United States Testimonials from Alfaholics Customer
Adam Buchan
I have had a fantastic few drives in the Alfa since I picked it up from you – thank you for all the work that went in to that. It is a masterful balance of significant improvements while still retaining the character of the original, the Alfa was impeccable! Driving it hard all weekend on some excellent roads has given me a much better appreciation of just how far improved it is!

“Hey Max,
Just wanted to shoot a quick note to say how much I love the car, I have literally daily driven it since I arrived in France, and recently did a nice 500KM in Luberon and Provence over the weekend, what a machine!”

“I cannot thank you and the team at Alfaholics enough for the exquisite preparation of the Ti Super for this wondrous, over 2000km journey through France.
It handled so beautifully the country roads and autoroutes of France.
Traffic, steep city climbs and occasionally crushing heat were all taken in stride all the while with that superlative twin-cam roar.
I don’t think I have ever received such a number of smiles on the road!
How much better was such a dream trip in a true Italian masterpiece!”

Wow…wow…wow! Had a lovely drive back from Alfaholics after they fitted a Fast Road Stage 1 Suspension Pack, Sports brakes and discs, Sports Ignition Pack, Stainless steel exhaust, Alfaholics filter and Ram Pipes, new propshaft, rebuilt gearbox and diff. Enjoyed the car so much that I took a detour via The Cotswolds. Love the neutral handling and the sound of the throaty exhaust crackle on the overrun. A big thank you to Max and his Team.

Dear Alfaholics,
So, finally the Alfa is back on the road with the many bits and pieces from you.
The quick steering arms are a superb improvement while making no significant difference in the input effort required. Together with the adjustable gta top arms the turn in is much more positive and the grip at the front seems considerably improved.
At the back the Aluminium T-Bar (Race/Track day version) seems to have made the breakaway by far more predictable and easier to manage. At the same time, I do not feel any noticeable increase in noise or vibrations being transmitted back into the car.
The engine is rebuilt to deliver strong torque but with the ability to rev freely and we have modified the original intake filter box to allow a maximum of air into the carbs while retaining the original look and close to original sound – beautifully sonorous without being too harsh. The new radiator and oil cooler package looks beautiful and despite the high temperatures we are having, keeps the oil temperature at around 100 degrees even after longer motorway runs – something the old system would not have been capable of doing.
All in all, a perfect package for me, many thanks for the great parts, prompt supply and good advice.
I would really like to get it back onto a track to see how everything comes together “in extremis” maybe you will be organising a trackday sometime in the future? I will be dropping by the Nürburg Ring in the not too distant future (it’s only about 1,5 hours drive away) but given the length and complexity of that circuit, will certainly not be able to push it as hard as would be possible for me at Castle Combe.
All the best for the summer,
Yours, Sebastian

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to send you a email to thank you for the great support you’ve given me throughout my project. I really wouldn’t of been able to complete the project without your sound advice. The unparalleled effort you guys put into your fantastic GTA-R parts made my car such a treat to drive on track.
Big thanks to the whole team out there for all the love you guys give to these fantastic little cars, and a special thanks to Jim as he practically built my car remotely through emails and lengthy phone calls. I have honestly never dealt with any company that matches the level of customer service and support that seems to be embedded in the Alfaholics backbone.
Moving on to the next project! Im finalizing a deal for a 68 Guilia that i want to build as a road going daily-ish driver again with lots of your go fast parts ;)
Thanks Again!Hussain

I have done maybe three hundred miles now since the completion of the work done by Alfaholics on my 916 Phase 1 12 valve 3 litre Spider and I have to say that the difference in the car’s performance is amazing. It just does not feel like the same vehicle. With the up-rated sports suspension including the Alfaholics handling kit (front and rear anti-roll bars), Q2 Limited Slip Differential, complete Alfaholics sports exhaust system, up-rated braking using Alfaholics 6 Pot front calipers and Brembo grooved discs and replacement clutch, the handling and performance of the car is dramatically improved. Understeer has been virtually eliminated, no matter what you are asking, it goes where it is pointed and now, with the up-rated braking system, actually stops when you want it to! The car is definitely significantly quicker and more responsive all round.
Thanks Andrew and the team for an excellent first class job all round.

