opinions

Hello All New member here and I'm looking for a few opinions. I know I'm preaching to the converted, but I'd still value your opinions please. I've owned a red GT 3.2 for 4 years now and it's been trouble free until this year, but this year it's been really trying my patience. It's already...

So i was lookingaround in my local classfields and noticed a black 155 widebody. It was like 400 paunds or something ( dont know what 1150 bulgarian leva converts to ). And it looks in very good shape. Paint is good and looks maintained but its a 1.6. My dad was like better get a 2.0 TS atleast...

Hi, I need to have my wheels refurbed at some point as each of them has some minor kerbing. They are 18" Turbinas, and have been resprayed in the past. I want to get them refurbed and resprayed in black (to match my launch edition front splitter and sideskirts which I need to get fitted)...

Hi all, I haven't stuck this down/fitted this yet but wanted anyone's opinion on how it looks. Car is a Stromboli Grey Giulia Veloce. I'm not convinced the backing tape would be enough to fit so would probably remove and fit with black Tigerseal to ensure a bit of flexibility in positioning...

Hi A couple days ago I cleaned my EGR and MAP sensor, as I had some time on my hands and have heard its a easy enough job to do on your own. Took em apart, cleaned them. MAP sensor was fully clogged, I sorted that out. (see image) Took off EGR, cleaned it. I noticed a couple of things: 1 -...

Hi All, I am in the market for a 156 GTA SW and wanted to see what people thought about a couple of cars about at the moment. I have wanted one for the last 10 years on and off, we want to get one but with the aim of actually keeping it nice and keeping its value...........or it going up in...

Since there are probably many people more experienced than me at engine rebuilding (I normally just drop in a replacement short or complete engine) I thought maybe someone could offer some opinions on this? It's a 3.0 12v Busso which has been standing for many, many years, generally it doesn't...

Hi all, Following some hair raising-moments recently when braking during spirited, but not ridiculous, driving, I'm left wanting for just a little more bite and less fade. I know Ferodo DS2500 are good on V6 as had them mated to Alfaholics calipers on my previous car, but this is quite an...

Hi Everyone! New Alfa owner here, picked up my Giulietta 1.4 TB 170 on Thursday (2012 model) and in true Alfa style I'm having a few niggles on the car. Didn't do much driving over the weekend so from Friday eve to Tuesday it was just sat, then drove about 40miles averaging 40/50mph and as I...

Hi All, Thanks everyone for the advices few weeks ago - I'm finally about to pull the trigger on a Veloce and I'm wonderig whether I should get the Alfa Connect. I know 400 euros is not a huge amount of money, especially compared to other things I did get (including the mandatory 19" wheels...

Hi all A slightly unimportant topic you might say but I'm looking for opinions on airfilters for the 3.0 V6? I have used standard paper and also oiled Pipercross foam and wondering what the "dry" foam filter from Autodelta is like - anyone used one? It's a bit pricey at £54.... Or, do I just...

Hi all, an aspiring Alfisti here (been driving Fiats since 2001) I am considering buying a pre-owned 2014 MiTo QV, but I am hesitant w.r.t. reliability/parts costs with no maintenance or warranty left on it (also not at a known brand dealership). Currently driving an '08 Grande Punto, love the...

Hi All - been away from the 916 section for a while but hoping to be back in a V6 this weekend, HOWEVER.... Car has only done 6k in the last 9 years and been garaged Last documented cambelt was in 2009 at 75k car now at 81k some 9 years on, obviously minimal use, MOT history confirms "Might"...

So, I've always wanted to get a v8 coupe as a daily driver, I don't do many miles; always on the train. So my choices: Ford Mustang 5.0 Maserati GranTurismo 4.2 Jaguar XK 5.0 Driven all, all great cars; Mustang is the newest, Fords are 0% at the moment so great deal, warranty, all mod cons and...

Can anyone let me know what they think of the jtdm over a multiair. I'd rather get a multiair but can't find one, but have seen a nice jtdm close to me. Any advice would be appreciated. Mark

Hi - As well as my lovely Giulietta I also have a Fiat Punto Grande (I know....) which I am using as a contractors train station car. A couple of months ago the injector popped which the garage who sold me the car repaired. There has always been a whiff of diesel smell since but I have only...

Hey guys, looking at policy for covering the QF that I am waiting for (any day now hopefully)... So far my two cheapest options are Aviva direct - £711 (£850 excess, no claims bonus NOT protected, no hire car, no legal cover, no breakdown cover etc) Aviva "Distinct" - high value car insurance...

I am sadly going to have to scrap one of my TS GTV's.. It's a ph1 with a very good black interior... Now I love the look of the momo ph2 seats in my V6 but am not a huge fan of the lack of support from them when driving in a spirited manner. I think my PH1 seats may well be a solution...

Dear Club Members If you have the time and the inclination I am seeking advice on an Alfa GT. I am totally smitten and hope to purchase one soon. In particular I am looking for a 170BHP Cloverleaf. If it has a LSD so much the better. The one I am eyeing at the moment is...
