V6 engine on a Stilo - test run

I have actually heard the remix of Jeremy Clarkson`s new album after listening to that fine Italian V6 roaring mad for track day action :worship: such a mad and envied project Nikos, you must have a trip over to the UK and come to one of the Forum venues, you MUST :D

Tell you what tho, my 2.4 Stilo/Lancia 5 pot block sounds better when it roars over 5000 RPM ;) (μόνο αστεία)

I am sorry to say but I am sure he is a very tight man and seeing as the only stilo shown on top gear was a rented diesel estate purposely used to demonstrate how stupid the turbo lag was on an Evo FQ400, this seems to show that neither Jeremy Clarkson or top gear approve of any interest towards our beloved Stilo fanaticism.

It would have been nice to see the V6 track beast but as things go, pictures will be the only way to speak words and desires :rolleyes:

You can try though. Remember that show where they were racing true british cars aside to the canadians and they brought a van with a changed V10 or V12 I forgot which one it was. :p

Tell Clarkson that next time he wants to embaress someone with a standard 1.6 against an tuned version of something he can take the V6 Stilo. Anyway, it needs to be really fast to be able to compete.

My bad it was not a diesel but a 1.6 estate, long time ago since i have seen that video.

Clarkson would never accept the challenge as he knows that he would embarrass himself and the glorious Fiat would win the day ;)

Today's short story... :(

I got the car in the morning. It sounds like hell and it is really a pleasure to drive it!!! It sounds like a small Ferrari!!! :eek::eek::eek:

So I got it from my friend's garage and drove it for about 15km. When we reached close to my garage (yes, I have rented a wharehouse and transformed it to a garage!! (y)), we drove to a dead end, in order to get you a video. Unfortunatelly, when I was about to start, my left driveshaft snapped!! :(:(:( :mad::mad:

Damn it! :mad: Don't worry though I will fix it within next week and I will get you a video for sure!!! (y)

This is how the video would start.... :(





And few photos while I was waitting to be pulled... (the front bumper is in my garage and it will be put on next week).

We had a quick check today. It seems that we didn't measured the driveshaft correctly and we manufactured it shorter than it should be... New driveshaft soon...
 
What a stunning idea, the Alfa V6 is such a stunnig engine, and shoehorning it into a stilo, and the 3.0 too (3.2 to follow?) My last car was a 2.5 V6 alfa,and when you revved it the hairs stood up on the back of my neck-Classic, pure classic, and a yellow stilo too.
So nice to see people who like their stilos(y)
 
Hi guys!

I just returned from my vocations. The driveshaft will be replaced in the following week (I hope), or the week next to the following one. I will be in a trackday weekend in October, so the car must be ready soon.

I am glad that you like the job done to my Stilo! I will have updates, soon! ;)
 
For all you that you were looking for some action, is time to check out some videos... :)

I have finished the driveshaft, car is almost ready (some electrical job, cooling lines, and fit the front bumper).

The engine sounds really awesome when you hear it live. Videos are from my cell phone.

Now I need to reprogram ECU, because it seems that can gain a lot just with an ECU flash.

Sorry for the lame videos but we were out just for a couple of test runs. More interesting videos will follow... :)




One more will be added later (still uploading and I have to go)! :)
