Just sold my 33 P4, had a Clio valver,then CRX, then Audi 80 quattro.Now Im back to the good old alfa's.And no rust. 155 V6 slimmy. Not many V6's around now.They have a great motorsport history with excellent success in various touring car championships in the 90's.

Really like the 155 shape. Is this the one with moving aero parts?

Very nice car mate. I had silverstone track car with a few tasty mods for more power. Loved every minute with it and it was free from a mate.


Enjoy

Yea im not one too run around with a ring badge from ebay, I went in my CRX last year, and as a passenger the year before in an R32. Also the car as been too the ring with a previous owner.

The engine bay needs a tidy up, polish an lick of paint for head covers.I will post picks when i do this.

With a lack of job at the moment I maybe looking to get rid of her soon.Basically Im gonna give her the good once over,the bodywork is perfect already,again needs a polish. Would be nice to take her too the ring this year, but if run out of funds she will have to go.it sucks really. She was a bargain and with an M.O.T and all the work i.e. rear brakes and fuel tanks she is like new but also worth more that could free up funds for me, I also purchased it without the history,only to find a guy on an alfa forum who has the whole wod of it,which is a big brucy bonus.

Im hoping to do some tunnel runs to get an ear full before (if) i do sell her.

thanks for the comments,but the styling was not my doing,but i take my hat off to him its definately up there with the best looking 155's in the country.And now its mine MUHAHAHA!

Various sites claim between 165bhp and 175bhp,its anyones guess after 15years,you may think its gone down,but my old CRX gained 10bhp over 100,000 miles.

And about 210lbft of torque.

All im aware of on this is the stainless cat back,lowered,front splitter and sideskirts.
If i get a job, i will decat it,air filter and a remap.remap is between 10 and 15bhp on its own,so plus decat, stainless and air filter,world your oyster. My little thing is stripping cars to sve weight.If i am keeping it,shes going on a diet.

Yea the sparco ones will go,However you have to have a four leaf clover on your alfa sunny, its good luck for ye. I had one on my P4,its like the emblem for top of the range and the motorsport side of alfa.Plus shes has four leaves. I havnt crashed since i started driving so its gotta be good luck
