    Tyre Valve - Metal or Plastic?

    During a crazy road trip to collect some parts from Greg Smith (Premier Performance Car Parts) in Ireland, I asked him about the tyre valves and he responded always use the rubber ones because the metal ones can corrode the alloy around the tyre valve. So based on this I think I'll go with the...

    Tyre Valve - Metal or Plastic?

    So after some investigating I cant find a definitive answer, but I did find the something on etyres website mentioning that the metal valves are usual for high performance wheels/tyres. Not sure if it really make any difference? http://www.etyres.co.uk/glossary-tyre-terms?term=valve

    Tyre Valve - Metal or Plastic?

    Hi Everyone, This might seem very trivial but I was wondering which type of tyre valve is better or what should I fit? I recently took my 3200 to have a puncture repaired and the garage said that normally they only use plastic tyre valves, this is standard for almost every car nowadays...

    Outside Temperature Reading °F to °C on 3200

    Yeah sorry Robert, I meant pin 13 on connector C. It looks like connector A pin 4 is the signal input from the sensor, and i'm guess/hoping that Connector C Pin 13 is a input to set the temperature output in °C or °F. I'll try and check my car's wiring and voltage on that pin too. Cheers,

    Outside Temperature Reading °F to °C on 3200

    I don't have any video but here are some pics. It was such a great car, it suffered from the usual old Alfa Romeo issues but it stuck to the road like glue and went like a rocket!!

    Hi dickyb, I'd love to see the car when its done, I used to own a 33 P4. It was one of the best cars i ever owned. So light weight and powerful for its size, it really surprised a lot of people. Plus the boxer engines make such a great sound. There is a race preped one on eBay which I’d love...

    3200GT Uprated Clutch - Group Buy

    That looks like a nasty failure. The release bearing on the performance clutch is same as the standard one. Yeah the performance clutch looks quite expensive comapred to the standard clutch, but i reckon I can get 15% discount which brings the price down to £750. and a new clutch from...

    Activ8 oil additive.

    Hmm, I’m always dubious about oil additives. If such a technology is effective, surely the major oil companies (Shell, Castrol, Mobil, etc..) would have included it in their top spec oils.

    It was about to go on the track for the demonstation lap... It was a big anti-climax!!! There was probably around 10,000 BHP of cars there and all of them were doing 30MPH :(
