Re: How reliable are Alfas (Stellantis) new generation of engines
Thanks Tim. We’re looking at something 1-2 yrs old and really fancy a Giulia obviously I’d like to service it myself and if I can get the relevant info that doesn’t phase me. We’ve decided to let the Porsche go as it rarely get any use. We’ll be keeping the Skoda for local runs and trips to the Tip ...

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.

Re: My old sprint
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

Re: A bit of nostalgia
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...

Re: Race Retro 2024
For some reason I’ve never managed to get to RR. I’ve also heard that Autosport International has become a shadow of its former self which is a shame.

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.

Re: VFV 784Y
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...
