Hello old fella .

How much is not a lot ?And what driving do you do ?
Brake wise I would get some decent grooved fronts and Ferodo DS2500 .
Rears aren't as important but still put grooved units on and I've got some Mintex on there ,can't remember exactly what ...
That'll come to about £5/600 .
These work perfectly well for me .

Big brake kits are out there but if you have std wheels you'll have to go up in diameter to fit them so budget on £2.5/3k to fit all round :shock:

Suspension wise ,it's a bit limited .The Koni ride adjustables are no longer available so it's either OE or the ones on this site, £125ish a corner + springs I think .Probably worth investing in those ,I think they can be refurbed as and when they wear out ???

Air intake ..fit a Honda pipe and a cone filter .I can dig out the details .

As above really. Wheels are now even more limited though as Azev have gone bust I am led to believe.

Hi oldman,

Nice to hear of someone else who has owned their Alpine from new.

I wonder how many others there are :?:

Yes, the GAZ kits are still available, can't use AVO springs, mainly because they are not short enough and AVO do not do them anymore. I uused to be an AVO dealer.
