LSD with 4.5:1

[Zane]

Hi,

I'm hopeful that some of the forum members might be able to help with this sale.

I've been asked to sell what I believe to be a GT Veloce 2000 - Built 12/71 (that's what the Alfa Romeo plate says...)

CAMS log book # 20020650.

The car comes with a spare engine and gearbox plus miscellaneous spares.

Is there anyone that can help me identify the key features that I need to add to the advertisement?

This is what I know;

Engine: 2000cc
Gearbox: 5 Speed
Full roll cage with CAMS Log book (catagory to be confirmed).

The car is garaged in Croydon Park NSW.

Any help or expressions of interest would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,


Zane.

Many thanks to those who've called and PM'd.

I've managed to collate some more info (and there's still more to come);

Current Owner Joseph Macare bought it 4 November 2001 from Oliver Biady (Farmborough Heights).

It's engine number is S19866 and the Chassis Number (VIN) is AR*2410772.

The car was bought as a registered vehicle and is still eligible for registration in it's current form (although I'd reckon you'd need to be pretty 'friendly' with your blue-slip authority!!!).

Most of it's racing has been in NSW apart from Classic Adelaide.

The receipts I've collected span from November 2001 to July 2006. I'm guessing that the engine spec is somewhere amongst them but it all reads like Greek to me!

The compliance plate reports that it was Oz complied in 1972 (April) however the Alfa Romeo build plate shows 1971 (December).

It appears to have Bilstein coil-overs and upgraded brakes. Also, the carburettors are marked "Weber 34".

I have a dyno sheet from "Tilley's Dynotune" as well as a spec sheet on the alignment from when I suspect the car was last raced.

I've spent several months cleaning up the car and whilst she's loud and bumpy on the road there's no denying the car is punchy.

Once again, any suggestions as to what additional information I might need to post, please let me know.

Joe (the owner) has added an extra Differential, A Rally sump-plate and a full set of springs to the package.

Stay tuned as there might be more additions....

[Zane]

Quick update. The spare differential is a 4.5:1 and has never been used since it was rebuilt by John Milan.

Joe is willing to sell this separately for anyone interested.

[Zane]

Another update.

The complete diff is an LSD with 4.5:1 ratio built by John Milan.

Also, Joe has located another complete diff but it's disassembled.

He's also found two more engines in various states of "undress".

All of these parts are available either as part of this package or separately.

[Zane]

Deposit taken.

[Zane]

Car is sold however the LSD with 4.5:1 ratio built by John Milan is still available.

how much for a lsd diff center ?

[Zane]

Joe wants to sell the LSD complete. He's looking for $2500 ono.

[Storm_X]

why so much??

my car isnt even worth that much

i wish i never blew my lsd up

Because if it's the one i'm thinking of they're as rare as rocking horse s***.

And also the fact that it's rebuilt.

LOL.  I'm not an Alfa owner but it's good to see that the problems with parts is universal....

I used to run a formula vee and the cost of a gearbox with the "right" 3rd gear ratio became astronomical a few years back.

[Storm_X]

how many diffs/gear boxes are there ?

You do realise that a 105 series LSD won't just go straight into a 116 Guilietta, it requires modifications to make it work?
