Me and my brother we are picking up a nice 166 that needs to be painted tomorrow. So the ouside looks bad. However it has a lot good going for it. It was a 2.5 liter and now is a 3 liter with a remap on the ECU and the 2.5 gearbox so shorter gears. Combined with a new Q2 diff and a new timingbelt and waterpump, and a GTA flywheel for beter response, and stainless midpipe gaggazon ew, and a remus endpipe with 2x 85mm pipes for a deep sound. New clutch as well and lots of other new parts. It is a project car we buy from someone that has no time anymore but invested great in it. We pay 2600 pounds aprox 2800€ and we get also nice 17 inch aloy wheels extra included. So very happy with that deal sofar. Now hoping it will be no moneypit. But 166 are decent so far i know them.

Good job, but is it really a “Shell swap” ? Presumably you are really just scrapping the track car (which is the actual “donor”) and putting its uprated mechanicals into a better road car which will stay registered ?

I need a new exhaust for my -04 2.5 SW but I imagine shipping to Sweden will be more expensive than buying a new one locally.
@Seolfor007Ай бұрын
Have a look at having a stainless one. Here in the IK there are a fair few custom builders used to working with Alfas and prices are very good. I wouldn't think shipping would be that much.

Makes no sense as this is a track/fast road car not cleaning, removing and treating everything not needed to aid weight, making out it spins like a 500bhp civic is dumb af, doubt it even spins in 2nd 😂
