I will test it for u you guys no problem

 

I've also read the same problems Paso, but also read lots of positive story's.

I thought to just go for it and see myself 

 

Next Thursday the frontpipes going to be mounted!

I'm very excited!

 

For this sunday i got super nice modification also!

Sunday evening we are going to shoot with some 916's at very nice place in Amsterdam!

6 guys with good camera's must turn up stunning pics!

[Paso 239]

Great, can't wait to see the new photo session!

[ToxyMaTT 49]

Great photo shoot !!

Started to trim the Siena's!

 

First sanding the lips with 400 - 800 - 1000 and then with the Dremel and Belgom Allu to polish it up.

And finishd with Rimwax for shine and protection.

 

Will start with the next when my vingers are recoverd...

V6 TB have AFM (flap type flow meter) and probably it can be destroyed only with LPG explosion . Any cone air filter without box will give much more suction sound. If the wet filter is not over oiled before installation, probably will not have any problems (I don't have personal experience). K&N make statement about that. For me dry filter is the best option - Apexi Power Intake, RamAir filter.

New Brembo brakes at the back with custom brackets thanks to Fabian!

With original calipers now got 295mm instead of the original 240

Its plug and play with the custom adapters, didn't need to change the cables.

 

Also got the front 330mm Brembo's with the same drill

The rear breakes are from the Fiat Ulysse right?

A nice old solution to get much better looks on the rear axle

Good brake upgrade for these big 19" wheels  . What disk and pads did you use? And I think that my 215/45/17 tyre are low and now I see that you use 215/35/19  at the front. Probably you have very smooth roads in Holland or for you styling is very very important. I remember that have read something on the subject (style and beauty vs comfort and practicality of wheels) from one AUDI owner in their forum here:

" ... there is something very important of owning one car, when you walk to her you have to like it!" 

P.S. If I have such space for brakes (19" wheels instead of my 17") I think that will go for something much bigger than my current setup (calipers and discs)    .

[Joris 136]

Styling is very very important I drive the 916 Spider now for almost 6 years and every time i see her i still get excited

  I first need bigger wallet before i can buy bigger brakes, maybe something for next year...

 Don't know if its an old solution, i never seen it before on 916?

They are Fiat/Alfaromeo Brembo discs from what car they are i can't see.

[Joris 136]

Because sunday in Amsterdam i did not had the time to shoot some pics, so i went to the harbor of Harderwijk yesterday evening.

 

Will go back to Amsterdam soon, such a great place to shoot photo's

I know a couple of 916 that they have done this modification before.. and many 147/156.

It is a great update if you have 330 discs on front.

The old 240 discs look ridiculus small especially in combination with bigger wheels like yours.

yes the old discs are tiny...

[kunev 131]

Joris you don't say anything for pads that you are using. It will be good to write your opinion for comparison with old brake setup  . 

Thanos can you give more information about rear brake upgrade from Fiat Ulysse (if you want in another topic) I don't remember to have come across such upgrade. There is rear upgrade kit by Tarox. 

[Fabian 10]

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.

Considered respraying the nets in the fender vents in a slightly darker color? 

[Joris 136]

I considered that yes, 2 weeks ago i mounted the original cup back panels behind the nets, didnt had these becouse they are quite rare.

 

So now you can't see the chassis anymore it looks already a little darker.

Maybe i will spray them dark grey almost black then its more delicate. 

 

Tommorow its Equal length front pipes mounting day

Amazing! It sounds almost the same like yours now Mathieu

Sound clip asap!

[Alfaduden 226]

I'm courius on those brackets for the rear brake calipers...
Do you fabricate those Fabian? Is it possible to buy a set from you?

[Joris 136]

Yesterday we had register club meeting for all Alfa Romeo in Hilvarenbeek next to Belgium.

Had a little photoshoot together with Roy's beautiful 3.0 Spider there 

[ToxyMaTT 49]

As always ... stuning cars, stuning shoot !! :wub:

[Joris 136]

Tanks!     I am new with photo editing and am now testing with Hdr give some nice effects!

[kunev 131]

It is very good that you can use this small number plate sticker on the front instead of big number plate with bracket for it. Pininfarina hasn't think about big number plate installation when made front design of 916  .
