Welcome to the forum.
Would love to have a drive in a V6 TB one day!
And as I have hinted in my first post in the forum (previous page) now my GTV TB Q2 have his big brother - 155 Q4. The car is well known on here and I have saw the car and make contact with the previous owner (Ditlev), by this forum :). I will start a new thread about it in garage section of the forum.
Welcome Kunev!
Hi,
Alexandre Garcia from Brasilia, DF, Brasil. Like italian cars, have got myself some of them. Many You all know because are trully italian like the Alfas 145QV, 155 and 156. Also a Fiat Bravo HGT 2.0 20V, a brasilian built Fiat Marea 2.4 20V, a Fiat Elba (Uno based 5 door wagon) and a Brasilian Fiat Tempra Turbo, a 2 door model only built here.
I think i should be a wise movement to register here to learn a lot from You and to show some of the products fiat produces here in Brasil, and are different from the ones You have overseas.
Hi guys! My name's Tony. I'm from the Sin City. I own a 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe.
Hi and welcome to this not so popular, but a little "special" place :) .
Nice car you have, modern interpretation of sporty alfa :) .
Welcome. I have had the pleasure of being a passenger whilst a racing driver gave a 4C everything it had around a small handling circuit. It certainly makes a big impression!
Hi Tony, and welcome to our little corner of the internet.
Thanks guys!
So it seems we have a few new members of the forum who have joined over the last couple of weeks, please all do check in here and let us know what you are driving, however normal or insane it is.
Just to bump this thread up for our newer members, please take a moment to introduce yourself and maybe let everyone know what you are driving.
Don't forget, as a registered member you can post pics and details of your car in the 'BerlinaSportivo Garage' completely free and without charge. Its looking a little bare in there at the moment so please feel free to add your rides.
I have been here since forever I think, but never said hello and not been very active since 2008.
My name is Andreas Möller and I live just south of Helsingborg in southern Sweden. I bought my 155 Q4 -96 as new exactly 20 years ago, sept -97. I was influenced by the DTM cars on TV and wanted something quick, fun, still more practical for my DJ equipment than the 205 GTi I had at the time and preferably something unusual. I had just finished my karting "career" and had no plans for track days. I hardly knew they existed, which probably was the case at that time in Sweden. Obviously this car changed my life and I still own it, even though it is for sale.
It used to be my daily driver until summer 2001, since then it has been my enthusiast car standing in a garage most of the time.
For some years when I worked with a lot of petrol heads at Scania's engine development I got very inspired and made a lot of discrete but efficient upgrades and I am surprised how quick it is in lap times compared to the Lotus Evora S I bought 2 years ago. Have in mind that the Lotus is not bad.
My car is in the register and it has been stored in my heated garage since the first days in January 2009, so it looks very much like in the picture. A few attempt has been made the last 3 years to bring it back in traffic, but quite a few minor issues has popped up and brought it back to the garage for fixes (leaking rear calipers, leaking clutch main cylinder, slave cylinder, leaking inlet manifold hoses ... all the fun parts to work on).
Soon ...
Thanks for the update Andreas, sounds like your car has had a similar life to mine, I've had my Q4 for only 18 years though.
It used to be a daily driver, if there is such a thing when you live in London, however since 2004 its only been used occasionally. Its been in a garage all summer, having a few jobs worked on. You know how it goes, one thing gets fixed, another 2 jobs appear.
Hoping to have it back before it bankrupts me!!
Hey guys, new here. I’ve owned my delta integrale 16v for almost a year now and haven’t joined a forum to ask questions and stuff. Found this place looking for bin/xdf files to use tunerpro to tune my car and seemed like a decent and knowledgeable place so I decided to join.
Hi, nice to have you around, just ask away, as you say quite a bit of knowledge stored up in this place.
Integrales in the States must be rare, I think one of our members has a Q4 in Canada but I don't think there is one in the USA.
Post up a pic if you will, always nice to see an Integrale.
There are some here in the states but don’t see them around at all. All the ones I’ve seen are for sale at import dealers, never actually met another owner.Attachment 2949Attachment 2950Attachment 2951
Thanks for the pics, seems strange seeing an Integrale with a US backdrop.
Sounds like you've got some interesting cars from your profile. Feel free to post up pics of them.
If you've not found it yet, take a look for the garage feature of the forum, you can post up pics and details of all your cars.

Sorry some are sideways, blower car is the 62, car with black hood is the 66, gold car is my old lady’s Opel 1900
I’ve got a question for you guys. I have an electronic boost controller that works as a gauge as well. It reads boost in bar, I’m doing ok now at reading the metric gauges and decifering pretty close to US standard units I understand, but when it’s in a vacuum I have no idea what I’m looking at. Havent driven the car in a while, weather is crap right now, but as I remember at idle is about -35 and if I engine brake it’ll spike as high as -70 but generally hits -60/-65. Id like to know what unit of measurement this is so I can convert to a unit I understand.
To be honest that sounds like bar to me as well.
I've just got a boost gauge and at idle that dips to -0.35 bar.
It might just be that your boost controller doesn't show the period at the start.
Hello guys! I am from Portugal and I have a beautiful Alfa 156 2.4 SW 20v. :smile:
Hi Deasel, welcome to the site, apologies it took so long to get your login sorted.
Any pics of the 156? Love the look of a Sportwagon.
Hi Guys!
Long time no see!
I've being dissapeared from the forum for... can't even remember, maybe 7 or 8 years?
Of course I still have the Q4, in a really bad shape. More than 4 years without running.
Hi, it's good to be back :) , not that there is much activity here and maybe in general for this model around the world :( .
As you came back here maybe you think to start the return to life for her :) .
