right the 1st problem i have is the car overheating, ive taken the t/stat out to see if that solves it which it didnt, i suspect it to be a head gasket problem. the question is if the head gasket was gone would this mean it would be a pig to start? it keeps turning and turning, sometimes a cough of ...

2 b honest i quite like the tramonts i have now, but i like the look of the gold bolts.

Great project dude, been thinking about a project like this for my cab. Will look awesome when finished. Where did you get the bodykit from? not sure where it came from, saved it from my m8s car that was going to scrap, so lucky to get it, i have done some research into the kit and have found out i...

u don't wanna know....... i had to sell my alfa to get a set

are you giving it some bite to match the bark? i not sure how to go about the engine swap yet, its a 320i at the moment, but not sure how much work involved 2 get a bigger lump in. anythin i can throw in without altering the wiring? not a fan of messing about with the cables under the bonnet........

this is one of the rears, i have only refurbed one front and one rear so far

and here is one of the fronts

not as wide as mine

i currently own a fiat van, have had 3 fiat cars previous to an alfa 147, then the e30, and have very little complaints. obviously the odd thing will go wrong on them but nothing serious. i personally happen to love fiats and hate ford and vauxhall, so everyones opinions will obviously be different.

What exactly are you doing? Re-shelling the car in your avatar pic?

yes the car i had was a completely rotten 323i b plater that was well beyond repair

magpie wrote:whats the base car your useing???

its a 320i

its not a rieger kit, it is the testarossa kit as mentioned above, but i am modifying the bumpers slightly. i am almost finished so will get pics up when bumper is complete. as regards to the wheels, the fronts are 12.5 inches wide and the rears are 14 inches wide. they are a complete bitch to get t...

found this behind my old wing taking it off, any1 know where it could have come from, it looks like oil. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/tomjohnston/beemerwing1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/tomjohnston/beemerwing2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/tomjohnston/beemerwing...

cheers thanks for the advice, want to keep the 320 in, an engine swap is a hefty job. i think it goes quite well already for a 2 litre. maybe further down the line ill do a conversion.

i think you mean the one i have for my project. i will find some pics. if it is the one you mean as far as i know it is called the testarossa kit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/tomjohnston/wideboy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/tomjohnston/lastouting.jpg http://img.photobucket.c...

gota replace the head gasket on my 320, was thinking of having the head ported and polished while its off. will there be a noticable difference?

cheers

The idea is to smack the spanner HARD with a hammer. If that still fails (e.g. some muppet has loctited it on), take a length of 20 - 25mm flat bar, drill a 6mm hole in one corner, remove one of the pulley bolts, and bolt the bar in place, using a slightly longer bolt , then turn the pulley until t...

well my viscous coupling on the 320 seems to have had it so how do i get it off, i have tried pinching the belts together to stop the pulley rotating but it is still slipping

. are there other ways of removing it??

any1 got a guide to remove the blower as think mines siezed too.

once i got the 320 back to mine, noticed the fan belt had come off. replaced it and now the alternator doesn't seem to be charging the battery. the battery warning light is not on on the dash, but could this still be the alternator fubar? the cars been standing for about a year with a dead battery s...
