he said he regret the swap already But I can see why he wanted to sell it thought. A full tank costs me about 100E and with a 3.0 v6 you can imagine it doesn't run that many kilometers on a tank either.

But i´m sure the fun you have driving this thing makes you forget the money you have to spend on the fuel

Well I don't think I've spent a single moment behind the wheel without smiling. My brother once said that you don't just take it for a drive, you take it out for an adventure and I can see why he said that. Everytime I take it for a spin I get surpised. The power of the engine, the sound it produces and the whole feel of the car is just amazing. Sure it has it's typical Alfa problems like malfunction lights. Sometimes the indicators don't work, the solution for that is putting on your hazard lights for a moment and everything works again

you were done about 6 posts ago but you looked like you were having fun.
EDIT: infact, i'll stick you on my ignore list for a few weeks. i'd recommend you do the same with me. that way we won't cross paths and subject the rest of the forum to our super porductive name calling.

hahahaahahah get a life mate seriously

thanks for putting me straight on your project buddy. oh wait, you still haven't.
do you have a blog you'd like to share? or do you just hit the defensive everytime someone is unaware of your work?
maybe you could use one of those wrenches to pull your head out of your arse. maybe then you'd make the effort in posting more than 6 words at a time.....

Rikje, A 155 V6 normaly has a 2.5. Is it a Savali engine? Because they are very rare. I've got to clean mine and I will post it here also.

haha no not a savali.

The engine comes from an Alfa Romeo Spider. It's a 3.0 12v with high compression pistons and different camshafts. The bhp on the frontwheels is somewhere around 230bhp.

Here's a short clip of my brother driving the 3.0 on Zandvoort

Edit: didn't even see your previous comment!

Quote from jamesc :

Very nice! Is your car lowered? Your brother did a good job keeping it clean!
I drive a 155 to! But is a 2.0 16V widebody from 1995. The best car i've ever driven! It's a shame you rarly see them nowadays.

You should check out this website, you can find a lot of information on the forum about this beautiful car.

Yep the car is lowered using FK Könisport suspension kit. It makes the car handle much better. Post some pics of your Alfa too, because these beautiful cars deserve some attention haha I'm aware of the artc155, in fact I'm already registered there for quite some time

Here's mine, had no time to clean



Alfa 155 2.0 16V widebody from 1995. It's a great car and drives like a dream. I'm Addicted!
A lot of parts are changed but there is still a lot of work to be done. The previous owner neglected the maintenance...
It's stock except the Yellow Koni's and Aphex springs. Done by H&S Corse last year

Quote from Rikje :

Your car is my goal, it's mint! I already saw that video It's... arousing

Nice car jamesc; Please post some more pics, It's actually the only Alfa model that I like

I've liked it ever since this

H&S were the guys that did the 3.0 swap. Great lads and they really have a lot of knowlegde about these engines. I like your 2.0 btw just add some QV skirts and nice wheels and it will look great! We also have a 2.0 16v and they are really fun to drive. They miss the power of the 3.0 obviously but the revving makes it a really fun car to drive

Just came across this picture of someones car on a Track Day, so thought this would be the best place to put it.



Oh dear!

I think that's why he posted it. Infact, he actually PM'ed me about the matter, so I told him to "F Off".
