The 250,000 mile Alfa thread

Except this one is awesome! Really!

1991 Alfa Romeo 164S, with 253 kmiles. 0_0





Ah, but there's more! Same owner for the last 17 years, he's done a ton of work, and has been way more meticulous than I ever could have been. It's in completely amazing shape-- only a few stone chips and worn leather (but not a rip to be found). Konis and nice HIDs and a stereo and a weird rear-mounted but very effective AC are the only mods. The S model, IIRC (I just got a lot of information on this car in a short time-- forgot a lot of it :P), is mostly the ground effects and spoiler and some engine work, which brings the power up to 200 hp, which would be the most I've ever had if it didn't have 250,000 miles.

Here is the list of things it needs:

...



The sound is soooo good! I have a video:

Alfa!

[Laconian]

[Cookie Monster]

The sound is soooo good! I have a video, but YouTube is being a pain with the upload, and it's too dark for pics. Later!

Link to the original craigslist ad, though I expect it will be gone soon (it looks better in person-- just bad photos): http://boise.craigslist.org/cto/3839715146.html

Does the S model not have an electronically controlled suspension?

I fjnd it odd that it apparently did not have AC as standard.

It's not loud enough. Remove the muffler!

[CALL_911]

Hell yeah, congrats. Awesome car.

If you want a car that's in the shop every 1.5 hours, eat your heart out. I would have bought a Toyota Camry V12! 



Congrats! Nice car, but it needs to be white or red instead of black.   

Check this out! 

[Laconian]

Mmm, that engine note is so rich it's almost fattening.

[CJ]

Soon.


Awesome car.

[Secret Chimp]

This is doing it right.

Lollerskates!

I saw this car around base when I lived there.  I had to take a closer look since I didn't know what it was when I first moved there.

It used to, but it's kind of a pain in the ass, so now it's Konis. AC was factory installed, but apparently it was too anemic for this guy, so he installed... more AC.

All red would be better, but with the gray cladding on the bottom, I prefer the black. Not quite the classic Italian color, but it does look totally badass.

[Rupert]

And Euro projectors with the HIDs...

Thanks dudes! I'mma insure and drive it ASAP!

[93JC]

You crazy, magnificent son of a bitch.

[CJ]

Soon.

Sounds like every other V6 I've ever heard.

[mzziaz]

Ohhh, pretty cool!

[Colin]

Bravo!

I'm officially jealous. This is the best new acquisition on CarSpin in 2013.

Oh, and black really works on a 164. When I ordered mine, I changed the order from red to black............. and it looked stunning.

[Rupert]

I went up Bogus Basin just now, and I can tell you it is fun! Handling is solid, torque steer isn't too terrible, and the sound and power >4000 RPM totally rules.









Still not great pics, but I forgot my good camera. :P

[Rupert]

I think that engine rivals the Yamaha in the SHO for FWD V6 engine looks.

Indeed.

[Cookie Monster]

Fuck you man, I'm so jealous.

[J86]

youre hilarious.  good luck!

[Madman]

Most epic CarSpin purchase EVER!!!  We salute you, sir!

[cawimmer430]

Was the AWD 164 ever sold in the US?
