I just purchased my first Giulietta and had a few questions as I am new to the whole scene. Firstly, as it's a distinctive model, it comes with a single sided exhaust and I was wondering if there was any way to convert it to a dual split exhaust similar to the Giulietta QV. Secondly, I was...

Hi all, i have a 1.8ts which is currently running a standard jts inlet cam which has a 10.6mm lift. It works really well, but I am looking at upgrades. Does anybody know the duration or any of the other technical details of my existing cam? The only numbers I can find are 235 and a 4A Thanks

Hi all. Okay, so to give a little insight info on where this all began. A little more than a year ago I made an impulsive decision to get a 2013 1.4 MultiAir (125kw) without hesitation or thoroughly going through the car's history. She had 58 000 km on the clock with a partial service history...

Has anyone made any kind of changes to the exhaust system on their Stelvio 280T? I can see the likes of Remus (Remus Exhaust system for Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 ? The Performance Company) are offering cat back systems. Just wondering what they sound like compared to the standard system if anyone...

Hello everyone. Here's a rundown of the modifications I have made to my beautiful Giulietta QV over the 8months or so of ownership. I will update with pictures and new mods as I do them. Hope this can help any of you who are looking to do the same. ENGINE/TUNING MODS -custom air induction...

Hello guys, I was thinking to do some changes to my 156, it's beautiful but I think with 16 inch wheels and a truck height doesn't really show its potential. Here below what I'm aiming to do: - Change wheels from standard 16inch to 17 inch JR 3 white alloy or white Bola B1. - lower the car of...

Before calling Hastings and having them potentially decide I am modifying my car just for asking a question, I thought I'd ask elsewhere for advice. I have a 156 Lusso 2001 so pre anything-lift. I bought a 156 JTD with the updated interior, VDC and side curtain airbags (you can probably see...

Hi, now I have got most of the major essential jobs out of the way I've started doing a few little modifications to make my 159 a little more individual... I thought I'd start a thread and just add to it as things get done. Today's job was to smarten up the centre consul area. It was the...

So I've finally got my engine problems all fixed and I am ready to begin doing some customization to my vehicle. I just purchased the Elearn for the GT last week and it should arrive sometime I believe this week.(Hopefully I didn't get ripped off and this is the full version this time with the...

I got rid of my 12v and acquired a 24v Super 164 from 1993. So far I have been going over the entire suspension, replacing bushes, troubleshooting the "electrical suspension control" (the ride is a tad harsh, so something is not working properly..) Also replaced the disks with slotted ones in...

Hi I am going to track My Alfa GT 1.9JTD at Spa in October. The only modification it has is a remap. The cars it will be sharing the track with are at best Megane RS, 320ds. So I want to be able to keep up! I have around £300 to spend. What should I spend it on. Thanks

Hi all, I have a Giulietta remapped to the safe limit for the clutch and turbo and am looking to move on to stage 2. I am wondering where to look for turbo and clutch upgrades for this car and to hear your opinions on whether it is worth it. I love my Alfa and think it can handle a little more...

Greetigs Alfa males, I enjoy driving my V6, very powerful in the first 3 gears. I would like to know if there is any modifications available that would make it even go faster? I nearly had my ECU remapped, but didn't proceed because my mechanic told me it is "bull". He also said that putting a...

Hello All Has anyone replaced original Power steering pipes with aeroequip or similar and made any other mods to steering pipes and connections ? I know that there were some power steering failures with some 156's in the Alfa Championship but am unfamiliar with the source for the supply of the...

So - our 1998 2.0 GTV blew it's second engine and this time it is goodnight. Since semi retirement - I am 62 - we visit the children/grandchildren much more so we thought we'd go for economy so decided on a diesel 147. Saw a very nice one that was in for a service at our local indie and was...

This lovely Cupalike Zoe Yellow 3.0 GTV came in for a timing belt service and full suspension rebuild and just about anything else it needed. Just thought I would share it with you guys as it was a comprehensive build with some interesting pics! Enjoy........................... Loz :thumbs:

Hey guys :) Ive had my mito for a year nearly. Is now out of warranty and im basically trying my hand at sprucing her up. Ive uprated the bulbs to HID 6000k low beams, LED DRL's and a Wire mesh grill. Im now lowering on some JOM coilovers about 30-50mm- under £200 for the set of 4... Getting...

Hi guys, I'm taking a bold step and taking my car back to standard-ish. My friends 156 was written off so I have access to all of the parts so I'm just wondering how much I can expect to make from the following: Engine - ITG Maxogen Carbon Fibre Airbox & foam filter, GSR induction pipe, Front...
