My mate once had an alfa...

Now I am sure you have heard all the 'my mate' stores, however I strongly suggest you listen to this one.

This lovely car normally ran on 3cyls, other than when it was running on 2. I probably spent more time pushing it than he did driving it, it cost a fortune to fix, to still not have it running right. It didnt turn very well. And the best fun we had was after it crashed, and we could go stuff it bush bashing, getting revenge on it. That car was the devil. aka alfa 33.

That said if your buying a 2000+ model they shouldn't be too bad.

They are a bit of a lottery, my first car was an alfa sud, had lots of fun and never broke down, 2nd alfa was a 33, broke down almost every day, and a friend of mine had a gtv6, one of the most fun cars I have ever driven, a few problems... Just get an alfa mechanic to go over it with a fine tooth comb, and cross your fingers :thumbsup:

Dear God!!!! ;)

Alfa Romeo need help from professionals....yes, yes you do. Or possibly that is the sign you will leave permanently errected on your fron lawn.

Seriously, if you are mechanically inclined and an experienced panel beater (mucho tin worm) OR you have money to burn get one. As for the newer ones they dont seem to hold their resale and they are FWD.

Save your bucks or better still by a skyline, good luck :nyaanyaa:

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
