I don't know if this is the proper place to post these pictures. It's a friend of mine that he decide to swim in a deep waters and he modifies his beautifully alfetta to this beast.
If you want I will describe with details all the modifications, if not it doesn't matter. Just look at.
Does it require wheelie bars in the back? How much does it weigh all together? How much HP at the rear wheels? 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile track? Most important, what times can it pull?
Is the car in Greece, or is the web site a tribute to Greek Culture? Are there many drag race tracks in Greece? I would not have guessed there were any. I was shocked to find drag racing tracks in Hawaii.
Congratulations to your friend!
I suppose many Alfisti will have to keep the gag reflex in check, (An Alfa that can't turn? How revolting!) but for an old 1970's California street racer, this thing got my interest, and blood boiling. Nice!
Your friend must be really addicted to stop and go driving. Thanks for the great photos.
thats a wicked looker...i dont like the "blended" rear quarter insert area(spot that normaly has the black plastic or GTV or louvers)...and the lack of tail lights
Ok too much questions and I'ven't the knowledge to reply. Be sure that I'll ask and I'll reply asap. If you like I can send more detailed photos.
Yes the car is in Greece. He did it by himself trying to save as low as possible weight. I know that he use a BMW LSD a longer front arms and a lot of fantasy. My friend currently doing some difficult body jobs to my GT.
There are 6 drag strips in Greece and also a national championship. Check this link www.greekdragster.info.
Thanks Pakka. Tell your friend his machine is admired in the US by this old drag racer. I'll get a Greek dictionary, or try and use babblefish translation site, and go to the web site. Is your GT an Alfa as well? Fun, fun, fun!
Well, I bought another driver/project, after daily perusals of non-driving projects I just realize I don't have time for, not that I have time for this one.
It's a 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta coupe with no rust. No, really. Seriously. Come on - I'm not kidding. It's a California car, that...
I have read the thread about the stolen keys saga and how this was solved. My dilemma, albeit a small one, all things considered, I have key that fits one cylinder on drivers side. But the passenger side door and hatch won't work. There is a key code on the key, is it possible to get cylinders...
I got this Alfetta Sedan a while back and want to see if I can get it running. The PO said it needed a fuel pump, but when I put 12v directly to the pump it runs.
When I turn the key to run, there is no power to the fuel pump. Is there a relay, which one? Which one of the bullet fuses is for...
I was able to successfully remove the original hood prop bracket, and I have received a new one to install, but the actual hood prop rod doesn't seem to be at the right angle. Mine is pretty much a straight 90° angle, and it doesn't seem to follow the line of the bracket to slide freely. I've...
It’s always the last place you look.
As I’ve been bringing a 78 Alfetta GT back to full operations, I’ve had to learn some things not previously faced with other Alfas. I’ve conquered a non-exact turn signal assembly, goofy headlights, cheap-crap taillight assemblies, cheap-crap hood release...
