  1. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Hi! Here are some photos of my Alfa Romeo Gtv 2.0 TS in a rare Rosso Alfa paint. Of course there still much work to be done, because this car was in extremely bad condition when I bought it. Now the car is waiting to have front spoiler fixed, engine repaired and gearbox replaced. Also i have to cope with rust :/ The car is from Switzerland - so i guess that red paint for Cup was only available there. Now I'm looking for Edizione Sportiva in 3.0 V6, but it's hard to spot any Oh, and here is my "new" exhaust: Cheers, Mariusz
  2. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Haven't been here for a moment, and since then some changes happened: First of all my old Biturbo, was sold. 185 HP was not enough for me, as well as poor, cheap interior. Then I got involved into a short romance with: But this is what came next: Maserati 222 - 223 HP, 1989 And, lately I've also bought Alfa Romeo Gtv, 2.0 V6, silver in poor exterior condition. The aim is: sport suspension, sport seat, sport steering wheel and rollbar. Then I'm going to take her to Nurburgring, and try to beat 10 min lap time. Photos and new topic will be here soon
  3. Spider with hardtop by five

    Nice to see you here five Car is absolutely stunning with this Hardtop...
  4. Hello from Poland

    So, what to say - i had an opportunity to drive this car 2 years ago. It was in very good condition, but had some scratches and terrible owner. The guy was revving it when engine was cold and driving it like it was a rally car. Fortunately he owned this car only for a couple of months. I hope that the next owner (true Alfaholic) repaired everything, what was to repair, and took proper care about this car. No it looks very nice despite quadrifoglio badges and this Lambo-orange teledials... And one thing... Personally i'd think about changing the carpet from gray to red or black.

  9. Alfa Spider in the French Provence & Côte d'Azur

    Very nice car! Have you considered changing rims? On teledials It'll look awesome in my opinion! And Your photos are great. What camera do You use? (Or are they after some photoshop operations?)
  10. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

  13. 916 Minimeet on Sunday

    Oh sorry I did not mean to offend You But the thing is that the GTA wheels looks good only with black (of course for me, and that's my opinion). Or maybe the thing is that your car isn't lowered at all, is it??
  14. 916 Minimeet on Sunday

    Very nice cars... You have to have a strong 916 Club in Croatia to do things like this. And of course I have to admit that Your 916 is the best looking from the cars there. I don't know why but I don't like GTA rims on green Gtv - it looks strange.
  15. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    I've bought complete 2.0 V6 TB for this 800e Gtv is my second car, so it can take even years it doesn't matter. I know about problems with air conditioning and console, but my friend has already finished project like that - everything works properly We will manage, don't worry
  16. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    We've got one supercharged TS in Poland, I've seen it and it has one problem - terrible sound To be honest V6 Busso rules. I thought swap is a mistake because Cups now are unique. The decision was made, accidentally I've just spotted and bought 2.0 V6 TB for 800e - i hope that in two weeks time the whole swapping process will start. Maybe it's a mistake - but full TS and gearbox repair costs here in Poland at least 1600e and swap costs 900e. So the decision was simple - we're going to improve Cup a little
  17. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Maybe the story is no so happy... But for me the most important is, that the car is "straight" - just a good base for classic. I've already invested a lot of money in it, but the biggest problem is that it needs more and more to be even in an average condition for me (I'm a perfectionist, maybe that's why ) I need to ask You for some advice - i have 4 options now - and i don't know which to choose. I can stay with this car, repair engine, gearbox and paint and enjoy weak TS, I can make a swap for 3.0 V6 - the cost is pretty much the same, but sometimes i think that it is a terrible mistake in this rare car! I can buy 3.0 V6 Edizione Sportiva I can buy 3.2 V6 in Rosso Alfa with Q2 already on board The decision must be quick and I'm a little bit confused
  18. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Persimmon - here is the story, but it is not much complicated It was manufactured in Italy, in 2001r and immediately went to Switzerland. I don't know much about owner, but I know he was 38 when he bought it. Unfortunately my "Cup" was crashed in 2004/5 - i don't know it for sure. I think that it was quite a big crash - for sure front was destroyed. Then it was taken to Poland by a tradesman, to be repaired cheaply and sold. After this mileage was: 46000 km.The customer was a woman - aged 34 - she told that "she liked the look". She was driving this car in the our capital - Warsaw - you know: small park places, much traffic and so on. The result of that were terrible scratches everywhere, so she painted them - nearly repainting whole car. She had at least two crashes and one was quite big. She stopped the car on the crossing and lorry crashed into it, pushing her into another lorry. Rear bumper, hood, front bumper - and unfortunately front spoiler were destroyed. Because the women was quite rich she decided to repair it once again. She used it for daily driving - kids to school, shopping etc. That's why she destroyed engine, clutch and gearbox... She was also smoking :/ Then she started new business and it became a company car (!!!). She stopped servicing it properly and the car started to become a ruin. The thing I'm sure is that the mileage when i bought it was ca 108000 km (about 67000 miles) . That was my story
  19. Hallo! I am the owner of Gtv Cup nr. 38 - it's rare because the original colour of it is Rosso Alfa. Hope i find some useful information here and meet other 916 owners
  20. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    My exhaust setup is very simple - i left 2 original cats, bought stock mid silencer and added 2 mats there. Finally i bought Engstler exhaust - without any silencers, but with diffusers. It sounds better than on vid - I'll try to find some better camera and make onother one
  21. Milenwerk and Nurburg

    So, some photos from Milenwerk - Berlin and Nordschleife - Nurburg
  22. Milenwerk and Nurburg

    If You are a true car enthusiast... Nothing better. Even just sitting in some spot place and watching is just amazing experience!! And of course there is also a big museum - worth seeing And of course - every single Alfa there is blinking to You Unfortunately - i managed to do only one lap in 15 minutes (uhm... ). My engine wasn't in a good condition and i wanted to get back home on wheels. Moreover after 1 lap my Alfa lost 3 gear and it was the end. Even though it was 2000 km journey for me and i was there only for a few minutes - i do not regret it at all! Next year - I'm going back, with 3.0 V6 i hope
  23. Alfa Romeo GTV Cup

    Alfa Romeo GTV Cup
  24. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Yes, unfortunately nearly entire surface of the car has been resprayed. That's why now I have problems with rust and poor quality of paint. Cup badge will be placed properly soon, I swear The problem is that someone glued it with so tough glue, that probably any operation will damage paint. But we will see. Original, made by Alfa Cup spoiler with new front bumper are waiting in the garage! I think that I'ill put them on the car next week
