Oh I wouldn't be cutting them! :eek:
They come apart and can be reassembled.

Yeah I was looking at the Rotas. (Zero plus) and they do seen fairly nice, I'll see if I can get a proper look at some an then make a decision.

One of the head lights stuck up at the minute, waiting in jump leads.

Need not to have owned alfa to have view on them, but on boards any comment and people asked "have you own one" or other day someone asked "have you motor trade experience" :eek:
silly silly, I work on alfa cars in past for friends, I drive friends Alfa 147 for two month in 2010 as he go home for holiday/family reason. I like alfa but on here the alfa drivers too much bias to them.
they more fun to drive than astra or Passat or avensis, definite. As fwd cars they no near league of best, like FTO or some Honda. 156/147 and mark 1 focus are same same in handling dept. 166 not good handle car, like Passat, normal.
but on here Alfa brilliant, you think not, u own one? No, f*ck off so you have no opinion worth listen to :rolleyes:
but alfa boys on here have opinion on other car without owning and that fine fine

silly silly

I want a set of these, only about €450 a wheel...
What am I doing to myself?

Rota do a version but I would like to keep it all real.

Nice looking wheel! Though Id go rota myself. Theyre strong. A friend had a different set on a corolla and they didnt buckle at all. They cant be dismantled but you can specify deeper dishes Id reckon. With the money saved you can get a strut brace and some under body tunnel braces and youll have a real go kart on your hands!:)

Thats funny my 156 handles perfectly. Throw her into a sharp bend at 60 mph and she just eats up the road. You hardly have to move the steering wheel.

I usent to like them at all. its only been the last year that ive actually came to love them. I was raised on German stuff, raised that italian cars were crap, blah blah blah. THis was by people who never drove them.

THeres very few cars out there with a non-modified exhaust system, that put a smile on your face everytime you sit in her and start her up .
Theres not that many cars out there with that kind of engine that wants more, more more.

Ive owned mine for the last month and cant see myself ever going back to any of the german stuff, except for maybe an e34 m5, an 850 csi, or an amg.

Its not just on here though that drivers like alfa romeo. There's very few who look after their cars, who have bad things to say about them.

Dont get me wrong the Japs make some absolutely brilliant cars, but then they make stuff like the micra and avensis, which are fine for a to b journeys, but they wont be fun.
Thats the difference with alfa. They only make cars (except the mito) that will put a smile on your face. Even when she cuts out for no reason and starts back up again.

Alfa ownership is a disease. It gets right under your skin, and is very hard to cure. But, who wants to be cured anyway...:)

CianRyan

Fanboism 101 here, lads. And I like Alfas.

As for cars without modified exhaust? I'm not really following you here.
Are you saying Japanese cars are only decent when modified?

No certainly not. But the amount of 1.4 civics around with an exhaust a mile wide on them is ridiculous.

Ugh! Yeah, nothing worse than that.
If you're doing nothing during the week, 166man is coming down to check out my Roadster, you're welcome to come check out a right little JDM fun box. About as reliable as an Alfa at the minute too. :pac:
I also want a look at this V6 of yours. :cool:

im on work placement for another 2 weeks in clondalkin, so I can probably pop over. Where abouts are you?
The mx5 looks unreal. So much car for the money as well. Ive always had a hankering for one and nearly bought one last year, only i couldnt get a quote.

you're more than welcome to take her for a spin.

Sounds like a plan then, I'm in Old Bawn.
Wednesday or Thursday himself is coming over, we should turn this into a little detailing session.

Or a little driving session up around mountpellier hill. All mine really needs is a wash. :P

CianRyan

That's teasing me, I can't go on a proper drive in my new one.

Probably better off taking this to the chat thread.

Looking well otto.

CianRyan; car looks great in that colour, a deep dish alloy and some camber do wonders for the MX 5. Like this one.