Dear Alfaholics
Yesterday I finally had my new tyres fitted, 185 65 14 Toyo Proxes CF1 (best choice available inthis size I guessed).
What a difference it has made, she steers so much lighter. (tyres were 20 years old!!!)
All has come in to its own now. Full of confidence through the turns :)
Many thanks for your fantastic suspension kit.
After all happy with the ride height as well, just not too low for street use, only a gentle scrape from the sump-guard as I enter my driveway.
Next up: more power and better seating position.
When the time is right, you’ll hear from me again.
Thanks to all the team,
Cedric.

“Hi,
I recently purchased a front pipe, sport cat and centre section stainless exhaust for my 916 Spider T.Spark from you and had it sent to (and fitted by) BLS Automotive in Lincoln.
I thought you might be interested to hear that Phil and Tom at BLS were very complimentary about the quality and ease of fit of the system. I did see the parts prior to fitment and would echo their observations on the quality of fabrication – and also the difference in weight between the original and the Alfaholics parts! It actually took longer to remove the old system than it did to fit the new one.
Having driven the car for a while now with it in place the new system does seem to have made the car more ‘eager’ to respond to the throttle and also gives a nice sound without being too loud or boomy when cruising.
You could say I’m a very satisfied customer..!
Regards,
Mike J Doe”

“Hi Max!
As mentioned before; thanks a lot for all your help with our build of a great car! It took a much longer time (and money) than expected but it was a lot of fun! As you can see in the first photo you have my son Johan standing at the car as a very proud 50% owner and a coming race driver of the car and the second one just showing how great we feel it came out! I must say again that all of you have been absolutely fantastic in your support, good advice, and of course top quality parts, and without you, it would not stand on its wheels today! We hope for the best and next year it will be on the track!
Again: to ALL of you of at Alfaholics: THANKS A LOT!
With best regards, Ulf”

Hi Guys,
I am very satisfied the way the car is handling as result of your fast road suspension kit and the 2L engine picks up, revs and sound with your all stainless steel sport exhaust. I drive her almost every day
Together with 4 new red Koni’s, new silent blocs, steering joints etc. the car is really fun to drive. Many modern car can not keep up with my pace in in long and medium turns and even while cornering.
Furthermore I have given the Giulia a body restoration and now she looks as new, see the picture. Once again thanks for the advice regarding the suspension (Combi of A and B with a set of spacers. Although there is a large LPG tank in the boot and driving with luggage or extra persons, she still is almost horizontal. I think she looks really awesome. Others think so too, as I get a lot of smiles.
Best regards,
Jan Willem

“Thanks to our friends Max and Andrew Banks at Alfaholics in the U.K. we were able to quickly and accurately order the best of their light weight parts, like spring plates, narrower diameter springs, trailing arms, spindles, and even honest to goodness magnesium 15×5.5 wheels that weight about 8lbs less per than the set we used last year. Kudos to Alfaholics for not just selling us everything and the kitchen sink. They worked with us to determine the right parts and even opted not to sell us parts that, while light, were maybe not durable enough for rough road use over seven days. Andrew and Max are Alfa experts and true gentleman. Gracias amigos!”

Service was outstanding, postage and packaging can’t be faulted and they arrived so fast to Australia.
The quality for the price is just brilliant.

“Hi,
I recently bought a full exhaust system for an Alfa GTV. I just want to write to you to say how happy I am with my purchase.
You were a pleasure to deal with and very helpful giving me advise over email and on the phone. The delivery was very prompt and the exhaust was with me in no time at all. As for the exhaust itself, it is fantastic, it looks great and sounds even better. The build quality is of a very high standard and it fitted easily. It has a lovely purr at idle and a sporty rasp on acceleration. It compliments your driving style, when you want to cruise it is unintrusive and when you want to undertake more spirited driving it gives you a sound track to go along with it. Performance seems to have improved too. All in all I am very happy with it. Highly recommended.
Thank you,
David Mc Tigue”.

