Hey guys, So i've removed the rear traverse arms no problems and rebushed them. I however cannot remove the front/inner traverse arms as they foul on the petrol tank. I've raised the car enough for them to hang thinking that'd be enough but it isn't. Im hoping I don't have to drop the rear subframe off. Any help is appreciated. I hope that was clear I can try provide some pictures. Cheers, George

I read a study recently that.... lol maybe you should read it for yourself.... http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg1 ... sperm.html

I haven't had a chance yet to clean the coil packs or reset the Idle Control Actuator but here is an interesting update. When i start the car, normally i chuck it into neutral and foot on the brake then start it. Recently whilst in neutral i thought i'd begin pressing the clutch in. SO far it hasn't happened. Its been about 5 days since i started to doing it, so no conclusive results yet. But yeh even in the cold its starting up fine. Interesting. Any relation, or potentially just a coincidence?

solid downforce.

I really enjoy watching senna, and the older F1 generation. Prost and Damon Hill were amazing to watch too Of the modern drivers my favourite to watch are Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikonnen, for me they always put on a show. Currently i'm watching kobayashi, i think he has the potential to be great one day too. This is one of my favourite pieces of artwork. It's called 'what if?'.

lol awks. Thank you, good to be here. This forum is very very social and not overly techy and 'what is my car worth' heavy compared to AO. love it.

eh its a CF2 engine i know that much, i'll try get a photo up. I'm not sure how or where coil packs are, or how to remove them. I'll do a cheeky google.

rest is up to your imagination.

It's top of my list but the ducting causes the same thing. I've ruled out the Lambdas, crank sensor, cam sensor, rear heated screen and wiper motor too. Thanks guys, i'll have to try those things out. Before i do. I took a video to show you: I'm not touching any pedals, and the lights are on parkers just to light the dash up. Battery supplies enough voltage, i measured it a few months ago. (iirc ~12.3V off, and ~14.7V on idle). You can't see it in the video well, but the interior lights are STRUGGLING - dimming, like its some rave. The car also shakes. Then normal

hahahaha yeh there is, keen eye for detail you lot. My best mate does some modelling and i do some shooting, so we thought we'd have some fun. Could have done it in any carpark but we drove for 2 hours to get to the top of the mountain. I'll have a look at the comp, and yeh have a look at what people think

I'll explain as well as i can. On cold start up, sometimes and only sometimes the car will start no problems and after about 2 seconds revs will drop and the car will cough and sputter, like and asthmatic old man. Nothing really fixes it, not even giving it a bit of throttle. After about 5 or seconds, when the car stops shaking like a drug addict its all normal, like it never happened. Reminds of a cheeky munt (throw up) after a big night and after that you're ready to go. The car had its major service (cam belt, plugs etc) done yesterday and i asked my indie if he thought anything seemed peculiar and he mentioned nothing, even though i brought it to his attention. When coming to a stop at the lights, and you clutch in - the revs drop and the car shakes, corrects itself, drop, shakes, corrects itself. Once warm everything seems to be normal. I spoke to a few of the guys on the ausalfa forum and they mentioned sensor issues. Spoke to a mate who builds race cars and the like and mentioned the same thing. O2 sensor/crank sensor/MAF have been thrown around. What do you guys think? I'll try get a video up for you if i can P.S. im a totally incompetent mechanic and won't even pretend to be otherwise, but i do know how to google like a pro. (awkward if this has been covered and i failed to find it, sox guys) G

Hey guys, The name is George, new to AD but not to AO or ausalfa. Just saying hello from Melbourne, Australia and introducing my 156. Bought it over a year ago and loved it. Installed Eibach springs and Bilsteins b6's. I changed the interior from cloth to red leather (enter infinite 'ooooohhh' zone, from the one and only demographic I'm interested in ) . And next on the to do list are better brakes and pads, then hopefully the ARB's. Eventually i'd love to upgrade to a GTA, but being only 21 it's a bit hard financially to justify one. (or afford one for that matter ) I have a slight problem, but i'll post that in the relevant section. Here are some pics!
