Hi guys, I am looking for a few parts to kick off this project of mine:

1. Coilovers - BC/Maxtrac/FK
2. Side skirts, preferably the Zender side skirts that came with that whole Zender kit with the arch farings etc.
3. GTA headlights - forget this I just bought a new set off eBay for a great price.
   
4. Roof rails or racks for a Sportwagon
5. 17" GTV teledials, swop for 18" GT jetfins
6. 3.0 intake runners
7. Wooden 6spd gearknob

I am giving a week's time to search for these parts, the sideskirt and headlights and coilovers I can import, but I'd much rather buy them here if possible. Any one have any of these parts or know where I can get please let me know.

:smash:

Which Chris? Which Alfa?

Chris from Alfa Omega.

I'm patiently waiting for coilovers to magically rock up for sale.

Lance you could check out the Cape Stance crew for these: http://stancewords.stanceworks.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/airvscoils1.jpg

Apparently they get them at good prices from somewhere. Then you make so: http://www.autolifers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Autolifers-Alfa-Hydraulics-Peden-61.jpg

Veez did you buy it yet?

Let's ask for a group discount...if we get two more guys I skeem we can get 10-15% off...ordering 4 kits is better than 1.

 

[veez156]

No not yet Giuli...still need 2 do upper n lower arms 1st. That quote was done in Feb

Ok, I'm in for a set for my 156 racer

 

[Guili]

Ok, Gertie and I confirm, Veez do you confirm because I'm chatting to the guy now.

 

[veez156]

You guys go ahead 4 nw?

 

[veez156]

I'll do a group buy later on 4 my 156 and the GT

 

[veez156]

Maybe 4 the 147 too

 

[Master Paul]

you will be surprised at the maxtrac

 

[Eric Metz]

Is it really that good ? I am considering wht shocks to put on the GT and Maxtrac coil-overs is a cheap-ish alternative, just not sure if it is on par with Koni, bilstein or even D2

D2 is the cheapest of the lot you just mentioned, and even that is rather pricey IMO.

I'll believe Paul for saying it is good having had it for a decent while. The only question to answer is on longevity....
Think about OEM replacement pricing - the Maxtrac is in that ball park. If it lasts for just more than the OEM replacement time... You score


EDIT: I've started to hear of Koni's failing, I am not all that convinced of Koni (especially for the price of the higher end stuff)

 

[Master Paul]

And D2's are really really hard. would not use them in a street application. My statement was that for a cheapish coil over, i am pleasantly surprised at the performance

 

[Speenvark]

I might also be interested in a set for the 147

 

[Guili]

I don't know about the Maxtrac's now...

A digital Air setup for with proper AirLift(firestone) bags on current shock struts, with proper air lines, proper VIair pumps and proper controller...is R26k.

Maxtrac now is R6700...if I save for for 5 months and not buy a single car part, or tekkie or live large, I can get an Air ride kit for the 156 Wagon this year still...its controllable, very good drive, very good looks and its just bad ass...I think I'll go this way...

@Gertie and Rudi I'll still get details from Cheslin:thumbup:
