I was never really fond of the 164's but after seeing yours, daaayyummm.
Those are quite cheap here, you can get a v6 for under a grand easily. But getting more rare every day. A really good one will set you back a lot more though. But not those ridiculous prices I see on the US eBay every once a while.

@mike164s

what did you do for a suspension on this alfa164???

it's a sick awsome car!!!!

[mike164s]

slinger, They are getting more and more expensive over here. I envy you guys in europe, you get the newer alfas that we dont have, and the older ones are way cheaper! I would love to have a 155 Q4 or even a 147 GTA.

frescy, the suspension is a coilover setup that I built on KONI adjustable struts. Thanks!

Prices of specials like the 155 Q4 are rising here too, same with the 75(Milano) nices ones go for 10k euro's.

Talking about a 147GTA:

Nice to see some Dutch Alfa friends here aswell!

At the moment i'm the lucky owner of an Alfa 159.

This was how i bought her. She was already lowered 3cm's.


The first 'modification' came 1 month later. Everybody asked why i bought a Sportwagen/Stationwagon. They thought i was getting married, buy a dog and have a happy family, so I gave them an explanation


I wasn't cool enough to pick up 'whores'..so i wanted to lower her a little bit more, and bought a Bilstein B14 coilover set.


Mounted it.


And offcourse, i needed a S|W Sticker


A little sad story, i sold my Trackday Alfa 75, kissed her goodbye..


To make myself happy again, I went on a vacation to Spain. Really nice roads overthere!


Though, my tires didn't like it. Wrong alignment, 2500km's and a 40degrees Celsius road.


I ordered 2 new tyres, a little lower. Original it was 235/45x18, i bought 235/40x18. It destroyed my ABS and Tracktion Control computer.
Also decided to lower it more at front side. I had to remove the bumbstops. And she got aligned.


I drove around like this for a couple of months, enjoyed myself with my MK1 Caddy.


In wintertime..


And i wanted to modificate her a little bit more.
Yellow headlights and some new wheels should make me happy! She's a little dirty at the photo.


Now she's completely polished and waxed, waiting in the garage fot some better weather and a nice photoshoot!



I hope i didn't ruin the thread with my shitty pictures


Kind regards, Alex

Not a fan of the yellow lamps, but that is an otherwise phenomenally sexy car. Never seen a newer Alfa wagon before.

I rarely say fuck being stuck in the US, but fuck being stuck in the US.
