I'd guess FK seats if I was stupid enough to guess True dat! Unusual mods on your red GTV. Not my taste, but I like that you carried them out nonetheless. Can't go wrong with a personal touch.

I wish... Took delivery of a 155 2.5 V6 strut brace that I'm going to test fit and my very own subframe brace Going to the garage tomorrow even though I hear we're expecting 1/2 ft of snow... Quality time in the man cave coming up. Gonna measure the resistance of my ABS sensors while I'm at it, hoping that they're fine and that I find a cheap and simple problem instead...

Aaah, Bussgods beats snowy ditches, no problem! And if my brake hoses are on the E22, I'm gonna sue the idiots for a huge de-tour

You infidel! Build a garage... I agree tho, all this snow sucks. It's been snowing all day here and I was hoping for some asfalt soon... The worst part is that it's soooooo friggin' cold in my garage. My braces (hehe) and my braided brake hoses are on their way. Hope they arrive by tomorrow, otherwise my weekend plans are ruined for that reason

If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you. Looking forward to some quality time in the garage next weekend, fitting brakes and maybe removing the stereo and antenna...

I'm expecting you to provide me with a new desktop background soon

Just ordered some HEL brake lines in a lame color called "carbolook", but the alternatives were worse... Like transparent or red or blue... Hope they arrive before the weekend

Cool stuff! Having dinner and a drink aboard on of the boats and watching this with friends sounds like time well spent Don't joke about the holy mother of the Norwegian economy

Amagad!

... Careful now!! Hahah

Hahah, hjemmebrent and hembränt are close enough Yep, akevitt and countless variants of it is what we have for midsommar (mid summer celebrations) for example. Do you Norrbaggar celebrate midsommar?

Here's the link for the caliper rebuild guide http://www.squadra916.com/forums/topic/3267-guide-rebuilding-916-front-ate-calipers/

You mean the pins on the bulletin board behind the caliper...? No, those are pins... I'm gonna write up a guide for beginners on rebuilding the ATE calipers

Let's see if Tapatalk lets me upload this...

I'll weigh them when I get them delivered, in a month or two. Yep, Kunev, thats basically how you define Biltema. They sell a lot of crap, but also a lot of products that are great value for money. They are mainly known for the crap Hembränt, the Swedish/Scandinavian (what do u call ut in Norway??) version of moonshine

Occasionally, I get around to doing some car-related work For those of you who are also beginners, I describe the order in which I fitted each part below. Having cleaned the piston and made sure that it had no scratches, rust or imperfections in the sliding surface, I didn't spend a lot of time cleaning the inside of it, apart from wiring brushing it and making sure no surface rust was left. As long as it's good enough to hold the inner brake pad, it does not need a lot of attention. The order: - Convince the inner seal (big o-ring) that it indeed does fit - Grease the surface that the piston needs to slide along - Grease the piston's sliding surface - Put the dust seal on the piston facing the right way - Line up the piston right at the edge of the chamber (aaah.. that tingly feeling) - Position the dust seal on the "inner edge" of the piston to simplify the next step, which is: - Poke the "lip" of the dust seal into its track in the chamber - Simultaneously, hold the piston in position and start inserting it slightly if necessary - Keep poking the lip a little bit at a time until you've got the whole 360 degrees tucked into position (I used a thin, blunt plastic object to help convince the lip of the seal to slide into the track) - When it stays in position by itself, double check that the piston is lined up properly - Find yourself a good grip and push the piston in by hand or use some sort of tool - A wooden stick that fits into the piston and a hammer works if you fancy the caveman way This is how I did it. More experienced mechanics probably have shortcuts and secrets that make this easier Fitting the dust seal was a bitch, to be honest. As I've never rebuilt a caliper before, I took a really long time to figure it all out. Pushing the piston into the caliper was fairly straight forward, but it took much more force than I expected. I greased the (new) inner seal, the piston and the dust seal with silicone grease. Here's the caliper repair kit from Budweg. And here's the first caliper a few steps into the rebuilding process. Please admire my friggin' amazing photography skills and the incredible sharpness of my Xperia S in the gloomy basement Next step: fit the bracket. Requires socket 7 as I now remember I think the black calipers are gonna look pretty slick with Yellowstuffs fitted.

Yes, it reminds me what I want to achieve. A meet in Gothenburg would be awesome. Anyone from The Netherlands, the UK, Germany or France wanna join in? A few 1000 km never hurt anyone... Dude is talking about Liseberg, http://liseberg.se/sv/hem/, but I think this form of entertainment is better for us... The red dots are the nearest race tracks from Gothenburg. Gothenburg is just north of the western edge of the pic above. Used to live in Gothenburg for a while and my former landlord there buys and sells Alfas. Last I checked he had a GTV 3.0 V6 and a few other Alfas in stock.

You, Sir, are not helping right here Thanks Duden And thanks Charlee, for... being so supportive when people are helping out! AHaah

I think we could have a lovely talk! His location, Gothenburg, suggests that we need not worry about a language barrier I checked out his album. If my car was like his, I would have come a long way compared to where I am right now 4-pot Brembos, a roll cage, race seat and so on. I like it!

Indeed Are you the stylish guy sitting on the arm of the sofa then? I'm probably the guy staring in the totally opposite direction, as usual. Physically there, but mentally very far away

I'd be happy to weigh them for you but they are sitting on my uncle's porch right now

Something is off...?! Here is another on: http://www.blocket.se/helsingborg/Hardtop_Alfa_916_Spider___95_2003_51663893.htm?aw=1 The seller wishes to be contacted through the email form in the link so that you exchange numbers that way.

The seats look great. I would want that R logo gone, though. Are they easy to find? Heavy? Adjustable?

PHOTOS........?!
