Clean your car as much as you can and show up.

Too little time!
I keep it pretty clean and covered, so it will be as it is!
Oil leaks, torn seats and all!
Good bit is that her Birthday gift should arrive in time so she will be wearing something new and shiny... you know how Italian women are with a little glitter on!
I will slip my son $5 and he will vac the mats, and wipe the windows and that will be it!
Good news is that today I found hope I found the last reason that it always smells of gas!
The return gas line was cracked where it comes thru the body and onto the top of the tank!
Thank goodness for Pep Boys!
See you there!

For those of you who don’t know MAGNAFLOW will be doing a full stainless steel custom exhaust install to site member Kai Schorr’s 1967 GTV the day of the event for all to see. They have already done some pre-fabrication and a dyno test to get some real numbers of HP gains. We selected Kai's car since it is a very real world example of a mostly stock GTV that gets driven hard on a daily basis. The final HP numbers and article should be interesting to say the least.

The installation and dyno of his car will be done the event day and followed by a full write up here on the BB shortly after.

We will be having lots of fun so come on down and don’t miss it.

Simon,
You should organize a photo of AlfaBB'ers attending the event.

Simon,

I think I may be there, sans the "Tomato". Might have to lay low, being
a blasphemous heretic and all

I'll be driving the van down with my two boys, should be some fun father
son time looking at some Alfa's.

One question, will Magnaflow add Kai's exhaust parts to their inventory?
Or is this just a one time custom job?

I'm not entirely sure what MAGNAFLOW's intentions are at this point. We can only hope that they come out with some complete offerings for our cars. Perhapse we can let them know there is interest at the event.

See you there!

Only problem is half the people that say that want it will actually buy it. It would be nice if they made them for Alfa's.

Can someone get the full specs and pictures of this system on the car at the event? Tubing diameter, etc. Just would be really cool to see the before and after pics as well as HP numbers!
