Alfa Romeo 156 V6 24V Sportwagon (Metallic Black)

[jamcam23]

A few pics I've finally got round to sorting out, not a standard V6 Sportwagon by any sense. Actual mods done by the previous owner, but done tastefully and sounds epic now. Not too loud at low revs, but really comes alive at around 4k.

Remapped
Cybox Cat Back Exhaust
GTA Inlet Cams
De-Cat downpipe
Bilstein Dampers & Eibach pro springs (Lower by 35mm)
BMC CDA Induction
Grooved Discs with Red Stuff Pads

So far, tested at 218bhp / 177ft Torque, but it feels quicker than that, probably isn't, but if it feels it, then I'm a happy chappy.

Looks stunning but, being a mechanical know-nothing, I've always thought alfas were better to listen to and look at than actually own

[Celt]

Very nice. It sent me trawling through the classifieds!

That all depends on if you love driving and a sense of occasion or just getting from A to B, if it's the first then I wouldn't hesitate to suggest that you try an Alfa V6, if it's the latter, then I see a cracking Mk1 Ford Focus in your near future

Nice.

Got to ask though, I always wonder, why bother bluring the number plates? Especially when you've left all the other cars clear?

I didn't take the photo's my friend did, he probably does it out of caution.

[utgjon]

Fair enough, I never really got the number plate bluring thing, there are easier ways to clone a car surely?

Lovely car though, classic design and it looks so good in black or red and even better in Sportswagon shape. The parents one is getting on for 90,000 miles these days and apart from the rubber bits of the suspension, solid as anything.

Not bad for a car designed nearly 13 years ago! and it only cost me 2 grand. Such a good car as standard but with what's been done to it, it just feels so sorted. It's not that far my friends GTA in terms of 0-100mph but he still gets the nod
