[e.mury]

I don't know how I've missed this thread for so long. The work is so amazing. It all comes together so perfectly... And the sound, it's just so perfect. Great job on this thing! Looking forward to updates.

my favorite parts of your videos are the sweet few seconds where the rear end slides out in a turn and your tires chirp.

it makes me smile.

That thing sounds fucking amazing.

if it's built from the ground up with 3x the power intended then that means you built it to break. rather than building it from the ground up to handle the power you gave it

The problems you're referring to, are not "Alfa" specific. They are, "Build a car from the ground up with over 3x the power originally intended, then beat the hell out of it to break it and then fix it to make it stronger," specific. All cars break. And a full-on testing stage, is supposed to highlight the weak areas.

You Lookin' At Me, Ossifer??

Spider has been performing very well over the last few weeks and I've been getting in all my runs while the temps are still decent.

So many reactions. So many LOL's!!

One of the best ones happened tonight as I was going through a notorious speed trap zone. I slowed down to just over the limit when I saw the usual two 5.0's posted up at the top of the hill. While keeping a sharp on on them, I left her in second at around 5K and just roared by....

Now here's the hilarious part. The one 5.0 that had the radar just slowly lowered it from his eyes, kept pointing it down the hill and almost broke his neck watching the Spider roll by with his jaw on the ground!!

Damn I wish I had that on video!!

Replys.

i dont know what the advantages are aerodynamically, but 4 fits my taste better. two looks fantastic, but having seen 4 before, it will always seem like something is missing. sorry street, but you spoiled me :P

Yes. I would agree completely. 2 looks good. 4 looks better. As well as having more aero advantages.

This Alfa probably makes me look super stupid being completely riveted to the screen, but I love it

Haha! Thanks Raarasutra! I had this one guy keep yelling, fuck, fuck, fuck and pointing as I made a left turn at an intersection the other day!!

Madd LOL's!!

usually doing anything to the body of any Alfa can be considered blasphemy.. but this is just perfectly executed, it looks different from anything I've seen done to any Alfa, and is just.. perfect.. and the most important thing (that most bodykit makers forget) is that you kept the scudetto..

massive respect for this car and his maker

Thanks thund3rdom3! It was a lot of painstaking detail work. So many hours invested that it's scary. To most, the lines look quite simple. But that was the plan - bring the Spider into 2012 and beyond. Thanks for the respect!

Spider Slates - 4 Became 2

Had her out tonight and during a quick stop to get some Arizona, I noticed a small oil leak from the pressure port. Looks like in my celebratory state yesterday, I had forgotten go back and add some Teflon tape to the threads. At any rate, it's now added and everything is dry.

Back to the wash we went and when there, I received a cal from a supplier that now has stock of F430 diffuser slates. Well, over the past couple weeks I have grown to like the 2 slats and I may go back to 4. But I'm in no rush. So I told him that I would order over the Winter. He said no problem as he usually has stock as they are not heavily requested parts.

At least I now have a supplier for them in the future.
