Not yet . Recently I was at my hometown with the car and with my friend the welder have been done some visual checks and thought about what what have to be done. I'm still waiting for my turn in his garage. He is very busy and have many "urgent" projects, but my time is coming . For sure the work on the car will not start this month, which will be the last active month of the car before winter sleep. About the other not so interesting things about the car. Unfortunately my speedometer is still not working constantly . Next week will be made more attempts for resolving of this problem . After installing of boost gauge and some tests on extra urban and highway driving I have saw lower values on the gauge. But on latest long journeys I have saw good maximum values ~ 0.9-1.1. I have seen max reading of ~1.15 bar at overboost and normally max pressure ~ 0.95 bar. Maybe the reason for these values is my now almost completely missing flexi pipe . I can hear exhaust gases escaping in the area bellow my foots and my car is more noisy now. Another thing about boost gauge is it reading with engine turned off on different elevation. In the city where I live it shows ~ 0.05-0.1 in vacuum (average 550m), in my hometown (400m) it shows 0 (in the upper part of zero line).

Nice photos and nice alfas , but I see also cars from other manufacturer in background. P.S. Have you done some modifications to mesh and grilles in front bumper. I have to look to some close picture of original bumper.

That car is inspiration to me .

Like I sad earlier I bought and use 4 mm internal diameter pipe between plenum and diverter valve and it fit just fine with standard hose clamps . I don't know for pipes around boost solenoid. About the speedometer problem - after removing of the differential (at my request) the problem was the two fixing "pins" on gear on differential which was broken. My mechanic tried to remove the bearings (to install new gear) with no success and made some custom preparation (there is word on bulgarian for that , but how to explain that on english - improvised repairing, which is done with simple materials and tools, which normally are not used for such things ). The "shaft" which is connected to the sensor (and for which we thought that is broken and grind in the gearbox) was at the bottom of differential housing. The transmission oil is not changed for now. It will be changed in the future (probably next year) after some more tests/driving. And the result is that I have working speedometer (for now), but have driven very little after that. So will see if it will work constantly, like it should be and of course correct. And now I have speedometer sensor, shaft connected to the sensor,gear on differential (new) and new "performance" transmission oil. Soon there will have surprise about car setup. Stay tuned ...

So the car is repaired . Is the other GTV to a friend of you?

Wow That people have to be . So sorry about the car , it would have become a very nice car, but ...

These are stylish alfa romeo wheels and in my opinion are special enough . Paso is big wheels men, we know that .

Cunha welcome here ! So you own all these cars right now, nice collection . I think is good to have different type of cars - coupe, cabriolet, hatch, saloon - for each occasion specific car . How is the GTV with big busso ?

Great collection! All cars looks good, but for me Spider is the cherry on the cake .

Nice car Thanos ! Stopping can be exciting also you know it . I see that you have stayed with the original red color of calipers, that was my opinion considering the color of your car . You have used discs from later GTAs and OEM Porsche pads, right?

Here is one very nice song In the video have nice alfas and in the description is written: "All cars and photos belong to members of polish Alfa Romeo club "Alfaholicy.org" ". Maybe some polish member of this forum will recognize his car on some picture .

Hi and welcome to the forum . Wow what a list of cars . You are definitely a fan of Alfa Romeo and 916 series. Enjoy the forum . P.S. for attach of picture in the topic you have click on "Use Full Editor" and then you will see "Attach Files" field with "Choose Files..." button (there is topic about this in the forum I think).

Welcome here . I like very much yellow GTVs and Spiders, so please show us some pictures of your car .

The GTV is TB, your girlfriend/wife had new Mito TB (if I remember correctly) and is it that Giulietta again TB (or this is TBi). Interesting color. In my opinion you have to keep the car which make you happiest and you like the most . How you compare the three alfas around you? P.S. How you decide to buy this model and car?

Offtopic: Hmm Charlee is AA-lfa your girlfriend/wife ?

. You are not a man, you are a alfa man ! Absolutely exceptional car! I have seen two R.Z. (Roadster Zagato) in Bulgaria - red and yellow, but haven't seen S.Z. a live. P.S. Some time ago I have wish to a friend of mine, which is "biggest" alfista which I know in person, to have some day R.Z./S.Z. .

nice ! I like the "Alfa Romeo" text, it's very discrete and stylish. That will put exterior vision of the car to a new level .

Mmm shiny , but when you put you make topic about your car in this section of the forum you have to give more information for the car - spec, what more interesting done on it . And also to update this topic with new info about it.

Welcome to the forum . Very good looking GTV . You have made the natural 916 upgrade TS -> V6 . Your side repeaters are changed, right? What is the brand of the brake disc and are they very noisy? How is the car feel with GTA clutch and flywheel? GTA flywheel is single mass and lighter than standard, so the engine should rev more freely.

The link for Novitec coilovers that post credulone is actually KW Variant 1, from what I see and read. Afdaduden like Filip sad you maybe can change the springs. A softer one have to make a less "bouncy" kit. Do you know the spring rate of the springs in the FK Silverline X kit. The springs on coilovers kit are different than "normal" springs. You may ask FK for some variant of changing the springs . So Alfaduden you think to change your newly installed kit. Intrax is very expensive, some time ago I have found some prices for their kit, but lost the link.

It's sad for damaged wheels , I wish you fine restoration. These wheels are not bad at all, but aren't something special to me. Did you have them or bought it because of damaged wheels needs time to be repaired? I see that you haven't install brembo calipers yet. Your car will look much better with them and bigger discs and also will stop better .

How is the crankshaft? From some time I think to check and probably replace main and rod bearings at next oil change, just safety precaution .

And for the coming Q2 differential removal and installing new gear on the diff (if it is broken like I guess) I bought one of the best compatible transmission oil (I think that maybe the best) - Motul Gear 300. Here is some info - spec. This oil is for transmission and differential without locking (clutch/plate type diff). For locking differential there is Motul Gear 300 LS". When installing of Q2 and changing of transmission oil (not many km ago ) I don't have a chance to select oil, but now the things will be the other way . So very soon - "Installing of Q2 - part 2", hopefully last one .

Welcome to the forum . Both look drivable to me. What is that front spoiler on the red Spider? Is it Autodelta front spliter ?

Can you give us a little more info about engine repair - what was broken, what repair will include. Good luck with the car . P.S. I'm also interested on that GTV on the video. Can you give some more info, probably in another topic.
