As a owner of a totally stock 156v6 im really enjoying this...

[Oilchange]

I got one too so very interested too

[Vapour]

absolutely batst mad, good work! any more updates?

[AlanV6]

Some updates and work for the long winter

I would have to respray her and weld some rust spots but then something better happened
There was a 156 v6 y.2003 for sale imported but never registered so couldnt be legaly on the road.
I bought it as it has a lot of nice things i could sell and have a clean shell to swap my old one.





selling some bits already








i found a bargain coilovers bilstein b14 pss so i can finally get rid of my koni sport kit (one was leaking badly over a year)

The old shell is still in action
Friends invited me to autoslalom, i quickly changed front schocks to bilstein coilovers and action!
Car is fast really fast and stable, i could get on podium if i could make 3 good runs. Well no luck as the best run (on video) wasnt properly timed (tech error)
I'm still very happy because it was a great day













fastest lap

Nice work, full respect to you for fabricating your own parts. I track day my V6 156, do you have any problems with the manifolds cracking after wrapping them? Im after those floor to subframe strengthening plates, does the plate just bolt up to the subframe using existing bolts/holes?

[AlanV6]

plates bolt to one bolt of front arm and two holes on subframe (mine didnt have them)on the chasis i welded strenghtening plates and taped M10 thread in.
I have to fabricate a lot of pieces because they dont exist or are very expensive.
Manifolds are ok (for now )

Hi Alan,

I have really enjoyed your thread. Very inspiring. Keep up the excellent work!

[AlanV6]

started with some work, the hardest thing is to change the actuator and fit the lever in right position...

[AlanV6]

manifold flange modified



ready to install

stock 100 to 200 is 27ish, after first remap it was 24 and now with gtb2260vk 18.5s!!!

[davebem]

Impressive stuff, I think the 166 deserves its own thread, always thought the 2.4 had lots of potential.

[AlanV6]

yes 2.4 is really good engine!

went to trackday grobnik again

Like the upgrade on the 166! Big 5 pot diesel, must be a joy to do long trips with

[AlanV6]

Yes, its no struggle doing 240kph all day
And pulling power is great.

[contax]

I really enjoy reading it .
Keep it up !!

[AlanV6]

another 2.4jtd remap with more boost ofcourse and some other changes in top revs



from 18.5s 100 to 200kph time dropped to 16s
250hp cars have similar times so i'm there somewhere and happy for now.

Car looks fantastic Alan! I don't like that wrapped Subaru though...