“Dear Max and the Alfaholics staff:
I have all great things to say about my experience with Alfaholics! From initiating an order to the prompt delivery of well packaged product.
First, the design of your products was spot-on for what was needed in the construction and development of my GTV race car.
Secondly, the craftsmanship involved in the manufacturing of your products has been extraordinary. Every component fit precisely as designed, and each has performed as required on track, at speed.
And, third, the consultation and support regarding matching each of the components to the specific parameters within which this particular car was going to be prepared was exemplary. The guidance offered regarding baseline setup once the componentry was installed, and establishing expectations for the on-track performance was exceptional as well.
The race experience thus far has included a substantial improvement in the balance of the car, where understeer and oversteer are kept in check with both the improved roll center and the increased adjustability now built into the suspension.”

“Alfaholics wheels arrived today. WOW! Please allow me to repeat that. WOW! In addition to being beautiful, they are light, and immaculately executed. I like seeing evidence of both competency and commitment to the task. Meanwhile, I ordered these (and a few other things) from them I think last Thursday. Five days across the ocean with two very large boxes, delivered by the USPS to my shop door.
Everyone please stand and applaud.
I was really gobsmacked by the wheels. I was expecting a rough surface with casting imperfections, possibly heavy, but nevertheless an improvement over what I had. These wheels are perfect. I can grip a wheel in one hand and hold it straight out with little strain. Alfaholics publishes the weight on their website, which I forget at the moment, but I am hoping they are as strong as they claim. Tires won’t be here until Monday or so, which leaves me pacing up and down with impatience.”

Hi Andrew,
I recently enjoyed a track day at Donington and just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with your handling kit. The car was a joy to drive, with very little roll, good turn-in, higher corner entry speeds and great transitional changes of direction, big improvement. I could lean on the front far more than expected, until the Goodyears started to complain.
Also alot of people commented on how good it sounded going past the pit wall; flat in 3rd and into 4 at 6700 only problem was I couldn’t hear it myself!!!
I will be ordering some bits and pieces, bump stops etc. Speak soon.
Kind Regards,
Dave.

“Hey guys just thought you might like to add this one to your photos. Recently took the car to a club meet and it was very highly praised. I owe it to you guys for your brilliant wheels and suspension kit. The steering column extender with the Momo wheel brings a smile to my face every time I enter a corner as every Alfa I’ve ever owned felt like you needed to be a gorilla to drive it properly (short legs and long arms). I hope you continue to develop your excellent products as I will continue to add them to my pride and joy!
Cheers fellas”

As a long term Alfista, I nearly owned all the 105 chassis version possible. I know the Banks’ for more than 5 years now and I am a faithful customer for race and road parts.
My last road car was a 2000 GTV with Alfaholics road B kit, Alfaholics 4 pot brakes and some comfy mods. But I always find the car tiring on last distance tour (like the Centenary in Milano) majorly because of wind noise on door windows and a bit too long legged for that nearly stock engine.
As a pure afficionado of 4 doors Alfa’s ( I owned in the 90’s a 1750 Mk1 ), I decided to make MY berlina.
After months of researches, I found this time warp 71 1300 Super with 65000kms on the odometer at a well-known classic Alfa dealer. But it was a 1300. So we settled a deal or the car without engine drive train and wheels. I had in the garage a spare ex-racer torquey 2000 engine and 10/43 CP on the shelf. Many talks further with Max who was at that time working on Andrew’s TI super Replica, and the 1300 Super project, leads to a 2000-Super car.
I wanted an effortless car with comfort and efficient suspension. So I went for:
FIA kit 2”1/4 on slightly lowered suspension ( minus 3 cms )Alloy rose jointed T-barLightened trailing armsFull Alfaholics geometry kitSport Koni all aroundAlfaholics 4 pots calipers kit with rear aluminium calipers.Screw rear brake limitorEngine is that ex race one with long alloy car mount and 40 DCOE carbs for extra torque (power estimated to 150-160 bhp no more but flat bottom torque curve ) and 123tune ignition specially made.Full Alfaholics SS exhaust lineLive axle is 1750 10/43 CP on 40/25 Alfaholics LSDAlfaholics 7×15” GTA Veloce wheels with custom Alfaholics smoke paint finish
Early summer tests in Aveyron during my holidays, revealed a fantastic torquey car, with all the comfy side of the Berlina. What a difference with the GTV. As says my wife: far less sensual but so more usable. The full suspension prove the efficiency of a modern car on those little twisty roads (just ask that A6 Quattro owner).
I really don’t feel the extra weight compared with the GTV. In fact I must say that the slightly shorter final ratio + big improvements in wind noise and comfier seats largely put the Berlina as the best 105 Classic choice.
I was just a little disappointed with the front damping on bad bumpy roads. So having spoken to Max, the latest improvements are 2 front special Alfaholics race dampers with road valving. The dampers are beautiful, even on softest position. They have dramatically changed the car. At 140 Km/h you feel like a modern car. Incredible, what a balance. The speed in motorway long apex is terrific with absolutely no drama.
I have now also fitting an Alfaholics alloy radiator and low temperature thermostat for extra town cooling.
Next car will surely be a 1750 Berlina mark1 with same suspensions tricks and an Alfaholics TS and why not aircon as well!

