Yes the TR3 is quite cool. I own it since more than years now. It has a modified engine, upgraded suspension and steering. Very fast very loud. Big fun.

definitly the TR3. It weighs around 800kg and I guess it is around 115hp out of a 2,1l engine. The suspension is very firm and the steering is ultra direct. Due to the comparably wide track and the modern Pirelli tyres the grip level is surprisingly high. Driving the Giulia for a week and then switching to the TR is quite a difference
Driving the TR for 3 hours is quite hard work. The stereo in the car doesn't make a real sense. It's loud and hard and windy. But I also love driving the Giulia. That's more like relaxed cruising around with good music and feeling good. Very modern car for it's time. The ride is a bit soft for my taste, but I'm just about installing the alphaholics suspension kit
Very nice collection - welcome to the BB. More pictures please!
I'll be interested to see how you feel after you install the AH suspension. It will be begging you for more power!
A lot of folks love the 1300 motor but it's an easy and relatively cheap upgrade to drop a 2L. Will transform the performance of the car without losing its charm.
All the parts for the suspension are reworked or newly purchased. I had most of the old components shot blast and powder coated. Most of the bolts are the orignial ones from the car, shot blast and zinc plated. Everything is laid out and waiting for installation.
I like the pic with the TR3 in the back :thumbup1:
Installation day tomorrow. :thumbup:
That really is the way I like it. Everything clean and prepared. This is going to be a lot of fun. And there is enough beer in the fridge good music, ...
I welcome you to the Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board. I have been driving Alfas since 1968 and restored my 1961 Sprint Veloce in the end of 2014. I just went to an Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Southern California that had a meeting at Santa Monica Alfa and Maserati dealership. I test drove a Stelvio QV and it was great. Have fun with your Alfa!
