Front bumper look really nice with air vents, yellow fog lights and washer nozzles :thumbsup:
Where did you plan the front number plate to be placed? These are "sport pack" wheels 16", right. Will they be used on the car? They are already painted or to be painted in other color?
Hi Kunev!
Thats a good question regarding the number plate position, but to be honest i think i will mount it over the air vents as original but with some kind of quick coupler.
At the moment i am not sure which wheels i will mount, just at the weekend i tried my favourit Compomotive TH2 8Jx17 inch with ET35, but at the front axle the are above one centimeter of the fender edge and thats not street legal in Austria.

So finally I am desperately looking for Compomotive TH2 wheels in 7,5j x17 inch ET35, but thats very difficult. Or I just use the speedline wheels 16" as they are for beginning!

Hello Together!
I just wanted to show some actual pictures of my Q4, the outside and interieur is almost complete.
At the weekend my brother finished the complete motor service (timing belt, motor oil, filters) and the last step is the exhaust system and the search for the correct wheels.

Looking great Christian! I need to do the timing belt on mine!

Is the red 155 outside on the picture also Q4?
The model of these wheels is MontecarloCorse 17" right, in 7×17″ I guess. From what I see EVOCorse made only motorsport and vintage wheels and are partner with Fondmetal and Arcasting. I confuse the brand a little with Speedline Corse, which are part of Ronal Group now from what I see.
Good luck with solving ABS issue! I also have a problem with it and the lamp is lit.
Hello Kunev!
Yes the red Alfa 155 in the back is also a Q4, this was the beginning of the virus, bought with big dreams in Germany.
Transported to Austria and just recognized that it has a connecting rod bearing damage.
Started to repair the motor and discovered that it was an accident car (front and left rear).
So the car was written off for me, but some weeks later I bought the black Q4 in Austria in a very used condition....that wasn't rational...
But finally after years off restauration, I am really happy to own one and that I never gave up on the dream!!!
Yes completly right, Montecarlo Corse in 7x17".....fit really creat to the Alfa, I also drive the same design with Compomotive rims on my Lancia Delta Integrale Evo1.
The ABS System is really difficult, also it looks like i have one of the first versions (1th series with water spray from 1992) without a diagnostic output for the examiner...

If satisfaction from black car is enough this may be inspiration for red car in the future and corresponding thread here ;)
So you have also an integrale Evo I, good for you :thumbsup: Will be interesting for me to give us your opinion for comparison between them :)
Yes, ABS system is different and more complex, that on front wheel drive cars. It is Bosch 2S and its control unit is located below rear seats, according to manual (I suppose you have it). For which control unit you mean, that doesn't have diagnostic output - ECU or ABS control unit or both?
Looks great with those wheels. Very well suited!
Hello Kunev!
I think that another restoration will not be enough, I'm glad if I can keep my vehicles running.
So visually the Alfa is rather inconspicuous, the Delta certainly has the greater recognition value.
In terms of driving, the Delta seems light-footed to me, but I've always had a lot of fun with the Alfa - but it's almost impossible to master in winter.
Unfortunately, I don't have a diagnostic connector for the ABS system, the diagnostic connector for the engine control unit is in the passenger footwell.

Hello AlfaJack!
Thank you, I really wanted to have the rims on it...
