For sale: Like NEW OZ Avior 5x98 ET 39. Did not fit over the brakes on our GTV 3.0. Completly refurbished during this winter for hundreds of Euros... Fitted with brand spanking new Michelin Pilot Sport 5. Located in Norway, but will ship internationally. Price: 2000 EUR plus shipping. -Magnus

So... Q2 diff and coilover suspension (KW V1) are mounted. Made a huge improvement. Our beloved OZ Avior did not fit over the front brakes. Too bad we did not try them on before spending thousands of NOK on revovation... Found a set OZ Ultraleggera in 8x18" with ET 35. They should be a OK replacement. Short shift kit are installed and every bulb in the front are upgraded to street legal OSRAM LED bulbs. This is a seriously mind blowing upgrade compared to the stock bulbs. Also a lot easier than installing xenon. Decat stainless section are installed for a crisp sound.

Hi and welcome! Nice one, pity for the scratch on the left sideskirt. This forum does not support advanced HEIC photos, but download works fine. What's the problem with your Novitec Coilovers? Best, Davor

Hey everyone, I've got my self a 98 Gtv 3.0 and want to have a little fun with it. Namely lower it a little without ruining the ride quality, and squeeze a little more power out of the Busso. I spent a fair bit of effort and money just to get her going at 260 000kms and am fighting to keep her alive. So far I've done all the usual service items, and fitted god awful novitec coilovers as well as a GTA flywheel/clutch. AD1134D7-FBA9-4175-BF55-6680E041589F.heic

It's more important who drove it, not how much it was driven Welcome Arjen. Post some photos of interior, will be intresting to see condition with this millage

Welcome Arjen! Impressive mileage, but not surprising for a Busso! Are you happy with Intrax RS shocks and springs? Where did you get them? Price?

Hi all, My name is Arjen from the Netherlands. Had a lot of nice italian cars, Alfa and Abarth, in the past. Daily driver now is a 2018 Stelvio with a stage 1 remap. Recently purchased a fun car, a 1999 GTV V6. Car already has a few mods: Q2 diff Intrax RS shocks and springs Ragazzon mid pipe and CSC endpipe BMC CDA air intake 147 GTA wheels GTA cam shaft Single mass flywheel Complete respray in 2008 It's black with red interior. Car was clearly owned by enthusiasts. Despite the high mileage of 292k km I didn't hesitate buying it. That's it for now. Have a nice weekend! Arjen

Welcome James, we would love to see before and after pictures of the restoration. The color combination for a spider is one of the best (in my opinion). Good luck!

The new electronics have removed a bunch of unnecessary wires and now everything is much neater and more reliable.

Another small upgrade today! I replaced the upper engine mount 18 years ago. Now the lower part is cracked, so I decided to go with the Powerflex solution, which has a lifetime warranty. The factory does not use this because it transmits more noise into the cabin, and in my case that is not a problem (haha). Also, I got advice that the metal mount rod can break because this is much stiffer solution, so in that spirit I left the upper bush original, made of rubber, because it was completely healthy, so that I still retain some of the factory elasticity of the connection - all in the hope that the mount rod itself will not crack.

Old coolant expansion tank got a small fracture. I wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't been in the silence of the garage and heard a slight hissing sound. That was a good reason to replace the tank with a completely new one, now everything is on another level aesthetically!

STILL AVAILABLE

Good luck with your dream car John!

It'll be a great drive, also this color combo is very stylish! Looking forward to see the upgrade process! Good luck!

After a short visit to GTV TS this spring/summer, it was quickly established that it was the V6 we wanted. Old saved online ads were brought up, but those who responded did not want to sell for various reasons. We still got an estimated purchase value and could therefore begin the hunt for a car we wanted. Came across a great GTV with a tidy history in Sweden. Made good contact with the seller and inspected the car in Moss in the late summer. After some back and forth, we agreed on a price and signed the contract. The car is a 2002 GTV 3.0 24V The color is called Blu Vela and is paired with a lovely beige interior. Something completely different from the mischievous silver gray with red interior. Now that I have it at home, I like it better and better. A very sober and snobbish combination. The car has covered approximately 108,000 km and has been properly looked after. Completely original with the exception of the aftermarket exhaust and rims, which will be replaced. Runs very well and it's nice to drive with it. Further plans are: Respray of the hood and general deep cleaning/correction of the paint on the rest of the car. Renovate OZ Avior rims and fit them on Wizard exhaust Coilover chassis Q2 diff Beyond this, only normal maintenance is expected. Oil change now before winter storage.

This is sold. But I bought a 3.0 instead...

Welcome! It sounds like you have a very interesting specimen. I hope you restore it to its original condition as soon as possible and enjoy it. When you get a chance, send us some photos so we can see that 427B color!

Bonjour, Je suis de France, au Mans, je suis propriétaire d'une Alfa 916 spider 2.0l TS de 2002, et immatriculée en 2004. Ce spider a commencé sa vie en Italie, près du Lac Majeure, à Vergiate, puis après qques années, il est parti vivre en Allemagne, au service d'une femme qui l a utilisé pendant 8 ans environ avant d'arriver en France en 2023. Il a été acheté par 1 personne qui en a pas pris bien soin, et 8 mois après, il l'a remis en vente, et il est à moi depuis. Cette voiture a vécu, elle ne présentait pas très bien, beaucoup de choses à revoir, que je refais petit à petit. C'est une série spéciale "elegante lux" de 2002, sortie à qques centaines d'exemplaires, avec peinture bleu lightening 427B spécifique, cuir caramel specifique et jante cup. Elle a la clim et la capote électrique et totalise actuellement 99500 kms. J'ai fait environ 8000 kms en moins de 2 ans. A bientôt.

Hi everyone, My name is John and I currently live in Athens, Greece. I've been a huge admirer of the 916 series since it first came out some 30 years ago. Family and professional circumstances have prevented me from buying one in the past (though, on countless occasions, I have come very close to pulling the trigger on a whim). Fortunately these circumstances have now changed which means that I'm about to treat myself to one for my coming birthday in December! I really look forward to your advice and suggestions as this site has proven to be a treasure trove of info for all current and prospective owners (as a long time lurker, I would know). I look forward to chatting with you all! Best regards John
