Re: GTV-6 suspension and genteel discourse

[Jake Thomas <jakest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once again, I am indebted to my fellow digesters.  Thank you John and Doug
for your comments, and Gerry for explaining the discrepancies!  I feel that
I have enough information to begin, which as we all know is the hardest part.

People do the strangest things in the name of performance.  For example, my
first Alfa, a 78 spider I still have, came with (among many other things) a
number of emissions controls removed and running a long way too rich.  But
the more I put things back towards stock, the better it ran.  The best
performance I had was when I gave up trying to tune around a bad TA,
replaced it, and followed the factory SPICA setup!  Oh, and maybe just a
tad more overlap on the cams.. <g>  The GTV6 promises to be a similar kind
of beast.

As for the genteel discourse, suffice it to say that I am English, which
here in California at least is enough to explain any number of
eccentricities of speech.  It doesn't cut any ice back home, of course.

Best regards,
                               Jake
