For what it's worth I don't think this car is a 1983, I believe it is a 1984. It has '84 wheels, the '84 contrasting paint stripe at the rockers, and the larger post-'84 emblem on the grille.

What is the year code in the VIN?

VIN is of the form: ZARAA6690E100xxxx

A=1980
B=1981
etc

You can really see the "family" resemblance.

And both are beautiful!

...and what a beautiful circuit Mas du Clos is!

Last weekend with the Mid-Atlantic Alfa Romeo Club:

Virginia International Raceway South Course: 1:48

(Probably the slowest time of any Alfa there )

Just out of curiosity, why would Bosch be reluctant to release this information?

Summit Point (Main Course): 1:55.83 (Hey it's a tired, stock '84 with 195/60R15 Pirelli P6000s on it! I have Greg Gordon's hose kit but I guess that didn't help :roll: perhaps I should have purchased red instead of black hoses! :wink: ) But seriously, anybody have a benchmark for a transaxle Alfa ar...

BTW, never advocated this for a street car, just brought it up because I <<thought>> people might be interested. My bad, I guess. Reale, Many of us ARE very interested in what you have accomplished (even if we will likely never do a mod like this on our own street cars). I am always interested in s...

If you look on the old site at this thread: http://www.alfagtv6.com/discus/messages/200/429.html?TuesdayApril420000117pm (or just search for "push rod" (in quotes)) you find a discussion that the noise may be from the valve train and not the bottom end. A quote from that thread from someon...

First, after re-reading my post I want to say that I was not trying to insult our youthful colleagues who enjoy Japanese-engineered products, BUT much of what appears on the cars of enthusiasts under 30 is for style and not for performance. Take what you see with a HUGE grain of salt. (Both stock an...

Do Integras have bigger rotors because they need bigger rotors or because 'bling' sells in that market???

Some Integras have big rear wings too!

I totally fell for it!

Very funny!

If you are talking about the '84 model year (the only year with the dark contrasting paint along the rockers) I **believe** it is AR763 "Grigio Nube Metallic", but it may be AR755 "Gray Poly". (The paint code sticker under the rear hatch only gives the main body color not the con...

I see now, thanks!

Naive question: How can you pump more volume without increasing the oil pressure? The only way I can see to do it is to enlarge the oil galleries in the block. (Or decrease the viscosity of the oil...) It seems as if a pump with 25% more volume would produce 25% more pressure (oil being virtually in...

The Australians owe it to the worldwide Faithful to save this piece of Transaxle history!

Don't let us down boys! Only 9 more hours to bid as of this posting!

Only AU$500, what's that, like US$100???
