit me driving like a berk rather then skill mind :lol:
:lol:
Thanks all!
Well today i put her in the air again I found out that on right side wheelbase is 5mm shorter than on left. So i made a center point on the rear subframe and measure from there all the points on front subframe. Subframe is straight and ok, but mounting holes for lower arms have 2-3 mm play and left arm is forward in holes right one is backward in holes.... I think i'll weld them to make them smaller so that screws will fit snugly.
Subframe will get aluminium washers that fit round a screw and into the hole so it wont move on load.

Firstly i thought that it was my fault and i didnt move both arms equally forward. But they are ok. Holes on subframe are loose and today i found out that rear metal bracket for big bush is a little bent. I guess my driving puts a lot of stress on suspension components Wil straighten it and reinforce it.
I will sort it out
Wil straighten it and reinforce it. I will sort it out
Might try something like that and see if it feels any better
The best way is to weld the subframe to car body. But then it's a little harder to dismantle it

Well she is straight now And i lowered her at the front so she sits nice now (still few kilos will go out on front and few in at rear)
And my order directly from Malasia went through Rear 19mm arb waiting for me at the customs, i can just say it was really cheap with postage and all

For now stock, then i will see if i need gta arb at front. I dont like stiff arb at front as it lifts the inner wheel too much.
Some race driver once said "in a fwd car you can not have too much rear roll stiffnes"

Just make sure you keep this one on the road then! I drove a 156 TS with just a GTA rear bar and it was happy to swing its tail..For now stock, then i will see if i need gta arb at front. I dont like stiff arb at front as it lifts the inner wheel too much.

As you probably know i like cars setup like that Even now i have 2mm toe out at rear (on each side!)
Ofcourse i will put toe to 0 and then fit arb. Then we will see... On sunday i'll go to a trackday again and this time on slicks
You work at Autolusso? I would need a good maf sensor F 00C 2G2 030, do you have any?

I'm at home now, so I don't have my part numbers list to hand, but is that the original 156 2.5 V6 CF3 air mass meter that you're looking for?As you probably know i like cars setup like that
