wow the GTV looks hot...A pretty good choice...I would consider some tweaks as the engine has lots of potential for sure.

My favourite car out of your lineup would have to be the 166. With that V6 it has to be a seriously fast and athletic sedan.

Welcome aboard. You'll fit right in

being a fellow alfista, i have to say congradulations on owning a gtv! oh, and WELCOME TO JABBAS WORLD!

OK, some answers to your questions.....

@TT
no problems at all with the renault, but i have to admit that this is my
first renault ever and the current mileage stays at about 5,000..... but
as far as i can say sofar: 'just a great car with massive power'

btw. do you have some tipps regarding foto locations (maybe in paris) and
foto in general? i'm looking for some awesome spot's where i can take
good pictures of my car.

@bmwpower
yes, it's a turbo, the same engine was used in the 164 & 166, Spider and the GTV,
here some datas.....

202 hp, 2 litre V6 turbo
max torque @ 2400 rpm's - 281 NM
0 - 100 km/h 7.2 sec
Vmax 245 km/h (aerodynamic version)

@thenumber1
yes, i do have some hi-res pictures and i will post them togehter with
the pictures of the currently 'unproofed' cars.

@MV
tweaks? what exactly do you mean, chiptuning? or 'stronger' modifications?
suggestions?

@ferrarif1an89
you're mentioning the 156 GTA in your signature - as far as i know this car
was never exported to the US

btw, a lovely car, a friend of mine
has one but sold it recently (bought a 166).

cu,
iwan

Welcome to JW, Iwan! Thanks for reading and complying to the rules before posting.

Very nice cars you have. I love the GTV as much today as when it was launched. The colour combination on your car is beautiful! Please provide the custom pics for the 75 and 166 as soon as possible, so I can see those cars as well.

nthfinity · 01-12-2005, 04:50 AM

those are some truly beatiful cars you have Iwan! thankyou for sharing with us

i'll be the first to admit that i dont know much about alfa's.

i wish they were more prevalent in the U.S. as they seem to be able to suite many needs on the road.

welcome to JW 8)

You are lucky

my mom's went back to the garage already 15 to 20 times and after the first 3 times they had to take back the car and order a new one since it was impossible to find out were the problems were. The second one still has some fault like the clutch pedal that stays every now and then buried into the floor and need to be raised with your left foot

As for photo locations, for Paris I am not maybe the right person since I went there just once lately. For sure a pic near the Tour Eiffel would be terrific, but pretty hard even at night. Would be great also a moving pic around the Arc du Triomphe, but that roundabout is always crowded... Place Vendôme? Or maybe just wait 4 or 5 in the morning and put the car sideway in the middle of the Champs Elisés

Attie · 01-12-2005, 05:05 AM

Hello Iwan! You have very nice Alfas!

Can you please give us some photos about the 75 America?

I had an America as well

Now I drive a 155.

Errr.. As I know the Spider didn't get the V6 TB engine. Only 1.8 TS, 2.0 TS an 3.0 V6. After the face lift 3.2 V6

Iwan · 01-12-2005, 05:35 AM

hi attie,

well, the spider was produced with the V6 TB engine, but only for italy and france.
i do have 75 pictures, but for the moment i can not proof ownership, the car is
back home in zurich and wrapped in plastic to prevent this 17 year old machine
from any kind of rust and dust

this car is shown in the 'das grosse alfa romeo 75 buch' book on page
181 & 182.

cheers,
iwan

bmwmpower · 01-12-2005, 06:01 AM

75 Alfa is very nice, RWD is great

Attie · 01-12-2005, 07:15 AM

Thanks Iwan!! This is veeery nice! One of my Alfamate has a same 75 like your was. (http://www.alfaamore.hu/members.php?id=138).

well, the spider was produced with the V6 TB engine, but only for italy and france.

Ah, then I apologize!
We have no V6 TB Spider in Hungary

and I've never heard of it. It's too bad...
I can learn always something new

Iwan · 01-12-2005, 07:26 AM

now just 1 thing.. I need the engine for my GTV6 project

btw this is my old 75 http://www.alfanatics.net/75.php , I bought another, but no pics yet as I dont have custom shot :-/

Iwan · 01-12-2005, 08:28 AM

price - good luck for your GTV6 project - GTV6 is also one of my favorites.
