Alfa romeo 156 3.0 V6 (the real GTA?)

[AlanV6]

Some reinforcement now that there is no floor, and connected to the subframe too, because it flexes a little under heavy load (not anymore!)



nice place for diffuser

[AlanV6]

Thanks, well for now just around 260hp. Engine is ready for some higher revs and should go to around 100hp/l. But i have to go to standalone ecu, for now i'm on stock ecu and engine is breathing through small stock intake so it doesnt run lean until mapping...

I really want the engine to last

[AlanV6]

And finnaly, i've been very lucky to get this. A friend had a project car but never finished it. He sold me (very cheap) CrMo cage for my project. He has to bring all the straight tubes and welding plates, for now i have main hoop and side ones.
Strong an very light stuff (13kg for the lot on the pic)

[AlanV6]

Just testing (and got another 9metres of crmo tube for other parts of cage)



bonnet catches

[AlanV6]

Well it's not gobna be like that, it will go more forward. Only the angle of windscreen is not perfect, but it will fit

[AlanV6]

Uff i have very few tools, luckily i have friends

I got thic cage and 9m of straight tube really cheap and i will modify it if necessary so it will fit. Still better then no cage like it was for the last two years
I just want to be safe in a rollover crash (i hope it never happens) and get some more rigidity into the car. It's still for amateur trackdays only

birthday present




-10kg and making place for cage

[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)

[AlanV6]

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

garrett gtb2260vk

[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 )

[AlanV6]

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

[AlanV6]

manifold flange modified
