It goes forward , Was out for a ride today. The car running fine and are suprisingly good to drive from 1000Rpm, but its all happens from above 3000Rpm. I Have not tested it properly on road, I don't have plats on.

Some picture of the car on 17" rims, spacers on wheels is 10mm.
The car looks a little bit high without sideskirts.

Thing on to do list:

Remap
Sandblasting and welding were needed under the car
New bushes in powerflex
Mounting of Lester front lip
Air condition service
Bigger breaks .....

Nice five stud wheels...are you planning on fitting them to the 155?

[Integrale]

The other wheels on the garage wall is for my 159 and 147 GTA. The 17" wheels for 155 is on the last post attachment (black and silver)

[Steve Webb]

Its all starting to come together there. Looks good with those new black/silver wheels. Do you have any spacers on the wheels? The fronts look to fill the arches perfectly but the rears are tucked in a little bit.

[Integrale]

In front there is no spacers, but on the rear there is 10mm . The wheels its not possible to get more out, then the wheels will hit the arces when backseats are loaded.

Do not use backseats then
Nice cars You've got there, almost exact same setup as mine

147GTA, Brera (basically same as 159) and q4

great choices!

I saw that in your garage.

[Xti]

Hello there! Nice choice for your q4's wheels. Which are the rims specs? Are they 7,5J? And what tires size are you running? Thanks.

Cheers,
Cristian.

Now the tunning is finnish after a trouble full week. The internal wastegate is to week, and the turbo pressure drops from 1,4 bar to 1,2 bar quikly. We had hoped for 300hk but there is only between 260-280hk . I need to get it on a dyno to confirm it.... Anyway the car drives well over 1500Rpm with this race min cam. The tunner thinks this cams makes the car verry slow between 1500-3500rpm, so in the futher i will switch to other cams for better torque

What Turbo did you go for, because with that sort of setup I would have expected 300bhp to be a conservative estimate.
If you are only getting 260-270bhp I would say that something other than the cams is not right.

Why did you reduce the compression of the engine?

[Integrale]

I use the Turbonetics T3/T04e-50 F1-57 .63A/R. The engine was bulid from a recepie of Guy Croft. The compression is verry low because the head gasket is 1,6mm it should be 0,6mm I think (wrong delivery from Walker's).
Another good thing is that the valve don't hit the pistons when (not if) the cambelt snap's . But keep in maind I don't know too mutch about this engine stuff ...

[Integrale]

Today I read the engine faults codes with my new bought program. The injection lamp was on. It's show's faulty cam phase sensor (open circiut). Orded a new one today so now I hope the backfire when starting will be solved.

Sorry for the bad English in this thread

Wich program have you used?

I think the name is startrek.

Now are the rust cutted away and new pices is welded in. But best of all, today the snow "arrived". Verry verry fun with 4X4 then

[Steve Webb]

Maybe we ought to look into organizing a special winter get together somewhere with snow. A group of Q4s and a snow\ice track would make for a cracking weekend.

[Integrale]

Yes Steve that had been a nice weekend. Some years ago the Norwegian Alfa Romeo club arrange a yearly weekend on a ice track. Unfortunatly I never had time to join them. But from the report in the alfa club magazin it was verry verry fun.

[Integrale]

Fantastic winter car!

Now that looks a lot of fun. I'd prefer a little more run-off though.

Are you just on snow tyres, or have you got a set of studded?
