Hi there. A few questions, what exactly gets beefed up when you do the RS suspension mod? I suppose pretty much coil-overs, and poly bushings, thicker anti-roll and torsion bars etc.? What is done by Alex Jupe to resize the engine to 3.5?
I am in South Africa, and have '84 gtv6 2.5, still standard, appart from stainless valves, bigger AFM, and all round POLY bushings on suspension. Was thinking of fitting sleeves and pistons from South African special 3 litre gtv6. This would bring me to 2.8 L
Thanks Tom. This is an Alex Jupe 3.5 conversion with RS Racing suspension, and it is just about as stiff as you can get away with for the road. It is intense to drive, very physical - yes, a man's car! However it has completely standard interior and it can do family trips while being very tidy on the circuit too.
Love the way you make this feel like a grueling experience, it shows how intense and implicating driving an alfetta-chassis'd alfa can be. You seem to have a fairly stiff setup with little body roll which makes the experience even more intoxicating in my opinion.
I this an AHM conversion? I'd like to have that done to my 75 some day!!!
Ah, so this is one of Alex Jupe's GTV6's. How much HP has it got? Jupe's website says 230 but that seems too low for a 3.5 conversion. I was expecting something like 270...
I have the same set of rims, but with the stock SZ tires on it, front 205/55 ZR 16, rear 225/50 ZR 16. Look you have other (lower) tires. Could you give the tyre size? Did you change the ET-values?
Really nice GTV6 man! The Zender Milano rims look SO good on any Alfa. Your video makes me wishing it was summer so I could go for a drive in my baby =) Just 3 months off snow left in the north of Sweden :/
Was für ein geiler sound und gtv6 ist ein sehr schönes Auto....einfach nur richtig geil.
