Newby here, just wanted to say Hi.

I'm keeping my 94' FD pretty much stock looking, also.

Hope to pick up some good info here.

Middle -age thing I guess.

I bought an 85 gls-se for $650 about a year ago. It looked awful (that gray/silver stuff) but the red interior was in B+ - A- shape and the owner was commuting 60 miles per day in it. (I'm no mechanic, just wanted a toy to mess with) I had to replace the stereo and the windshield, so I'm out a couple hundred more... then came the MD state inspection.... That put me out $1200 for new ball joints, tires, and a laundry list of other infractions... but the guy that did the suspension work is pure magic.

I spent several weekends on the wiring. This thing has had a dozen owners, two or three engines, and I think as many trannnies. The wiring was a mess, no stock schematics came even close... but electronics was my first career, so if I couldn't figure it out, I just ran new wire.

I've been driving it as a daily commuter for nearly a year. Other than the 2 quarts of oil per month, it's cost me nothing but gas since... so I'm easily past the break-even point... tax refund is coming in, we're heading to the paint shop.. I'm thinking a non-stock color, I bought this thing to drive and have fun with, not to please some snooty purists.. maybe a charcoal gray, minimal trim....



Since I signed upon this site I've already hooked up with a saint that has some trim pieces I need , so unlike other wastes of Internet Bandwidth, I may stick around for a while here.

I just bought a wine-red 1978 Alfa Romeo alfetta gt 1800, the engine has been beaten, sleevs is rusted, no.1 piston has broken rings etc. Alfa parts is hard to finde and well....

Now I`m thinking of a 13b turbo??????

If you know the drivetrain[the egine in front and clutch, gearbox at the rear].

But wat about the propshaft that hs to spin at 9000rpm or higher??

Welcome to Nopistons! You could possibly have a driveshaft (propshaft) made. It's pretty common practice here in the States.

Hello everyone,

Im new to this forum, and so far I love it. I have gotten all questions answered within a few hours. Of all forums I have been with, this is definately the best. Hopefully soon I will have my car up and running, and tearing up the streets of central florida sideways, the way it should be!



Although I own a lot of different cars, Who needs pistons anyways? I'd rather drop a 13b in all of them.



Local members hit me up, Im in lakeland, FL.





Peace,

Cody
