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!

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

Hi Friends New member, just joined today. Looks like an awesome community. Based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Owned the 2003 2L JTS Spider for approx. 5 years. Been tucked away in a garage for the last few years. We gave her a clean & polish yesterday. All excited again! Made the decision to put back on the road and enjoy our pending warmish weather:) Some questions. Looking at EB Spares GTA 17 inch wheels. Worth the effort? They look great. We had a GTA a few years back. Suspension upgrades? Koni service the front on V6 but not the 2L, any alternatives? One of our issues with the Spider is a power steering hose leak. Quite complex on RH drive 916's. Anybody by-passed the pipes and ran rubber hoses only. Last one! Alfaholics Stainless Steel exhaust system. Anybody purchased? Makes the right noises and no drumming? Appreciate any assistance. The 916 series are aging so well. Ours is a keeper:) All the best Pete http://www.squadra916.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4382-New-Member Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, I’ll introduce myself.. I am Ton and from the Netherlands. After a friend asked me to make a photo series of his GTV I was hooked to the looks and how a 916 handles.. I wanted one! So I wanted a little project car. So after a couple of weeks I found a 2001 black TS GTV with rear fender accident damage.. car had only 134k on the clock and had 2 previous owners.. with only little rust on the usual places. The rear bottom plate. But the car was in driveable condition so I picked it up with my sun who drives a nice 155 and already infected me with the Alfavirus.. so at home I stripped the cars interior (tan leather) out and started to fix the rust damage.. a friend of me works at a body shop fixed and painted the rear fender.. So I had fresh paint on the rear quarter panel, bonnet and rear and front bumpers.. car looks very fresh now.. I am on vacation now but I will update with some photos once I get home again.. anyway thanks for having me on this forum! Ton

Hi all, glad I found this site. Hopefully I can acquire proper info for maintaining my Alfa Spider. It’s a 1997 “Lusso trim”, Verde Acido. Imported to the USA from the Netherlands. So far so good. Drives extremely well, quite comfortable. Thanks for having me. cheers, Dion

Welcome Martijn! Enjoy your Spider!

Hi everybody, I’m a new owner (bought it last week) of a beautiful 1995 bright red 916 Spider 2.0 TS. I’m Dutch but have been living in central Italy since 2015. I’ll be going on my first road trip with the car tomorrow to the central Italian Appenine mountains. I hope this forum helps to keep my and all other 916s in a good state and on the road, as our roads need more beauty next to all the boring and ugly SUV boxes on them today. Cheers, Martijn

Welcome! Very nice Mk3 Spider!

Hi there, I've been a reader for a while but finally decided to make an account and introduce myself, and the car. I bought this beauty about a year ago, after owning several Alfa GTs over the past few years. I'm Dutch, and the car is currently in France with my parents, so the whole family can enjoy it when we're there.