“Dear Jim:
Thank you for the shipment of the wheels. I got them today on Saturday. My wife and I could not believe how beautiful those GTA Veloce Supperleggera wheels look. We were both blown away. These wheels looks awesome! I got the other items you sent inside the wheels. Your service to the U.S. is extremely fast. It is the fastest service I have ever gotten from anyone.

Thank you. I will be ordering more things from you in the near future. I am extremely please with all the items in my order. Thank you for all the advice you and Max provided with the decision of getting these wheels. Take care.”

Dutch Alfaholics customer Erwin Arentsen’s Alfaholics Upgraded GTA Replica
“Hi Max and Andrew,
I thought it might be interesting to read my experiences with my newly build GTA Replica. Honestly I think it is the most fun You can get out of a classic car. Yes I modified the car a lot with its 216 bhp big valve twin spark, geometrykit, big brakes, racingdiff, racingclutch, race propshaft, stainless under axle exhaust, alu t-bar etc. etc. but no way I could have spent my money better! It is just stunning, the big valve twinspark behaves so unbelievable nice and pulls trough all gears from 1500 rpm so easy it really is unbelievable. Handling is stunning, the difference the Geometry kit, alu t-bar and racing diff make is fantastic.
Best thing is especially in fast corners the front end grip is amazing and combined with being able to steer the car on the throttle with help from the diff makes so much fun! (see Youtube link alfa gta/r)
One problem I have with this car now, it makes all other 105’s I drive slow and boring, so fantastic job guys! Thanks a lot for this amazing car!”
Erwin, a keen trackday driver and mad Alfaholic, sent his GTA Replica across to Alfaholics for a full upgrade to top trackday specification, works completed included:-

Dear Max/Andrew and the team,
I just thought i would let you know that our Alfaholics spec’d 1750 won the Indonesian Retro Championship for the third year in a row!
For the final event of 2011 we managed to qualify on the pole in a 49 car field (race was restricted to 45 starters) but a gear shifting problem forced us to fall back and finish in 3rd place, which was still good enough to win the 2011 Championship by 2 points!
The competition has been getting tougher with the entry of more mid-80s European cars to balance the previous Japanese domination (ie: a 16v Mercedes 190E placed 2nd in the 2011 Championship and an E30 BMW 318 finished in 3rd place), so we have had to spec up a bit.
(The Retro Series allows all 2-Liter vintage cars including 16-valve engines, up to a 1986 chassis model. Other marques making up the large grids include Datsun 510 and B310, Toyota Corolla DX, BMW 2002 and 318 E30, Fiat 124, Alfa GTV and Giulia, Mercedes 190E, Renault 5TL, Morris Mini, etc.)
We are still using the Alfaholics 218hp TS engine for the third straight year without a rebuild! The original racecar build also consisted of many Alfaholics parts including:-
Tubular wishbone suspension
Rose joint track rod kit
2¼ “ adjustable race spring kit
Watts linkage conversion
Rose jointed anti-roll bar
6-pot brake kit
Adjustable dual circuit brake balance box
218BHP Alfaholics Twinspark race engine
Full race paddle clutch with billet EN24T flywheel
Racing differential
T45 spec rollcage,
and of course much more – all Alfaholics produced parts!
To keep that competitive edge, this year we have added the Alfaholics aluminium adjustable shocks, Alfaholics full length race propshaft, and the Alfaholics aluminium front hubs.
With all of the Alfaholics suspension modifications, this particular Alfa has acquired the reputation of being the best handling Retro car in Indonesia. And combined with an engine that produces 251 Nm of torque over 2000 rpm rev range, it has produced an overall package that is competitive with the mid-80s 16-valve cars.
Thanks for the fast, reliable parts and all of the setup advice. Look forward to Alfaholics continued development of new racing parts to keep us in front!
Best regards,Robert Paul

