Fabian

These are indeed discs suitable for the Fiat Ulysse (amongst others). Great thing is that the bore is correct (5x98), only negative thing is that the dish is a lot deeper. The bracket is a really simple one, the swept area of the disc is perfect for the small 916 pads as they cover the disc completely. We didn't change the pads, as this was a low budget upgrade.

I also voted no. The good thing about an international forum is, well, it being international. The last thing you should want is it braking up into a thousand pieces with all kinds of subforums in different languages. A lot of precious information could get lost (as our good friend Joost pointed out) because it was written in another language. Just type away in your best English, people will understand. And if you have have local events, just put them in the calendar with a little info. We have loads off events in Holland wich are also visited by many international enthousiasts.

Hi and welcome! I read about you "stealing" those CH's frome your mates mate. Good one, sometimes you get lucky

If your hobby is racing chariots like Ben Hur, the will do nicely

Contacted the seller and got some etra photo's (I was going to buy these). One of the wheels has some serious cracks, needs to be welded. The cracking is a common defect with these wheels and something to be reconned with. Most owners have a spare Siena

I would say, V6 all the way! Just drive one once, and you will be sold. Promise.

Nice calipers!! Some cheaper rotors: http://www.compbrake.com/discs-rotors.html Be carefull with these guys when buying, it took me 6+ months (and 30 or so mails and calls) to get a set of pads that should have come with my handbrake calipers. The hight of the pads is called "swept pad area" Most are 50mm or 60mm (mine are 80) The Alfa 305 have 50mm, the 330's have 60mm

Hello Fabio, great name

Hello Collin, welcome! Glad you have finally decided to share your adventures! I look forward to reading about your project (and I hope to see it in real life on sunday).

My first sentance " I will buy the set" , not maybe, not in case. And the sentance "But is is definetly sold" how much more clear could I make it? Should I have posted a picture of me holding the money? If this is not a deal then I don't know what is. Even "the new buyer" Andrei said he was to late himself. You are no gentleman and you should be banned from this forum.

That's funny, because I thought Toshko and I had a deal. I clearly remember sending him a PM telling him that I would buy the lot and receiving a PM back that said we had a deal. I was just waiting for him to tell me the P&P costs so I could Paypal him the total amount. But now there is PM radio silence....... Toshko?

Sorry guys, Already sold............ to me. Hahahaha (evil laugh) It's mine..............all mine

I did yesterday and also removed the 159 from the background. Picture is at work unfortunatly. Have to wait another week.

No, only the 24V versions. So not on the 12V Spiders and the GTV turbos. And then still only with 305mm discs, these are 330mm and the 166 calipers are bigger (just the housing, not the pistons so it's only optical)

So, Finally found some time to properly introduce myself to all of you 916 enthusiasts. My name is Fabian and I am 35 years old (witch my girlfriend often argues, she says I behave like a 5 year old ). I have owned my Spider for exactly five years as of this weak. As a daily drive I have a 156 station, face lift model with the (brilliant) selespeed-gearbox. When I originally bought the Spider is was fitted with the 3.0V6 12V. I drove it in it's original state for roughly 2 years. And then it began. After a major malfunction of the oil system (the oil pump clogged up with sealant from the oil pan) the first engine was ruined. As a 12V was hard to find, (and of course I wanted more powerrrrrrr ) I decided to fit a 24V V6 These are readily available and (in my opinion) better built and more reliable. I bought a second hand GTV as a donor so I would have all parts needed for the Job. I decided to drive the GTV for a while to evaluate the technical state of the engine. Sadly the GTV knew what was coming and it decided to commit suicide by skipping the timing belt a few notches. A second V6 ruined. Who says the Busso is indestructible But I was not going to let these Alfa's get the better of me, so I bought another V6 from a 166. These engines are the same in basic, just a few minor differences in mounting brackets. Also fitted a 6 speed gearbox, a Q2 diff, a GTA flywheel and a GTA clutch while I was at it. The car had become a driving money pit and has been since those days (never a dull moment). And I love it to bits Lots of modification done and lots more still to come. One of the latest modifications (and one of the best in my honest opinion) has been fitting a set of Porsche 997 sport seats (I know, I know, blasphemy). But.............. this makes the car so much more fun to drive as I now have so much space for my legs and brilliant lateral support.

Here are a few pics. They haven't been painted in the right colour yet, but I have ordered the paint (no, I do not like the red). Also I need to make a few minor adjustments to the seats as it is a tight fit.
