You can have a ponder at Stanford

Yep. My Italian spelling isnt too good. I cant even spell Guilietta half the time.

Well first update.

Looked through the service book, and noticed that despite having 2 full services it doesnt appear to have had a change of Air Filter.

So I bought a K&N Cone filter for it :devil:


First thing, the air filters in the Gules are pain in the arse to change :bang:

They have a single pipe that runs from the turbo inlet through a MAF sensor down into the airbox, THATS IN THE BUMPER

They have circular filter and you have to access it from underneath by removing the wheel arch and undertray





And its a good job i decided to change it



And heres the new one fitted.

And you wait ages for a bus, and two come a long at once,

Heres the second update


In my opinion an Alfa needs big red brakes.

Since I cant afford the brembo's yet from the QV (Cloverleaf) I've decided to go half way.

thats a strange way to paint calipers, paint could get in where you want the pad to be able to slide.

Everything was masked of and was drip free. I ensured that. I'm not brin.

The car is safe.

And VHT spray paint doesn't run like paint anyway.

Brakes were emergency and normal braking tested on our private Road ensuring no one was put at risk if you want to know as well.

Air filter location is the same as the Bravo. Nothing wrong with it, just the car should be in the air. Something that won't be achieved on a jack, but would be on a set of drive on ramps

Love the color!

 

[RuSZ]

Well I haven't really put many photos on for the Alfa so here's a few more.

I took loads at Stanford but my SD has become corrupt so can't get them off looked good with all the other Alfas.
