DIY? download the service manual from alfaclub. Click on the link below.

Read them in details, you will find your car quite fascinating.
Invest in correct tools and safety gears if you intent DIY. We don't want
the car to land on you while working under it.

Have funs.

hello boxer145,
1. bodykits
a. Terry of FA Italia used to stock them. Now that the model is a bit
aged, not too sure if they have them anymore.
b. try www.x-tune.com as well
c. dino of fresh tools would sometimes have nice half-cuts of 145s with
nice accessories on it. Spoilers etc. Check him out as well.
d. Few times I got mine from breakers in SG. Only once in a while, but
very good deal if there`s any.

2. rims
PCD 98. Plenty around.

3. halfcut
Dino of fresh tools (Puchong). Loadsa spares around. There was even this
one set of nice 145 Cloverleaf`s (Japan edition) set of seats with side
SRS airbags for the frontseats. ######ing nice with AR logo embroidered
everywhere. Not sure if he still has it. If only I have the money...

4. how to maintain
a. regular, religious servicing
b. having an Alfa Romeo will naturally train your hearing senses to be
more sensitive. Try to listen and take note of any `funny` noises - the
belt whining, knocking noises in the front lower part of the car,etc.
Dashboard and interior creakings are quite common however.
c. once in a while, lurk underneath you engine tray or look at your
regular parking spots for any oil stains/leaks.

5. engine power
a. chip it
b. use lard instead of regular petrol

6. magazine / website
a. plenty around. some are as per given by those in the earlier postings
above.
b. Autocar (Asean edition) November 2004 issue. There was this one
article on "Why I love my Alfa Romeo 145" by this one weird guy. An
interesting read (albeit a very short one).

Where can you find them 145s?
Its quite rare actually. In fact, I`ve done this one particular trick
many, many times.
If you go out on a date with your girlfriend, place a RM10 bet that she
will not encounter more than 2 145s in a day. Odds for her to win is very,
very slim. That could at least save you a KFC meal.

And if you`re feeling lucky that day, bet her to look for only one 145 on
the road or you`ll get to do anal with her.

Chances are, she`ll have to start lubing her backdoor very soon.

Good luck.

sky baby,

145 and 146 is basically the same car. There is a download section on the
same site for 146, I believe.

CONGRATS ON YOUR 145 BOXER, SERIOUSLY ITS A DAMN NICE CAR FOR THE MONEY.

1. Bodykit for Boxer 145 - where to buy the bodykit (used or new)
especially spoiler, side skirt and bumpers and how much is the price for
those stuff..
PRETTY HARD TO FIND, BUT I'M SURE THEY HAVE THEM AT THE BREAKERS. IF ITS A
FIBER KIT EXPECT ABOUT 1K PLUS, IF ITS ORIGINAL MIGHT COST U BOUT 2500-3000

2. Sportrim for Boxer 145 - where to buy, what is it's PCD, aftermarket
sportrim
98 PCD, SOME PLACES WILL EVEN ORDER U RIMS IN THAT SIZE WITH NO EXTRA
CHARGE. TRY STANFORD TYRES, GLENMARIE.

3. Halfcut Shop - where to get all used part for Boxer 145 around Klang
Valley?
4. How to maintain
REGULAR SERVICING, AND LITTLE KISSES ON THE BONET WHILE YOU WASH HER.

5. How to increase the engine power
EXHAUST, CHIP, THE USUAL NA STUFF.

6. Any magazine or website for modified Boxer 145
HYPERTUNE HAD ONE MODDED 145 BOXER 2 YEARS AGO. SOMETHING LIKE 5 YEARS AGO
THEY FEATURED A MODDED QV IN AUTOCAR OR ASIAN AUTO? CANT REQLLY REMEMBER.
