I thought I would start a new thread so we can please stop posting in the "who's who in the alfa zoo" so we can keep it simple.

Lets rather do all the chit chat and ask questions in this post so as to keep the original thread intact and not completely hi-jacked:thumbs:

So to start off with;

Welcome BussoV6, Would love to see some pics of those lovely cars.

Alfasud1.5ti. Was the car always white...? You got to love the boxer sound?

[Master Paul]

whats happening with that GTA of yours? you know what it really needs??? My right foot.. on the loud pedal

 

[BeserkerGTA]

hehehe... last i heard from my brother yesterday that my bumper should be completed by this week latest and then going to do the alignment (caster and camber). Then want to run it around a bit in newcastle to make sure that it wouldnt die on me on the way back to jozi i donnot have a replacement car btw..so it needs to be kinda reliable lol any idea how nuch of power i should expect the car to loose at our current altitue here in jozi...and just another thought, what is the real effect of the grade of feul that we use.. cos it becoming more and more rare to find a garage up here that sells 95 grade unleaded feul... most of them sell the lower 93 grade, im certain this would kill my car.

 

[Master Paul]

most petrol stations have 95.. almost all shells do

93 to 95 in my experience makes a big difference. I'll only run my 147 on 95. It can be had at enough places to be able to demand it. I just don't use stations that don’t keep it. I often run the Jetta on a 50/50 95 and LRP mix. Even that has a noticeable difference in power.

That's true hey, just look at the insurance quotes you get...
I'm paying around R400 for my car, that falls under "sports car" AND "classic car". Plus being as young as I am ( and only recently becoming legal). it all counts against me, yet I have full cover, did I say I don't require (nor do I have) an Alarm system????:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

95 is best - the money difference is small anyway. There is enough garages with it, I just plan my trip home / work a bit different when it comes close to fill-up time.

Nearest Shell to me is about 4km, always go there even though there's a Sasol less 1 km away from me

Gotta love the coast for freely available 95 and nice air! scrgdk, where did you get your valuation certificate? Got mine at UMS in Cape Town - they and Motostars have some sweet classic rides...

 

[BeserkerGTA]

aahh.. awsome.. hmm, what about those octane boosters, how much does that add to the cars performance and does having it mix with your fuel for longer(like in a jerry can) kinda give better results? there must be some side effects though for adding that to your car

 

[Master Paul]

stay away from boosters unless you know what your doing.. these have additives that can stuff up your cats and cause detonation....
