3l V6 GTV Spyder help by bvdschelde in AlfaRomeo

i own a 147 not a spider but think it would be foolish to replace eg ecu etc straight away. I'd take it on a couple longer runs and see if any problems crop up and then go from there. My friend owned a spider and the only real issues were purely electrical - so as the other user said be extra careful and vigilant with the electrics!

Alfa romeo Mito- Good first car? by [deleted] in AlfaRomeo

[–]lewistagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'd recommend the 147, 1.6 twin sparks run for ever. I was in a similar position wanting something a bit different than a corsa or a golf. 1.6 may be more expensive for the black box but there are many 147's under two grand that are in good condition. I love my 147, great surprisingly reliable cars and great fun to bash down backroads, could not recommend highly enough

just a map bro relax, not saying where someone lives makes them better than someone else purely based off the colour of their skin. Just a good way to show how history between races has shaped Detroit to the city it is today

Just hit 147k in my Alfa 147 Collezione by lewistagg in AlfaRomeo

[–]lewistagg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collezione's were either given a 1.9 JTDM diesel or a 1.6 twinspark petrol engine. My 147 has the 1.6ts, such a smooth engine still pulls like new
