ha ha

thats what i thought, but they do - cars got vented discs etc so will compare with dads 16v maybe to check if they are smaller - believe they are off a tempra but now got a set of proper 20vt wheels of an LE so gonna try those on and sell the 16vt wheels perhaps :tempt:
Also driving it to scotland next week and then to Paris and on to the French Coast so hoping it makes it :worship:
 
I think the 16vt wheels look great - like an upgrade to the classic 14" Tipo / Tempra 4-spoke alloys. Plus it reminds people that under each Coupe is a Tipo! I don't personally like the bigger, spindly Coupe alloys, they spoil the chunky look of the Tipo.

As for the Alfa alloys, they don't really do much for the car I reckon - makes it look like a 1.4 Formula model. Maybe that's the idea.....

yeah its dads with alfa 15's on it hes had it from new and drives it like he stole it - he used to be a rally driver and has had a lot of quick motors over the years inc a lot of fast italian stuff :slayer:

LOL - they're 164 wheels! :slayer: It's very interesting to see them on a Tipo... they become the best part of the styling :D... I think, due to the size, they actually look quite good. You just don't get plastic wheel covers THAT big ;)

Though, those are 164 four-stud wheels, so must be off a Twinspark. My three 164s all have five-stud wheels ;)

I wonder if you have the problem with the Sedicivalvole seats fading to green in the UK? I don't think the sun is quite as aggressive as it is in our summers.

EDIT: I just realised that both your Sedicis have too many doors? I thought they only came in 3-dr form? :confused: Maybe that was only in NZ - I know someone in NZ that made a 'custom' 5-dr Sedici out of a crashed 3-dr and a good 5-dr DGT.

Thanks!

Looking for grill lights and uprated lowered suspension

Just cut out middle box so only running oe rear silencer, manifold was cracked under heatshield so cut off heatshield and mate tig welded it up and put straight thru instead of mid box.

BIG DIFFERENCE!

IT REALLY FLIES NOW

Accelerates crisper and sharper and more POWER :D
 
Yes it does get hot - no hotter than my 130tc though :peace:

Had no cat - but we tigged lambda boss into straight thru section after
flexi pipe thats after manifold :slayer:

Took it out today - gf was late for work - hammered it round Clapham into London Bridge - it FLIES :)

BBR chip going in next week - will post difference
 
I`ve been thinking about de-catting my Tempra twin cam (or putting a big cat from something 3-4.0), has your computer been fooled or do you get any strange faults?

Also what were the emmissions & fuel consumption like after?

Cheers (y)

Bored one Sunday evening a few weeks back so booked a ferry online and
drove to see my mate in Paris. . . After missing the ferry and driving through heavy fog
through the night I arrived in Paris as the sun came up absolutely knackered!
