| Repairs and modifications made on my
Alfetta QO so far (November 2010) |
|
| Since I
live in a row house, with less than poor possibilities to perform any major work
to the car, everything takes 2-3 times longer than expected, and that's
even taken into account that I'm a total rookie when it comes to DIY car repair. The fact that I'm married, have two
kids, a full time job, and a couple of other hobbies doesn't really help to
speed up the process of finishing the car... Well OK, the car is on the road a
couple of times every month, and I ENJOY every single kilometer I drive it !!! |
| The
original engine hasn't been touched, other than some needed replacements of bad
wires and hoses, bit's and pieces, a set of new spark plugs, some fresh oil, oil filter etc. It
runs pretty good and is very stable. I burns next to no oil, and will go
anywhere between 10 - 12 km pr. liter fuel. Quite
OK, considered the way I drive it. The original engine was swapped
with a 2.0 liter Twin Spark engine from a Alfa 75 in 2007, not that the original engine was faulty
or anything, I just wanted some more power, and now I'm on it once more,
as I'm the process of modifying yet another 2 liter TS engine - the target
is 180+ horse power at 4000 revs. See new link below. |
| The
electrics is the usual sad story (why even bother making everything electric
when you know you can't make it work) Well, it seems that the Italians
don't know their own limitations and when to say stop... |
| The
transmission has been replaced with a renovated Alfa 75 2.0 TS transmission
which changes gears and runs smoothly. |
