Glenwood Motors 3.45 Litre 24v Alfa Romeo 164 LS (Super)

Description

It's GOOD to have this baby back on the road again! (I also converted this car from automatic to manual - and with it - retrofitted a 6-speed manual transmission from a 156 GTA into it! What an AMAZING and effortless car to drive - it feels 500 kilos lighter!!!) I still have to eliminate the restrictive flapper-crapper (AFM) air-flow meter, or convert it to a MAS-type hot-wire pass-through tube, open up the exhaust from the down-pipes on back and then sort a few other minor things out! For now I am running a UniChip piggy-back computer - also from South Africa - capitalizing on - and then optimizing - the standard cold-start, idle, part-throttle cruising, tip-in and wide-open throttle maps! The engine was built by Dawie de Villiers of Glenwood Motors-fame down there and features a 100mm bore on a standard 72.4mm-stroke 3.0 crank. We run forged aluminium-alloy pistons & custom sleeves with a 10.5:1 compression-ratio, forged steel chrome molly connecting rods, ported intake and exhaust heads, Stage II cams, 44mm GTA/Q intake runners, GTA injectors, a Remus rear exhaust-section and a grippy 4-puck clutch. The car also runs fully-adjustable yellow Konis, B&G springs and Eibach anti-roll bars. I have it rolling on 17" Rota wheels with 235/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber that won't last long (the car breaks traction in 3rd gear at 70-80 mph!) Brakes are next!
