Re: How reliable are Alfas (Stellantis) new generation of engines

How reliable are Alfas (Stellantis) new generation of engines

Quickie for all members. I’m currently in the market for a new daily driver. So far The short list includes an Alfa Giulia. We would like a QV but that maybe wishful thinking. (But not out of the question) The most likely choice would be a Veloce 2.0 turbo. Apparently these are a 2.0 4cyl 16v turbo....

Re: Anyone got a 1500 block?

Funny you should mention that Shrew. I’m actually thinking of reworking the 1500 (1525) I built in to a 1600. It’ll actually be 1634 as the 1500 is 85mm (1 mm OS)

Hi Tony. From my rapidly fading memory the most often fitted to UK market cars were indeed Bosch. I’ve got a pair of Cibie Airport to put on mine.

Andrew. I agree with John on the “free gratis” front. Surely it’s worth a cheeky EBay listing. You should get a decent price for it And certainly too good to break for parts

Thanks Tim Great bit of nostalgia thanks for posting. I remember the #75 Sud well. I believe it would be circa 1975 that car was one of the first Suds to be prepared. Dad regularly came home in it even when fully caged and stripped out as regs allowed. And I was often dropped off at school in it com...

Trackday

I know this idea had been discussed before but how many of you would be interested in attending a forum track day ? I think somewhere like donnington as it’s pretty central to the country. But feel free to suggest other tracks.

Thanks for the update Shrew. I don’t know if anyone else noticed but it was originally a Westune supplied car (our logo was on the plates). Well chances are I actually made the number plates on that car. when I left school and started in the business it was one of my first jobs. Dad showed me the ro...