“Hey Max, Andrew, Mr Banks and Jim. Just a note to say Thank you! Thank you for turning my Giulia Super into a World Sports car! My “Holics” stuff as I like to call it has transformed my Giulia from a mid field Pre 66 runner to a race winner across the board! “GIULIA CAESAR” as it has affectionately become known is now a proper race car. Every time I’ve added an Alfaholics part the car has gone faster. It has so far proved completely reliable too. This car started off doing 1:29s at Zwartkops in 2009. Today it can lap Zwartkops in under 1:15! I can’t think of a better return on investment than that! Lets see how we go at Kyalami!
Thanks again guys and keep up the great work and race parts supply!”

“To Max and all of your superb crew!
After the rather disappointing result in Barbados (not the car’s fault maybe the driver), we took our 1600 Sprint GT into Sherwood Forest at the weekend. First forest event for me in 25 years. I must thank you and all of your staff for all of the hours of technical advice and parts advice that have gone into the building of this historical 1 category car, which is for rallying of cars aged from 1959 to 1967.
The car in the forest was absolutely superb. It’s slightly narrow track to the Escorts made it a little unstable at high speed (as we could not run completely in their tracks), but when we move to full Historic Rallying being in H1 class it will not run with the Escorts.
All of the parts supplied by Alfaholics worked great and again I cannot thank you enough for yours and all of your staff’s hard work in bringing this to fruition. This is the first time I had driven the car in these conditions and as much as she was possibly 3 second per mile behind the Escorts and the Datsun 240 Z, I do feel that she and I can start taking lumps out of that!
Regards
John”

“Hi Max,
Last Saturday was the final HSCC race of the year and the car remained comfortably quicker than all the other Alfas. When the season’s points were finally added up I finished second in class and 9/54 overall. I also won the Samuels Trophy for the best placed Alfa Romeo in all the HSCC championship. We managed to achieve fastest lap in the wet at Donington Park and on a drying track at the Oulton Park Gold Cup, plus class pole at Brands Hatch… I won the historic class of a 50 minute Alfa Championship race at Snetterton on the 15 October. I will aim to have the car up and running again in time for your Alfaholics Trackday at Castle Combe in the spring.
I would like to thank you for ALL the help and advice you have provided, without which progress this year would have been considerably more difficult.
With thanks and best wishesJames Nairn”

“Thought I ought to drop you a note to let you know how we got on with the car once we had made the changes to the suspension…We ran at the Australian Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek, which incidentaly was the biggest Historic Touring Car event ever to be staged in Australia… this field is made up in the majority by V8’s. Chevy Camaro’s, Holden Monaro’s, Ford Falcon’s and Mustangs etc.
We set the car up in the shop paying careful attention to ride height as per the email shot of your track car…I drove it for the first time on the Friday practice and it was good straight out of the box… the ability to carry much better corner speed thanks to the handling, we took two whole seconds of our previous best time at Eastern Creek and performed at that time consistently through the whole weekend. Tyre wear was near perfect!
Due to the progressive grids for the weekend we found ourselves on sixth position on Sunday morning and the Fourth on Sunday afternoon for the Trophy race. That is unheard of in this very competitive class. We managed to stick it up the inside of a Torana on the first lap on cold tyres and made a break for it and consolodated third position which we held till the last lap.
Thank you very much for all your input. It was worth it!” Spencer Rice, Classic Speed Shop, NSW.

