My Dad had a white Guilia Super 1600 way way back in the 70s when I was a teenager. Watching you drive yours and give it some beans, reminds me quite vividly of siting in the front passenger seat of my Dads, uphill in 3rd and it was like being strapped to a rocket! Lovely cars, enjoy yours and make sure you smile when you drive!
Meanwhile I was restoring my truck and came across this clipVDO. You did a great job of telling the story. I like it.... Cool
Outstanding build on one the greatest cars. Bought my first one, white, new in 1968. Installed 10:1 pistons and it went rather well on the winding roads in southern British Columbia. Sadly, in nine years it rusted so badly it went to the wreckers. Then, in 2005, I bought a 67 in V. good nick and installed a "warm" 2 L. Dave Rugh springs front, standard rear and Koni "reds", with the rear sway bar removed. A lot of fun on "B" roads.
thats amazing! such a fun car
Love the excitement you guys all have about this car. I purchased my 69 GTV in 2015 then moved to Europe 2 years later, I miss the car so much. Looking forward to getting back to Cali to drive it soon, even more after watching your video!
Mike Besic is one of the best Alfa Romeo engine builders out there! Sure you spent a whole lot of money but it’s money well spent with someone that knows what they are doing on these wonderful engines! Enjoy it and have fun 👍🏽
worth every penny
Bravo Ragazzo! Well done!
nice to see young people building and driving cars like this.
These are among the best cars ever built.
in the 60's it was one of the fastest 4 cylinder family sedans in the world.
Beautiful little Alfa!
Excellent taste my friend !!! The coolant pipe underneath the carbs looks amazing! and the battery decal looks fantastic! I can't wait to finally get mine, which is a 1600 1972 from Napoli. Still at Salerno's port today.
Appreciate it! Congrats on your 1600!
Congrats, Nikko! The Alfa looks and sounds amazing! Hope to see it around soon!
Thanks marek! Will see ya soon for sure
Awesome piece of Classic touring car racer THE GIULIA!!😊😊 Thanks for sharing 😊😊well done Alfista😊😊😊❤❤❤
Looks and sounds awesome Nikko! Thanks for bringing in it last Sunday. Motorgearo!
Thanks! Will def look into it!
Great drive with your dad 😊
Nikko, congrats on the build. It looks awesome, and sounds even better. Smart to enlist the help of Mike, he is a local Alfa legend around Chicago. If you are down to wiper arms, I think the build is pretty close. Looking forward to the track days. Cheers.
Appreciate it Rich. Yeah highly recommend Mike Besic for anyone in the Midwest. Oh no, theres still a lot I have planned for this hahah. Cheers
Wonderful Alfa and amazing build. It sounds good as the beauty view of the engine bay. Congrats.
thanks mate! more videos of the car moving soon
Your car is absolutely amazing - good taste 👍😎
Great update the car looks and sounds fantastic.
Thanks Richard! Appreciate it
Congratulations!
I watched all of yoour Giulia videos, great job!
She looks very pretty and it seems like she is a lot of fun too.
Take care of her, then she will bring a lot of joy!
Thank you! Really appreciate it dirk! Will take care of her for sure
Makes me long for my old '71 1300 ti that I put a '73 2000 (pre oil crisis, 112kw, the later ones were down tuned to I think about 103, something like that) engine into. Man that car was quick, ran away from late 90s Golf GTIs, Sierra XR6, BMW 735. BUT, only up to about 160km/h (100mph) when the engine reached red line in 5th. I never did change the diff for longer legs...it was too much fun.
Fantastic. Coolant rerouting is great. Now, track that thing!
That’s the plan!
good guy, good project, have fun 😎
Man pare!! I just had to watch this again!!
“Be careful!” Haha!
Sounds soooo good!!!
Thanks!
Awesome content! Love the fiat!
😂
Super one of my all time fav autos and this one is just gorgeous. Twin sparks are way bitchin' man yeah! Please please in future no soundtrack have really gotten to dislike music added to cool auto/airplane/ sports videos, ack. Narration and ambient sounds and engine tire etc sounds all you need. Nice video.
The Italian sound 🎉
What a nice project, the car just looks superb, just proper everywhere into the smallest details 👍
There is a crazy Dutch guy with a Giulia 5 cylinder 2.4 JTD engine, nowhere near as clean as yours but it's a daily and he never intended to restore the body.
thank you! oh wow i gotta look that 5cyl giulia up.
