New with an 155Q4 nb'92

[biggie_]

Hi everybody,
first of all, i have to say my english isn't very good (i think), but with my few knowledge and the support of a translator i'll try to do it well.

I'm registered from 23/12/07 and this is my first post, sorry for that, but i don't have too much time, work on an family business...:doh:

Well, let's go to introduce myself and my "machinas", my name is Sergio, I'm 31 old, and i live in Menorca (Balearic Islands), Spain; I'm the proud owner of an Alfa GT V6 from 2006, and I bought three months ago this amazing (for me) Alfa 155 Q4 "nb" '92 ;)

I downloaded all the 155 Q4 Tech, and i'm trying to learn a lot of it, many thanks to who make this information possible :cheers:

I'm going to put a few mod's (upgrades?) to my Q4, not very radical because i'm using the car everiday, probably i'll need your help, in case of that i'll post it on the 155 tech forum.

That's all for the moment, i hope you like this photos:

Hello and welcome. A couple of lovely cars you have there!

Your English seems absolutely fine to me but we do have some Spanish speakers here if need be - I am learning Spanish too :)

Hello Sergio and welcom on the forum.
You won't regret the Q4, I drive/drove my Q4 also daily since 25-10-2002:cool: Unfortunatly I have cambelt troubles at the moment and am planning a repair very soon. I do have a lot of modifications, should send it in for the register some time. There is a lot of knwoledge here, so fire away ;)

Greetings,
Marc

Welcome, Sergio !
Great cars you have, that means lots of great moments. Enjoy.

Cheers,
Chris.

Nice selection of cars you have there. You like red cars then?

The interior of the Q4 looks immaculate!

Possibly the reddest Q4 I've ever seen....very nice!

Hello sergio,

Nice cars you got.
The Q4 looks great for its age, does it have little milage or does it just look that way?

The biggest upgrade for the 155Q4 would be a chip from squadra tuning.
This would get you from 190bhp to 235 bhp. But you would need ron98 fuel for it.

340 euro but worth every cent.

Good morning,
Thanks a lot for the wellcome :smile:

About the Q4, she comes from a great spanish Alfa's collector, and has only 45 K when I bought her, i have to say that was been rebuild on 2005 and as you can see looks great and practically in new condition. I forget to say that is a "series 1" so she has the waterspray system.

For Steve, hehe yes, I like red cars and red motorcycles too, i have a red Ducati monster too, I love italian macchinas :biggrin:

For Q4Jan, thanks for the information of Squadra tunning chip, but i have bought an Evocars chip to a friend of mine ;)

I have some questions about chipping, waterspray and probably something else, please take a look at the tech forum:smile:

Hi Biggie,

How are the roads on Menorca now? I remember being there on holiday in about 1988 (had first holiday romance there as well - well i was 15 at the time) and if I remember there was only 1 main road, and about 2 petrol stations. Nice place though.

[biggie_]

Hi Steve,
Here's still only one main road is very boring to drive; fortunly we have two or three secondary roads that very beautiful to drive and with very few traffic, new asfalt and 3th - 4 th gear corners :smile:

Nice place to live ... sure :biggrin:

Yep thats what i remembered it to look like. This is where we stayed, looks like it hasn't changed all that much to be honest.
