Hi eddiettr, thanks ... ( 1 year ago by richardb747)

Hi eddiettr, thanks for the clarification. The car is over 10 years old and things have moved on since then. Having said that the cloverleaf version of the engine generates 240bhp - simply by having larger intake pipes. Guess Alfa detuned this one a bit otherwise the cloverleaf version would never have sold.

3.0 V6... You dont ... ( 1 year ago by CGaunt1136)

3.0 V6... You dont need to rev the hell out of it to get the horsepower, like you do on 4 pots. More refined and read its stats for a big car.. I own one and it makes these silly boy racer cars look stupid, trust me. My mate has a civic type R and he was shocked as how such a big car can pull like this. And the NOISE that V6 makes. Puts a smile on your face everytime. Cars with souls, Alfa's. Not boring at all like most euro cars. Remember Alfa made the first Varible timing engine :-p

Thanks Mate.
Find the 164 drives like a big GTi. 205 tyres are skinny by todays standards but you can use them to the full. Love it to bits and it has never let me down.

Just WTF is your problem, Antifacio? This is your politest comment on my Alfa videos - you other was even more insulting and had to be deleted.
Are you simply a moron or just stupidly antagonistic? And thanks for the 2-star rating you gave each video - are you a merchant banker, by any chance?

there are two 3.0 versions, one with 210 and with 230 bph. The only difference is the intake runners are bigger in one. A simple switch and viola! 230 bhp. One must also look at the gearing and torque on the 210 model. It pulls like a train.

Nevermind about the idiots. This moron never drove a true car and doesn't know anything about them. Imagine how miserable must he be that he spends his time insulting omn the internet...
Great car! Congratulations! Go Alfa Romeo! :)

Yes it does but the torque/power curves are far more peaky than the 12v so at very low rpm the 12v 3 litre 164 is actually a tiny bit faster - and then is blasted into the weeds as the revs rise :-)

Well iv recently ... ( 7 months ago by CaptiveRiticuli)

Well iv recently brought a 164 cloverleaf in red its got uprated front breaks uprated pads all round and about a grands worth of polly bushes all round. Its also got sum engine mods, iv been after one for ages but they are so rare mines a manual aswel. I have a slight electrical problem with it and the gearbox needs rebuilding apart from that it does feel very specail iv had faster cars tho but iv just been driving about like a lazy ass in it.

Series 1 or 2? Either way, great choice. It took me 6 months to find mine so you must have searched like hell to get a Cloverleaf. Good luck with sorting the gearbox and don't loose your licence :-)

hi, I'm about to buy a 164 3.0 24v manual.
Are they reliable? clutch electrical stuff etc seem to the weakest part. What do you think? please give some tips:)

You can buy a 2.4 ... ( 3 months ago by richardb747)

You can buy a 2.4 diesel or 2 litre twin spark alfa for little money and a v6 often for less but think of this - for the same mileage the v6 would have worked far less hard. It is such a powerful engine it is impossible to thrash it non-stop, without losing your licence; yet a smaller engined version can be thrashed to pieces, literally.

The biggest problem ... ( 3 months ago by richardb747)

The biggest problem is the lax servicing of previous owners due to immediate cost. When new these were £28000 cars so being given a service bill of £400 is not unexpected, although unwelcome when thanks to depreciation you have obtained the same car for £1000. The 24v 164s are fabulous! Far better than the series ones, I drove mine through a wind farm at over 140mph, kids sleeping in the back, and was so impressed by the car's ability that I got my wife to film the speedo.

Things to look for ... ( 4 weeks ago by CaptiveRiticuli)

Things to look for on the 164 cloverleaf, faulty Abs sensors, annoying electrical niggles like bad earth on indicators, rear boot light and check the battery has a good earth strap too the body. Also 3rd gear synchromesh is prone to wearing out. Also inner wheel arches can collapse and rub on tyres when on full lock, these are now obselete.
Exhaust systems are pretty good, interior tends to wear well, they have amazing handling. These are great cars if looked after now very rare indeed.

Iv had my 94 cloveleaf 7 months now and have had to spend a small fortune on it too get it up too a good standard. i had a small race with an 08 plate Golf R32 and i was right up his ass going through the corners i think he was a little shocked. Previous owner had 160 out of it as its had a few engine mods but i cant seem to do more than 130 at the moment. it needs a good tune up plus the gearbox needs rebuilding. Im going to make a few vids of mine at sum point and post them up here.

Can't get more than 130? That is seriously slow. How is it running?

"I have a Alfa Romeo 164 S in white should i make a video of a burnout or something? "
GattiF50, you could. I've only done it once, to demonstrate a point to a friend, and couldn't see anything behind because of the tyre smoke. Was fun but not exactly tyre/clutch friendly :-)

"135 is about all ... ( 2 weeks ago by richardb747)

"135 is about all mine will do at the moment, it needs a tune up plus its miss firing i think a core pack might need changing.
A friend has suggested that the standard airbox is restrictive but altho mine is the standard one its got a cold air feed and a Kn filter.
Bit annoying really, any suggestions? "
How does it run at idle? Better when cold?
