just bought an alfa!

[johngriff]

So, i worked at an alfa shop when i was 15 - like 18 or 19 (still hang around when im slow...). And so finally i got my second alfa romeo.

Just looking for a daily for the G/F and found this thing for $300.

Its a gold level milano 2.5, 77k miles?? Bad water pump... no big deal, i do compression check on sat to see if its good (guy seemed confident it would be), and im off to alfa land... to one day end up with the dual cam 3 litre twin turbochaged... somthing I've been dreaming about for like 6 years... So i finally get to get started on my euro-riceboyd prepubecent dream!! Yay

Oh yeah, but it'll still be my G/F's car.....LOL.


I'll take it to a D day or two (just with coil overs and wheels), just to show up all you n00bs!!

Wootage! As you can tell, PowerRangers are the shit!!!

Dude, alfa's look kind alike.. funky oldpeople car, with modernday designs. But i still wanna see your Alfa. It might prove me wrong.

SOMEDAY, he wants the 3.0 DOHC TT. he didnt buy that car for 300$ :duh: .

[johngriff]

yeah, the dual cam came in the last model 164 US(ghey) and a trillion of them in UK (my little brother is about to go, i might have him get the heads when he's up there).

SO yeah, i will post up pics of the car tommarow when i get it, the hood is a little worse for wear but the rest of the car is tits, im gonna get it repainted, new hoot, brembos up front and probably some 16x9's all the way around.

So far...
Water pump $67
oil pressure belt tensioner rebuild kit $11
various hoses and gaskets $15
timing belt $55..

After that, i have to get plates and tags (recently lein saled, thank god) and it'll be bangin around on the road.

Im re-building the rpsport.net site right now to just showcase the car's we're doing instead of selling stuff, (since we dont have to sell stuff anymore..) so the will be like a blog type somthing with everything we're doing lately (late updates... yeah!)

ive always had a soft spot for alfas...

my uncle was gonna sell me a mint 70's Alfa for close to nothing but the deal was i couldnt sell it, i had to drive it. I asked him if i could crash it into a wall. He said no. I said no. The End.

[johngriff]

Im guessing it was probably a gtv-6.... are you insane? Did you drive it? btw, got the car today, went out drinking tonight, pictures tommarow...
