Well I thought about the front, and having seen some different ideas on the "Sprint picture" thread, I went and bought this......

Hi Greek
A chap in Birmingham who was breaking an Alfetta GTV and I paid Ģ30 - I think he actually has another one that he is breaking - I can PM you his phone no but he is on e-bay with other Alfa sales (164 and a 75??)

Thanks , So Alfetta and GTV6 have the same dimension in front as Sprint? Because as i can see you didnt have to make any mods to fit..

Hi Greek
The splitter is only sitting in place - but it does look to be a very good fit so far....

A bit more progress as I have been working on the 164 petrol tank to use it for the 6C. I realised that it actually was a top and bottom welded together - so I am cutting the end off and having it re plastic welded so that it will fit low and back where the boxer engine was. This means that I retain the fuel system of the 164 complete. I will lose some tank capacity but I won't be going on long trips!!

My brakes are a little bit better (mine is the QV version, ABS and vent discs at the front, and solid discs at the back, not drums). But still it is not sufficient... A friend of mine put the callipers from a Porsche 911 993 on his 33 16v! Now it stops just fine

TFLG: Do you have any more information about that brake conversion using Porsche Calipers?? I'd be very interested to know more, ie mounting brackets etc. We all suffer from the dreaded brake fade, just some more than others...

I'm looking for the details, because now I'm not entirely sure, but I think the calipers are from a Porsche 993 or a 944 Turbo, the discs are from a Fiat Coupe Turbo, and the calipers mountings had to be made for the car...
But I'm going to try to find out for sure. I can't find pictures of the process, but I know I've seen them somewhere...
Nice, isn't it? |
