3.0 V6 Spyder - talk to me!

[Andyk]

Pat they are good value at present, and like you say very easy to mod. A decent exhaust, Q2 and a remap and WEY HEY!

I have all the above apart from re map....Oh and Koni Adjustables and Eibach Springs.......Notice that a remap gets about 12bhp from the V6...Is that worth it?.....Saying that with a good exhaust and induction kit you may be closer to 20 bhp which at 240bhp is more than the 3.2 isn't?

Lewis, I know its not a V6 but this seems great value for a face lift car and I must say I prefer the face lift look on the Spyder to the original....Niice comb as well...

Lewis, this is the other J10 for sale........Thought it looked goos with the full Autodelta converstion until I like at the pic of the back spoiler..What the **** have they done to it......They found a big bit of plastic and just stuck it on the back...................Sure if could be binned though.

Alfa made their own (albeit rare) turbo for this platform (2.0 V6 IIRC), so I don't know why anyone would be minded to spend 10K on attaching a turbo to the TS engine.

 

[dem maser]

I heard they had a turbo model when i was on alfa owner site, but i have never seen one for sale or knew anyone with one....must be the rarest thing out there.....

 

[Maser Sod]

I knew someone with one and saw it at the Bristol Italian Moto Festival about 7-8 years ago, it was a LHD though so maybe they were not made for the UK market.

That was right, it was an Italy only model and they sold it there instead of the V6 3L due to tax laws back then.

There was a guy on GTVV6.com/SportsAlfa.com that took his 3L V6 and added the turbo system. It was rapid by all accounts, but the guy who did it, Fabio from memory was a right t!t.

 

[Andyk]

Yes it was not on sale in the UK....There is one on ebay currently......You see the odd one coming up for sale now and again....
