Whilst it's out

[brussels]

So, thanks to sprint88 I have instructions of how to drop the engine. General pimp up, belts, water pump etc will follow (given myself until May - yes I'm that incompetent!)

Think I've attached something below, what are your thoughts on the 'breathing' improvements in the article (gregs car) worth a shot? - I'm not so concerned about power as its a slow car anyway in modern terms but, the driving experience. Sounds etc. (Hope the upload worked, will find out in a minute)

That article brings back a few memories of owners and cars.

The principles of all that is mentioned in the article is sound, and largely doable on a small budget or even diy.

I say go for it, all of it, and some!

right! just need to run the article through google translate and see if the local alfa mechanic understands.... sometimes my life would be so much easier if I were back in the UK.

Englishman of limited language and mechanical knowledge!

Will keep you posted!
