    This is the result. Looks very OEM. The insulation arrived very quickly and the price was great. 

     

    I am waiting for the new intake runners and some other bits and the engine will be complete. Next step is the interior which is a rather large step :D

    Sorry Bruno, I have missed your post.

     

    I have made the console myself. It's actually wrapped in carbon fiber, but you could easily make one completely out of carbon fiber. Maybe a future project if we have interest.

    I have ordered a tool for extracting terminals from Junior Power Timer connectors that my GTV has loads of. Then I can continue with replacing the sleeves. 

     

    Has anyone replaced the firewall insulation? Mine was damaged a while ago and I have tried replacing jus the top part with some material used for ventilation insulation that works pretty good, but it doesn't have the visual quality of the OEM insulation, so I have ordered some off eBay and hopefully it will arrive soon. 

    I have ePer from 2014. and the original insulation is possibly available to purchase. Do you think i could replace it with the engine in car?

     

    New coolant tank was installed finally. I have bought it more than two years ago :D

     

    Also, you will notice the red silicone hose that connects the filter to the AFM. The original one was not too good so I have replaced it with a universal 15º hose and it works well.

    Our friends over at Torque7 wanted to offer you the opportunity to take part in a group-buy of their specially designed intake runner sleeves for our Busso V6 engines!

    Typically these sleeve sets will retail at 90€, however right now, only for the upcoming two weeks (till 7th of April), Torque7 are willing to offer members a rolling-discount dependent on the number of users looking to purchase a set.

    If we have enough interest from you guys these kits could work out very cheap in comparison to their RRP.

    The group buy will work in the following way:

     

    • Torque7 have offered a base discount of 5% for this group buy
    • The group buy is limited to a maximum of 30 units
    • For every user that subscribes to the deal an additional 1% discount will be made available to everyone.

     

    So, if we have, let's say, 15 orders, we will have a 20% discount.

     

    Here some information on the sleeves.

     

    A set of silicone replacement sleeves (6 pcs.) for most Alfa Romeo "Busso" V6 engines. 
    Can be used with the original hose clamps therefore creates a very sleek original OEM look. 
    Will outlast the original sleeves and will not tear after many repeated removals. 

     

    Sleeve 60513867 is suitable for 44mm intake runners found in:
     

    Alfa Romeo:

    • 147 GTA 3.2L;
    • 156 GTA 3.2L;
    • 166 3.2L/3.0L;
    • GT 3.2L;
    • GTV 3.2L/3.0L;
    • Spider 3.2L/3.0L;
    • 164 3.0L 24V Q4/3.0L 24V QV (not suitable for 3.0L 24V LS (US spec);

     

    Lancia:

    • Thesis 3.0L 24V;
       

    Sleeve 60513179 is suitable for 39 mm intake runners found in:
     

    Alfa Romeo:

    • 166 2.0L turbo;
    • GTV 2.0L turbo;
    • Spider 2.0L turbo;
    • Spider 3.0L 12V
    • 164 3.0L 24V/3.0L 12V/2.0L turbo (not suitable for 3.0L 24V LS (US spec);
    • 155 2.5L;

     

    Lancia:

    • Thema 3.0L 12V;

    Fiat:

    • Croma 2.5L.

     

    The sleeves will be available in black (for an OEM look) with or without branding. You can use your original clips as well.

     

    There is an extra thick option for your custom Turbocharged or Supercharged project (not compatible with OE hose clamps). Order this extra thick option to prevent the sleeves from popping due to huge boost pressures! Price of this thicker option is 18€ more (108€) and the same discount rules apply.

    Regarding ordering. 

     

    Deposits will have to be made to Torque7 as these are made per order. There is no stock. Amounts as high as 10€ would be enough just to ensure that we really have the exact amount of orders as on the list. Deposits will be made by Paypal and you will receive an invoice from Touque7. When the group buy ends you will be charged the remaining amount (which will depend on the number of orders).

    Just a quick update.

    I have started work on the car. FINALLY.
    First thing I did was to replace the injector connector sleeves that were split into 10 pieces each. When I got to the last one it had to break so I've ordered a new one on eBay and am waiting to have it delivered to finish the work.

    As I had mentioned before, my car had LPG which was (thankfully) removed and I was left with a problem with heater matrix pipes. They are unavalable new so I will have to get a set made locally.

    Anyway, I really miss the car and the fun and sound it makes and hope to get it running soon.

    I do my best to keep everything running and there was an update of the shop software that has broken some of the functionality lately.

    I really cannot be responsible for lost packages, especially if posted twice! Full amount was refunded.

    I really am on vacation, our supplier was away as well, but I've managed to get all items delivered to me and posted from where I am (beatuful Dalmatian coast :)) with free tracked priority shipping.

    Hopefully it will reach you by tomorrow and thank you for your patience.