“Balance on the car is great and with zero bump steer, it’s so much easier to control the car mid corner without having the steering wheel kick around all over the place. So power overseer has become really controllable and it’s such a pleasure to drive now!”

“I wanted to let you know that I installed all of the suspension bits on the GTA and the results were great! I drove the GTA in the Saturday morning race, I qualified in the top four and knocked 6 seconds off my best time for that track! While some engine works certainly helped, a great deal of credit should go to your suspension kit: the GTA was brilliant to drive and amazingly predictable! I thought you’d want to know. In the mean time I’d like to order a similar kit for my ’74 GTV!”

“Max, The car is faster now and we feel a great improvement in handling with the Blue coil kit. It is more stable and the way it moves on the corners, definitely it’s much better. Now we recognize the difference over other kits we have bought in the past! Thank you.

Paco Snr”

“This is a photo of our GTA replica (now in race trim) competing in its first race (Alfa Trofeo Series) at Zwartkops in March this year only a few months after completing in a gruelling classic car rally from Johannesburg to the equator. We were the only Alfa on the trip (about 30 cars entered) and the poor thing didn’t skip a beat the entire way thanks to plenty of new Alfaholics parts on the car.”

“Dear Max & Andrew
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team at Alfaholics for transforming my car into a super competitive car.
As you know the HRSR is an incredibly competitive class and to feature in any of their races a car must be very well prepared and very quick.When I brought my car to you it was riddled with reliability and handling problems, and, it suffered from a lack of power.
Your suspension package fixed the handling problems immediately and it is now one of the most predictable racing cars I have ever driven. The new engine that you supplied is a rocket, the net result being winner of Class B in the HSCC Historic Saloons.
The car will be coming back to you shortly for a thorough going over during the winter period, and I’m looking forward to the installation of those new shock absorbers.
Thanking you again,
Jim Fuller”

“The car is a changed car – much more responsive on the throttle. And the new wheel and tire combination makes it feel much more natural -(Had oversized wheels and tires on it before). Have had heaps of comments about how good the wheels look!
Thanks again for the speed with which the parts came over – place an order on the net, they appear 2 days later! No hassles. Brilliant!”

“The exhaust is fantastic, thank you very much! The commentary on your website, along with the pictures, was very helpful. The performance increase is immediately noticeable and the engine note is great (as opposed to other performance exhausts that are just too loud) as well as feeling a lot smoother than before. The appearance is also very subtle, especially in a time when people are over-modifying their cars. I look forward to hearing from you further once the Sports Cat is available for my version (CF3). Many thanks.”

“What a difference!
The ride on the car is superb with no fidgeting like before, good body control and composure… the steering on country roads feels much more precise as it is not fighting with floaty suspension anymore.
It is the ride quality that has surprised me the most. Another quality and successful Alfaholics kit!
Thanks for the advice.
I wish I had changed the suspension before, it really is great!”

I was smiling whilst driving down a particularly twisty road this morning and realised that I hadn’t said thank you for your help, patience and service, as predicted my car is like new and stops on a sixpence (as promised) and has made me grin from ear to ear each time its started!”

“Last summer my Giulia Super had clutch problems, it broke down three times. Now the car is fitted with Alfaholics Lightweight Steel Cable Clutch Flywheel and the F&S clutch assembly. The flywheel is beautifully machined and with snug fit to the crank and the clutch. Now, after a 1600km the first week after putting all things together I got a different car to drive!”

“The Alfaholics springs with Koni yellow sport shocks are a revelation. The car’s stance is very stable with negligible body roll. But it’s still supple enough to handle bumps without complaint. Frankly, the ride is very comparable to a BMW M series or M-B AMG. No wonder this car was so well respected in the 60’s, it’s even pretty great today!”