Yay! I’m happy for you!!!
thanks jay!
Mike Built my dads GTV motor and it’s amazing. Also did different gears and that tightened it up!
That’s awesome! Mikes the man
RE WIPERS
Hi Nikko, you might need to test the wipers w water before relying on them in a down pour on a freeway. ALFA 105 'clapping hand' style wipers can touch and jam when car is at speed. I've had to do this on my 1750 S1. Fine adjustment is via the mechanism under the scuttle panel. Remove wipers then the panel, re-install wipers, undo locking bolts and find a happy medium, use a marker on the arms and on the spindles. Remove arms install panel and arms. Bit long winded but hope it works for you. V good production on vid and great project.
thanks for the tip!
You are so lucky! That is an incredibly amazing car! 🍀 ❤
Thank you!
Congratulations man for a really cool build. Just to be curious are you planing to run the car on a dyno in the near future, would be interesting to know how much power.
Appreciate it Carl! Will do a dyno video sometime soon
Bella macchina.complimenti, lavoro ben fatto 🎉
thank you!
Beautiful car sounds Awsome
Thank you!!
Looks great! I saw you’re trying to fit 15x7 gta wheels. Too much rubbing? I’d really like to do the same but the fitment seems problematic.
I have to say the steelies look pretty nice on the car the way you have it setup tho!
there was rubbing yeah. Had to use a mallet on the side of the rear. and also cut a little of the fender lip
Congrats!
thanks!
wow the sound is awesome great job my Alfa friend, I'm happy every time I see that Alfa is popular all over the world. I have a nuova super 1.6 from 1975 in rosso alfa and I've been restoring it for 4 years. they were used as donor vehicles and they were not treated well. But now she is with me and everything will be fine. You are welcome to see what she used to look like on my channel. Greetings from Germany.. Salvatore
thats awesome! would love to see photos of the nuova super
AWESOME Mate! I have one exactly the same (colour /year) that I am doing which is kind of stalled, so this has given me a bit of impetus. Is your engine from a 155 rather than a 75 ?
yes 155 head! excited for your build! would love to see it
Magnifica bellissima
“You feel it?”
That’s what it’s about…
👍👍 yes sound perfect!!!!!!👍👍
more alfa content early next year!
Car look and sounds absolutely amazing! I wanted to ask if this is a 2000 nord with a 155 ts head and Alfaholics Stage 1 190 hp kit?
Yep it’s a bird block with a 155 head and lots of alfaholics parts. When I can, I’ll do a build breakdown on the car and post it!
@@NikkoSalgado Cant wait to see it. I have a 1300 Giulia as well so its great to watch these videos!
Awesome car. Apart from the mechanical wonders done to your car were you able to install a proper AC in the car? If so how?
yeah was looking into vintage air but cant seem to find a simple way to do it. would have to put the condenser in front of the radiator but probably cut GTA style holes for air.
@@NikkoSalgado great. Once you figure the AC out would be great if you could document it and show it to the rest of us. Keep it up!
Che tempi col gelo si metteva lantigelo mi ricordo svitol olio sui manicotti dei radiatori i bocettoni che si incrinavano certo che mi ricordo
Time to work on my Giulia…😊
working on cars is fun haha
Hi Nikko greetings from Malaysia, Firstly, that's seriously a gorgeous Bella your are having right there.. and I'm going to check out soon-to-be my ride tomorrow morning, can't wait, had a good bargain on a Super 1.3 1975, please tip me with what's uve had done with your Bella, any links on what's been done and all? TQ Nikko..
thank you for the kind words! DM me on instagram and we can chat. would love to see pics of the new car! @nikkosalgado on IG
track day?!?!
100%!
No socks for the intakes?
I have a few trumpet setups. I'll show the screens I got for the intake soon
Hi, is this the 190hp package?
dynod at 185hp!
Now that's a real car. Just don't go crazy on it and make it into a some sort of cheap looking street racer. Less is more with these alfas.
Thanks. I’ll be making a few race inspired upgrades. Nothing crazy. Similar to the alfaholics builds but no modern seats, steering wheel, etc. trying to keep everything period correct looking
TwinSpark? On a Giulia??? 🤔 Never produced
nope. did the swap last year
I love that. In Right hand drive, that is my 2nd dream Alfa. 💚🤍❤
Absolutely beautiful… I had one great cars, sorry that I sold it 🥲
theres always time for another :)
