Wave Hello!

Hi guys,

Thanks for having me!
I own a Alfa Romeo 146 Twinspark year 2000. Nearly sold the bugger last month but I just couldn't be away from it so I took it back from the dealer! My fiancee nearly left me when I decided to sell the car, so my best bet is to keep the itallian ruffian.

I have vowed to not sell it anymore and I have have stood my ground to give it the very best of rims and parts life has to offer.

So anyway...I could really use some good advise on rims and other accesories for this car. Fisrt I decided to send it to Alfasportivo for a thorough check up. They qouted $350.

Any opinions?

Re: Hello!

Thanks guys! All of you have some really nice rides yourselves....well I've taken up my car as a project for the next month, so let's see the outcome of it! Gonna give it a new paint job...same as the original colour...can anyone suggest an nice shade of silver for my italian? The current silver is quite dull! Doesn't stand out much!
New rims, a new interior and a complete engine buffing!

Got two issues however on the drive...1 is the diesel sound. I know that's because of the variator and the other is vibrating steering after hitting 100km/h.

Question is how do I maintain from these issues happnening again?
What should I check for on my alfa on a weekly basis?
I've got 170.000 on mileage.Yup use my baby on a regular basis.
Advise professors?
