Alfa romeo 156 3.0 V6 (the real GTA?)

[AlanV6]

Test fit (lip spoiler made of some plastic profile)



I managed to mount the oul cooler more perpendicular to the road for better airflow, and made some "intake" around it from 0,5mm alu plate. Installed hazard lights too




I'm playing with idea of some led lights for front, i really dont need them for trackdays, but just trying how would it look...

dirty girl

[AlanV6]

I made her a strutbar so she doesnt twist too much








third connection on the firewall




And some big air filter

Trackday yesterday! It was fenomenal, i had minor crash with another car (he didnt see me passing) but nothing that some ductape couldnt fix

no dyno figures, just 0-200kph time on my previous gtv, stock 26secs after mods 21secs.

Well it's meant to be a race car so no interior

Over the winter she will get some wider arches (like these)




Right now i'm making new rear arms 5cm longer aluminium pieces with unibals (left and righthand thread so it will be adjustable "on the fly")








Front will be more interesting as i want to make longer upper arms (lower are already longer and adjustable) and alu spacers for halfshafts...[/QUOTE]

[AlanV6]

Thanks! Engine is a gem, i love it!



did some testing today

before



after (+20mm spacer will be mounted)

comparison



weight saving

[AlanV6]

Thanks!

Quick not so good photoshop:

[AlanV6]

hehe well it will be alot cheaper and probably not that fast

[AlanV6]

Well it just looks like battered old alfa, engine is like new and tuned, suspension and all other mods are 1 year old and ofcourse the weight or lack of it has a big impact on handling and performance - 1100kg with half tank of gas.

[AlanV6]

Arms done! And they have right and lefthand threads so i can adjust them "on the fly"



arches




testing fitment and position (and lowered her another 2cm)

[AlanV6]

Thanks, well the plan is to get her to 1100kg with me and half a tank. Ofcourse this will require fiberglas bonnet and fenders and some more cutting of metal

[AlanV6]

[AlanV6]

I still wonder sometimes wtf am i doing
But with every trackday i'm convinced i'm doing it right!

I got some used rear left quarter panel in same colour, so i can fix the "dent" i have on mine.

[AlanV6]

Happy new year!

[AlanV6]

under 1100kg now

[AlanV6]

well that was the plan, mad and fast
