OK. Gonna try this again. The Alfa Club event was canceled due to lack of interest. The Bremerton Club is having a lapping day at the Bremerton track 6/10/11. The Bremerton guys usually put a chicane in the srtaightaway, so longest leg of track is about 3/4ths of a mile. There will at least...

Unfortunately this Alfa Club event has been canceled. Looks like I will be doing test and tune in my driveway this weekend instead. Regards, Paul

The NW Alfa Club is going to have a track day at Bremerton on May 27th. If anyone is interested the Alfa site is: Northwest Alfa Romeo Club :: Track Events I am signed up for the event and hope to have my GTD out on track. There are usually only a few Alfas that show up, most of the cars...

Hi All- RE; safety wiring. I am just installing a set of Vintage wheels, looking at the "care and feeding" thread I see that the safety wire goes through a hole on the end of the spinner wing, but cant quite see were it attaches to the wheel. Can anyone tell me the proper way to affix the...

Oh, and by the way Dave- I assume you have 17 inch Nittos, are you using the 315s in rear and 235s in front? Thanks again, Paul

Hi Dave- Most time on the car will be on track. Very limited street use. I know what you mean about dry only, I have had Hoosiers and other R type tires on my Griffith. You had to be careful if you spit out the window while it was moving. Having the right tire on that car made a world of...

Hi All- I am shopping for a combination track/street tire (mostly track). (17" wheels). I am looking at the Nitto 01 or 05 tires, Falken Azenis, Toyo R1, 888 or similar. Anyone have experience with good predictable tire for use on this car? Thanks, Paul

Hi All- I am a commercial fisher.. I drove a boat through this area on the way to American Samoa.. It was extremly hot and humid. The area has a few small coral atolls, none which seemed might have any kind of significant road infastructure. I have absolutely no idea why they might have a...

Hello Tony, or anyone in contact with Tony: I purchased GTD 20390, which I understand was built by Tony. I have a list of questions about this car which, if answered, would be very helpful in getting the car back out on the track..... Any help appreciated. Paul

Hello to all- I am looking at replacing the wheels on my GTD- going to Vintage K.O.s. I have a choice of offsets. The front wheels currently on the car have an slight negative offset, about -1/8th of an inch (4 7/8 inch backspace). The new wheels would be about .725 negative (4.025...

Thanks to all for input. Sounds like Bob has good knowledge of these cars, was once in CAV sales. The wheels are sure pur-dee. Regards, Paul

Hi All- I am considering the purchase of a set of 17" BRM style Vintage Wheels for my GTD. I would be using their K.O. adapters, spinners, etc. It looks like I may need to machine them to increase the backspacing to achieve the same offset as the wheels currently on the car. They are great...

Help, please. I have a GTD that has a sticking throttle cable. It appears that the cable has melted where it runs out through the exhaust piping and the action has become very stiff. I am looking for a replacement cable. The existing cable has an ID tag. Info on tag: European Marine Works...

Hi Ron- I am having same problem uploading photos... my pics too big?? Paul

Here in the states, MrFiat.com has some. $37USD ea. for the lense unit. Now just need the plugs that hold the bulbs.... Paul

Wow- I see that the Fiat ones may actually been used on a Miura!! Gotta have those ones :laugh:. They may be pricey like the ones James sees..... Will see what Andy has. Sure is amazing what you can find on Ebay. Paul

Thanks Martin- Thats how I thought the GTD door was originally configured. One of the previous owners of my car modified the car to have completely removable windows that set inside the window openings, and faired in that recess. I really don't care for these windows, so this will be one of...

My GTD has single left right units,, not the double left/right of early cars.. I will look for the Fiat and Simca units. Not common in the States. Appreciate the input. Regards to all, Paul

Hmm- Fiat 850, we haven't seen those over on these shores for many years... or any Fiat for that matter...will look for them (on ebay). Many thanks. p

Hi All- need help. I purchased a GTD car that has some "unique" door windows- light weight plastic, that snap into the inside of the window opening (& do not keep rain out of the cockpit). Would like to install original style windows that I see on most replicas, however I notice that there are...
