Some older recent Art.

Tunnel Vision !!!!

Nero

My kitty Nero.

I have a new digicam. A Canon g9. So I have been experimenting
and have some pics of the kitty. The really nice "headshot" was done
with a bounce flash.

Also notice the snake. This was the 3rd critter I saw him overpower
this week.

I volunteered to be his "tire warmer" as an excuse to get some seat time in his 911sc.

I'll make sure to get lots of pics at the auto-x and some shots of the
recent upgrades that brian has made to the Porsche:

• BBS 3 piece wheels
• Sparco buckets
• Schroth(sp?) harnesses
• custom built roll bar. Dart automotive in Denver.

that shit is shweet !!!!

What the hell am I doing w 2 Alfas ??

So I have 2 ALFA Romeos now.

the azurro metallico 1987 Alfa Milano 2.5 Silver:

things to address to be roadworthy/legal:

• clutch needs replaced : slipping
  fortunately I have a good spare.
  

• speedometer/odometer not working.
  Hope this is just a loose wire at the T/A.
  the speedo drive gears are NLA ??
  

• Idle needs to be adjusted for emissions. Car is running rich.
  Previous owner stated that it posted high HC when he tried to get it emissioned.
  I do NOT want to buy another cat converter !!
  I have been running fuel system cleaner and trying to give her the Italian tune-up.
  that should make her legal to pass emissions.
  

Then the suspension needs going through. It is all good,
just old and soft. Bilsteins and a bigger sway bar would be
sweet. But that costs money.

The nero metallico 1984 Alfa GTV6 2.5

Things that must be done to be roadworthy:

• Fix leak at Transaxle. Apple ~ $200 ??
• Replace rear rotors and pads. Since we are already back there gotta do it.
  the rear rotors are at their min. I have good new brembos and pads ???
• Cooling system. Replace fan(s) $100-150
• repaint and replace "cappuccino tray" on the hood
  

Maybe:

• balljoint caster arm conversion.
• Kumho Ecsta MX tires.

was planning to do gotech but will probably wait on that one.
spend a little on the tires and suspension, fix the leaky rear-end. (ick)
and do a couple of track days.

pictures. here there are pictures. lots of cars
