GTV 3.2 V6 24V - credulone

[Alfaduden 226]

Aha, that one.. Heh. I was in between that kit, and FK coilovers in stainless steel housing. I ended up with FK coilovers, because I want to be able adjust the height on the rear axle as well. That said, I dont know if this is the best solution for me. I feel that it is too "bouncy" and hard to control when it is rough surface... On smooth tarmac it is excellent though...

 

I am now looking for Intrax, or a set of carefully used Bilstein shocks...

[Filip 124]

So the KWs are more comfortable than the standard parts? I thought they would be firmer and bouncier than standard? "Sporty"...

You can change the springs on the FK coilovers, tho, can't you? Can you adjust more than height on the dampers?

[kunev 131]

The link for Novitec coilovers that post credulone is actually KW Variant 1, from what I see and read.

Afdaduden like Filip sad you maybe can change the springs. A softer one have to make a less "bouncy" kit. Do you know the spring rate of the springs in the FK Silverline X kit. The springs on coilovers kit are different than "normal" springs. You may ask FK for some variant of changing the springs  . So Alfaduden you think to change your newly installed kit. Intrax is very expensive, some time ago I have found some prices for their kit, but lost the link.

I'm in love! 

 

This is how a GTV should look like: black exterior, red interior and an awesome V6! (or red exterior and black interior is nice too  )

[credulone 16]

Here some news.

I have let cover the complete center console with genuine black alcantara.

Te result is awesome.

My uppholstere loves details…He did the upper part without seams. That was not so easy.

 

I will install the parts in the next few days

 

I hope you like the result.

[Toshko 10]

Look awesome. Great job. 

[Thanos 193]

Very nice!

Is that original alcantara?

Who did it and where?

[Alfaduden 226]

You can change the springs on the FK coilovers, tho, can't you? Can you adjust more than height on the dampers?

 

Yes, I have thought of that.... But to produce new springs just for one customer is expencive too... I can adjust height and stiffness on the front axle, and only height on the rear.

I do not have the springrate in my head, but change to a softer set of springs is an alternative. A question to FK is probably a good idea... 

I have a feeling that I will change to Intrax some day. Maybe not next year, but it is on my agenda... Expensive - yes, but sooooo good! I have a long e-mail conversation between me and them. I think the price was around 1900EUR!

 

Credulone; sorry for hijacking your thread, but I have been MIA for a while here, and had some catching up to do

I really LOVE your interior modification. Can I ask what you did with the original CD/radio? I need a silver one you see...

[Paso 239]

Cozy!

[credulone 16]

I’am glad that you like it! Thanks.

I'm in love with my Interieur  

 

@Thanos

Yes, this is (expensive) genuine alcantara®. Only materials cost are at 180€

I work in a design furniture industry and we have an upholstery department.

The work has made me the head of the department, but at his home… and not less than a car upholstery.

I think in a car upholstery, the total cost would be about the same…but I trustet him very much.  

 

 

@Alfaduden

It’s not a problem.

I don’t want to sell my original radio, sorry

 

 

 

…soon other updates about speedometer dials.

 

 

[EvoMan 116]

Looks amazing! May I " borrow" this idea for my Spider?

[credulone 16]

Oh yes, please!

[kunev 131]

About dials, here is what can offer one bulgarian company - link 1 , link 2 and link 3 .

[credulone 16]

I have already the dials.

Designed and personalized of my idea from charlee (Thanks again charlee)

 

But wait….

 

It is precisely these in Link 2! Why the have it too? 

 

[charlee 314]

Your interior is perfect! The alcantara is amazing!

 

About the dials... It was a misunderstanding with the company and will be sorted. Kunev, those are my designs on the links you've posted.

[credulone 16]

Finally some pictures from the dials.

Designed by charlee from my basic idea. The result is perfect. I like it!

A big thank you for the great work to charlee.

 

The dials are ispired from the Ferrari California dials.

 

I hope you like the result.
