The Alfa Thread

[MrBurgundy]

I don't have an e30, or BMW for that matter, but I did recently acquire a '17 Guilia TI Sport. Muffler delete, BMS intake coming, and a tune.

Those are sweet cars.

i've read that they are maintenance nightmares tho

[varg]

They are pretty cars and somehow the V6 models sound a better than an M3/4 despite V6s usually sounding worse than I6s
I have seen quite a few of them around here and I'm partial to the bright blue.

Ive also heard the 4cylinder models are nearly bulletproof and the problems all stem from the HiPo TTV6 version

Ran across this nice noise. Wait till he winds it up.

Lovely Junior!

My next vintage car (and maybe next car, in general) will be a Giulia Super or Ti... I've wanted one for years and years, but it never worked out. Im adamant that it will be the next project. Plan is to build a nice "1750"

I think my best bet will be finding the cleanest 1300 within my budget as I believe they produced more of them and it wont have the premium a 1600 Super would have. Bonus points if its a 60s car, though I will take anything up to '75. A roller with a clean body and interior would be even better, but I wouldnt get to drive it until I finish building the motor

Fun history. This is Norm. Norm raced with the Alfa Club of Southern California for years and years until maybe 2 years ago. He was an awesome old man, and everytime I saw him I told him I wanted to buy his Giulia when he "hung up his helmet" Being an old man, he never really remembered me so I would give him the song and dance everytime I saw him... sadly he sold it to someone else. Heres his Giulia, he put a huge yellow stripe across his trunk, basically giving anyone coming up on him the Blue flag to pass lol







And a few bonus pics of the Alan Ward Memorial from nearly 4 years ago... damn time flies



Santos Garage cars, the two similar cars were piloted by the Santos brothers.

Here’s an old Stanceworks article about the shop and the cars

Excellent battle up front with the Giulia taking the win






and there was these gems in the paddock









Heres looking forward to a wonderful 2021!

I can understand the Giulia Super/Ti lust. Always wanted one. Never found a good one when I was looking. Somehow, ended up with coupes all the time. Maybe one day...

Did another AROSC Driving School this weekend. The one and only Vintage Alfa there was this sexy GTV. I was quite shocked when he popped the hood!...







Short of the custom 180* on the intake it looked like it fit in there quite comfortably

[roguetoaster]

Not sure why we don't see more V6 swapped GTVs or Juniors.
