Alfa 147 - A Decade...

[Musigny]

Ya the sprint booster!! Do you have to spend alot for the BMC CDA filter? my mechanic told me that they can bypass the ECU, sort "piggy back" and that gives extra 50bhp.

any claim for extra bhp on a NA car shld always be backed by dyno test... i alwasy find mechanices or 'tuners' like to pluck figures from the sky to sell you anything. Always be skeptical.

 

and.. 50 is a lot.

i got my BMC CDA used from another fellow 147 driver.. for $150.

for the piggy back chip tuning , dun think can get 50 extra bhp....that's a bit much..

 

[Musigny]

i agree, a bit skeptical...unless gone thru a dyno!

Make my contribution here on the 147 though I've never driven one

 

This was taken in Zurich last June

That's a 147 GTA!

Saw a red and black 147 at Dempsey on Sat... What a sight. Including a red 159. Not forgeting Musigny's silver 147, my 147 and my friend's 156 GTA...that is a total of 6 Alfas in Dempsey! Haha..

hi bro, the cheapest you can go as an end user is by direct purchase from a stockist. I assume those listed are stockists? Unless you have inside contacts working in the stockists or you are prepared to buy from a scrapyard.

[Chrispie]

i think many go to Tanly motors for parts.

[Suirattigas]

Thanks mates..

[Le_Stig]

Yes, Tanly and Leeco are both Stockist.

 

You may want to try Propel Auto (@ 28 Kranji Road).... They do alot of scrap Alfas and you may get the parts you want there. No harm trying.

There's a bluish silver or silverish blue 147 GTA (at least there's a GTA badge) I see parked in front of a house just opposite Burghley Squash Centre in S'goon Gdns. The bella recently had a respray of the same color.

 

Is the owner here? Or anybody here knows the owner?

 

Hi TG - there is a silver blue 147 here at work car park in Toa Payoh - now there is three or is it four AR in this carpark (nice) - could it be that one? You got a rego?

[Suirattigas]

Thanks all.. got the parts..

bonnet 800

right light 260

emblem 80

Bumper out of stock.. luckily for me, my bumper is only slightly scratched..

 

Now I am toying the idea of spraying my italian mistress white

(currently she is black)
