Using Race Ramps for the first time. Pretty awesome and plenty of room underneath. View attachment 137282 View attachment 137283
These look really nice.
I need something for working on the lower front and lower rear - my back can't take leaning over for more than a couple of minutes.
Which height are these?
I was going to cheap out and the Harbor Freight ramps, but these look so much better.
Certainly a bit pricier, but much nicer.

Sample came in for the belts…

Looks amazing… View attachment 139543

The company I’m using (same who I bought the green from) is sourcing OEM cores, and going to put them all together for me.

I’ll have cores and Quadrifoglio green webbing available for sale shortly after.

He said I can ship them back to him and he’d put ‘em together for someone who might want them here :)

Also, hybrid leather with contrast stitching mats should be in this coming week.

After seeing the contrast, I think I’m going to do the calipers too.
If you go with the yellow belts then I think you need to commit fully and paint your calipers in ocra too. They may not stand out as much, but they will more than black; unless you can find another accent color, with the only options I see are green for the qv badge or red for the tail lights

I agree, that’s the conclusion I came to as well—calipers need to get painted. Then I have my mats coming in, a few more subtle carbon fiber bits and I think I’m going to swap out my rear taillights with the GTAm OEMs. Then, done.

If you swap the lights then I think you have to go ocra calipers; then you're completely two tone 😍

Not the person you quoted but here are the 56” long ones that are 8” high, coupled with the 8” race cribs:

It puts the bottom of the front bumper 17” off the ground with the stock suspension.

Pissed it off apparently… First CEL in 15 months of owning this one. Wasn’t completely warm, pushed maybe a little too hard on acceleration from 60-90MPH — Christmas in March. Wouldn’t clear after a few restarts, had this beauty waiting for me. Hoping it was a fluke thing, just passed 10,000 miles.

Welcome to the modern Alfisti Club. Now, we can say you own a legal Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio and it isn't a fake one.

Check your intake lower hoses. I was getting this and it went away when I reclipped the loose hose.

Replaced the DVs with the forge kit. I don't think it's going to be a major improvement, but I felt like the car had some inconsistent driveability (occasional low power at low rpm, some surging in second). Kit install is 3/10 if you don't drop any Allen keys into the bay, 5/10 if you do.
Interestingly, one of the stock BOV had a lot of weird scoring. I wonder if that one (left in photo) was intermittently sticking or failing.
It's cheap peace of mind and a really nice piece of kit. The piston BOVs are beautiful and like jewelry.

Here's a detail shot of the scoring. Only one stock valve is like this.

Yeah that scoring definitely doesn't look right. Was there a noticeable difference after the upgrade?

I'll drive it around for a week and decide. The strange driveability was intermittent, and did not happen on the brief test drive after install, so that's good.
