Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New Alfa

(continued)

All haven't all been sold.  I have access to two reds and a yellow.  

They are extremely expensive and have been slow to move.

The newest Motorweek this morning had a brief segment about the Alfa Romeo 

8C Competizione  - an incredibly beautiful machine!  There were only 100 

sent to USA and all have been sold (~$280k) with a fair amount going to the 

rest of the world - IIRC 250 was total production.  Powered by a 4.8L V8 

pulling a ~2000# car the performance must be as spectacular as the looks.

According to Wiki it's based on a 2003 show car.

The ClyDe suggests "Just buy cut and splice"

Cut and splice? AYIEEeeeeee
May work for a 1980 application and a first time three way cat - -
BUT the newer applications are quite complex and quite sensitive.
Why not cut a late OBD I sensor wire and splice?
Well- it may change the O2 to ECU signal.
Secondly, to operate effectively, the O2 gizmo requires a reference O2
source.

Some cheap O2 sensors just use a hole in the case and Voila - there you 

are.

Others, get this, actually run a hollow tube on the outside of one of the
wires into the passenger cab to insure uncontaminated HC O2.
Cut that - pooooof - yer back to square one.
The four wire O2 for the 512 TR is an intricate part of a moderately
complicated set of engine commands.
Bottom line - Get it from Ferrari and rest assured if you have other
problems it aint that O2.
Doug's axiom - if it is emissions related - get it from the factory.
Sometimes the cheapest way to go is the most expensive - in dollars and
sense. heh heh
I could be wrong -
