Default Enginetuner builds an Alfa!
We don't just do Subaru!

As it arrived..





And after..











It's going in a Stratos kit car, and it has to look the part!

Utterly awesome in appearance, always liked the look of those engines.

How did you make the block shine?

Sexy engine

We've just put some mild road cams in it. These engines sound fabulous!
As soon as it came in, I could picture it all looking pretty..
The car is being built by Scoobybits in Cornwall, I'll put some pictures up when it's finished.

Top work, the chrome inlet pipes make that engine look like a work of art. Modern engines nowadays are just hidden by dull matt black plastic covers.

Nice

First car I thought of for V6 alfa was a stratos rep.

I've got a 8V Integrale Engine that could do with that treatment..

Lovely work. Slap a quality Supersprint exhaust on that and you'll not hear anything nicer.

If your looking for a quirky car with bags of personality on the cheap get an Alfa V6. If you cant stretch to a GTA model try a V6 GTV. You can pick em up for not a lot They aint that unreliable but neglect servicing at your peril. If alfa say change the cam belt at 30k miles that means IT WILL SNAP at 30k miles and 10 meters

Everyone should have and Alfa in thier lives and a scooby and an evo and an RS and a ............

V6 Busso engine with equal length pipes sounds amazing
