Below zero? You live on the wrong side of your country.. the ancient Norwegian land was sunny and 4-5 degrees!

400km without any issues today. Drove from Toensberg to Lysekil and back. I adjusted the manual Dawes device to ca 1,1 bar boost and will run with it like this a while. The car is now washed and parked in the barn. Maybe I'll take it for a spin if the weather allows before I go to work for a couple of weeks again.

I did... But It is hard to know exactly if the flange is correct or not. Anyway, it worked out like this, and it is a lot better than with the catalytic converter on...
-
Yap! It is nice that the car does not have "athsma" anymore... Look forward to test it. We had to weld from 2,5" to 2" because the flanges were a bit hard to get hold of. I had to order a TS ragazzon centre section to get the flanges I needed to the back box.

Yesterday the work with exhaust was completed. We manufactured our own De-cat pipe, and fitted it. The result is huge! Nice crisp V6 Busso sound, reminds me a bit of 155 2,5 V6 sound. Throttle response is wayyyyyy better! I will test the car today. Hopefully the thermostat and ABS sensor arrives this week. I will take the car to a trip to Lysekil tomorrow if things are working out fine today. Some pictures:

Nice 75! I used to own two. The wheels you had on it looks just like the one I had for winter tires. Momo Star

Today the main focus was to modify the seats. I dislike the position that the seats are stock. So I took the drivers seat out and started to rip the leather apart to get the "spacers" off: After almost two hours using some tips from this guide: http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-gtv-and-916-spider/159353-lowering-the-seats-in-2001-gtv-2.html This was a major improvement! I gained a little bit more headroom, and more support for the legs. I felt that the seat also hold me much better in place. I used three 8mm washers from BILTEMA on the middle bolt and one at the rear. The reason is that there is a part of the metal on the bottom seat frame that will rub against the sliding rails...

Update: New exhaust bend from rear cylinder bank is welded in. This was NOT as easy as we thought, but we did the best out of it. Old bend: New welded in: Boost gauge fitted: Indicator stalk repaired: This was the broken spring that caused my Bella to use the left turn signal as she decide... Getting back togehter:
-
Update: We welded a new bend for the exhaust from the rear cylinder bank and to the turbo. I guess this is familiar to all TB owners that this pipe is damaged. I forgot my camera in the garage, but will post some pics tomorrow!
-
Hahahaa Of course! But with kamasa socket. It's not that cool actually. It's chilly But really, it is cold and dark. Only for storage. This Garage I have my car in now is in my friends garage that also house a rather tweaked 155, a Berlina on alfaholics chassis and a tuned Chevy Vega Estate Wagon
-
Hah. Naahh I doubt. I think it is due to the egde that I have to get over when storing the car in the barn.

Aaahhh.. Låsningsfria bromsar.. Makes sense. In my language it is blokkeringsfri bremser... But Filip, use your 1/2ft snow to test your diffbroms

Here is some pics from the current work: New wheel bearing rear. Easiest job I've ever done! under car> Here is the cat for late models TB.

1/2 ft? you are aware that we talk metric here? We are NOT americans

I started with the preparations for Gran Turisimo Event. First was to check witch ABS sensor that was causing trouble. In the front both had 15-1600ohm. But one is a bit broken physically on the hub. I will order new tomorrow. Then I started with the turbo gauge install. I have chosen to remove the clock and install the gauge in there. I will break the housing itself due to the new hole I need to drill for the gauge. I removed the glass on the boost gauge to make it as similar to the others as possible. Here is some pictures from the gauge. Tomorrow I will remove the catalytic converter and buy the necessary parts to fabricate a "dummy". I will also need to find a way through the torpedo-wall. If not I ends to drill ha hole and make a bulkhead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice write up on the calipers! In Norway some are making their own alcohol. Called hjemmebrent, or 9-6 (from 96%alcohol) hehe Other than that we're famous for "akevitt" (Aqua vita) which is liquor from potatoes. Actually very good to rich food!

Hehe
