Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This cute little Italian sports car is perfect for those with a passion for driving. Those leaf strewn backroads of Fall will beckon you around every turn. I bought this car in June 2004 with 70,000 miles on it. Now 9 years later and only 3,000 more miles it is time to part. Twisting the key brings the Spider's all-aluminium twin-cam two-litre highly-spirited inline four to life. (Temple of VTEC worshippers may not wish to note that the Alfa Romeo Spider was the first production car to use variable valve timing back in 1980, beating Honda's V-Tec system by almost ten years.) The Alfa's Twin-Cam engine, produces 115 horsepower a bit past 5,000 rpm, and 120 lbs. ft. of torque just before 3,000 rpm. Unlike the Gregorian crescendo of most modern engines, the Alfa's four roars like a wounded beast, with just enough thrash to let you know its mechanical heart is beating with the explosive deaths of millions of hydrocarbons."

I have had many performance upgrades installed by European Auto Specialsits in Cincinnati (repairs & performance upgrades alone over $8500) including:

Performance headers and performance muffler (entire exhaust system from headers to tailpipe replaced including new catalytic converter). Performance Bilstein shocks and performance springs, larger performance rear sway bar. Cross-drilled rotors. All bushings replaced with polyurethane bushings.

Exhaustive maintenance & repairs:

Plugs & wires, cap & rotor, air filter, fuel filter, passenger window motor, wiper motor, heater motor, changed all fluids (coolant, clutch, brake, engine, transmission) including rear end limited slip additive, headlight switch. New driveshaft components: both U joints, center support, center bearing, flex disc. Alignment performed. Emergency brake cable replaced, all cooling hoses replaced. Door stops replaced. New ignition switch, replaced radio and replaced all 4 speakers and added 250W Alpine amp. 3-spoke wood steering wheel.

Total suspension rebuild:

Center mount bushing kit, shock bushing kit, shock bushing kit, trunion arm bushing kit, rear anti roll bar kit, training arm kit, diff trunion kit, spring set, performance swaybar, poly cater bushing, control arms, bushing inn lower arms, lower ball joints, tie rod ends, front & rear brake hoses, shocks.

Summary:

As the pictures note this car is in excellent mechanical condition after extensive maintenance and performance upgrades. Although not perfect, I have done the heavy lifting and you are well on your way toward an Italian weekend drop top backroad cruiser. Body work due to rust (see pictures) is required. Lastly, the heater motor which was replaced has since failed and needs to be replaced and the speedometer stopped functioning sometime this year but I only drove it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.

Alfa Romeo 8C, Maserati Quattroporte and Granturismo models recalled over rust fears

Mon, 20 May 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced Maserati and Alfa Romeo are recalling certain Quattroporte, Granturismo and 8C models over potentially faulty tie rod ends. According to NHTSA, 2005-2008 Quattroporte, 2008 Granturismo and 2008 8C units may have been assembled with tie rod ends that have insufficient corrosion protection. As such, the components may rust, weaken and potentially fail. If that happens, the driver could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
Maserati and Alfa Romeo will contact owners and replace the tie rod end assemblies once the recall gets underway in June. All told, 7,438 vehicles are impacted by the recall. You can read the full NHTSA notice below for more information.

Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.
