I
have to let my lovely roadster go as I’m in transition and can’t take her with
me. I hope that she finds a good home with another Alfa enthusiast. She is mechanically
sound: always starts, idles smooth, shifts and accelerates beautifully. I’ve always
parked it in my garage overnight and driven her frequently. I have owned this Spider
for seven years and she has been very reliable and loads of fun to drive. She’s
definitely a head turner. In
the last few years here is some of the work I’ve completed (all records
available): ·
Cylinder head redone and new gasket
(completed April 2014) ·
All worn hoses and fuel lines replaced (no
leaks) ·
Installed an oil pan guard ·
Poly bushings, new brake lines, clutch
slave, line and clutch pin ·
ANSA exhaust complete with cat (passed Air
Care / smog test easily) ·
Oils used: Red Line or Castrol 20W 50
non-synthetic ·
Ignition, water pump, fuel pump and engine
mounts ·
Sport springs and Bilstein shocks ·
Plastic gear shift knob replaced with a
gorgeous wooden knob Everything
works except for the air conditioning. I believe all the parts are there if you
want to set it up depending on your location. Power mirrors and power windows
work. There
are some issues (see photos) that need to be addressed: ·
Rock chips ·
The stitching on both driver and passenger
seats is coming apart which is common to '84-'85 Alfas ·
The horn is disconnected at the moment as
it was going off intermittently. ·
There is a small crack in the dash top
left over the glove compartment ·
There is minor rust rear right ·
Crack in the paint above right rear tire ·
Wheel well has a couple of small holes
I’m happy to answer your questions if
there is anything I haven’t covered here. |

Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.

2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track
Mon, Apr 18 2016Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
