mademan Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 .... Just Kidding. Buick Grand national powered turbo V6 -fujimi 14" Steel Wheel set, and Grand National Turbo Bulge, Tamiya ts-14 Black removed all of the casting lines also, and filled the rear exhaust opening in the bumper, so that I can run duals underneath. more in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 the stock rear end was small and probly wouldnt handle the added power, so I spliced the stock GN rear with stock alfa parts the turbo v6 looks right at home in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Interesting idea....always loved those things in 1:1. Beautiful handling, well balanced cars. A big ol' gob of horsepower would be a very fine addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Interesting idea....always loved those things in 1:1. Beautiful handling, well balanced cars. A big ol' gob of horsepower would be a very fine addition. I had a '66 stepnose 1600 GT Sprint Veloce back in the early 70s, low mileage. Beautiful handling, well-balanced, incredibly unreliable and expensive to maintain. Regular valve jobs and water pump replacements, with shaky synchronizers - and I'd had Alfas before. The twin Webers could never stay tuned properly for very long, and the "self lubricating" bushings froze up the front suspension at about 25,000 miles. I knew it was time to think about a replacement when the outside door handle snapped off in my hand and the turn signal lever cracked off. Masochist that I am, I bought a couple of more Alfas over the next ten years; much more fun to drive than my godfather's (not mob : P ) Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, which I used a lot. I had similar problems with all 4 Alfas - '59 Giulietta Super Spider Veloce, '71 1750 Spider Veloce, and - the only one I bought new - a '77 Alfetta GT, which was the worst of the bunch. I thought I'd get a break when I bought an '84 Porsche 944, which turned out to be even worse than the Alfas.
