:D :D :D :D :D

big boys started it, then ran away :D

Great looking car - having black wheels makes them look smaller as well - ask any lady with an LBD :)

I wonder if they actually know the market they are selling into??

would be great if you would keep us posted on any tweaks you make to the car itself in line with some of the points you raised - eg stereo, wind noise etc ;)

:lol: :lol:

Wayhay - echo Gambits statement, put your mark on it and all will be well :)

Wotcha and welcome !!

nice one - The ring - a nice calender point to aim for and ensure the work gets completed ;)

does that legacy model you tested have a metal surround all the way around the doors as the impreza models were changed to incorporate that with the newer models with noise reduction being the reason. ultimately the SWMBO quality gate is one that needs to be passed... so there are some pharmacuticals - allegedly - that may help in order to pass the gate :D I had a chap next door to me who, for 15 years, took an angle grinder on a regular basis to two alfa suds - I never saw either of these two cars turn a wheel so the one thing I concluded was Alfa knuts can get anything through a quality gate if they want to :lol: :lol: :lol:

lots of light weight goodness there

it is too far removed from the concept car IMO - shame really

I to was saving it for the big day so... Merry Christmas to all!!

I think they should have selected neutral first :D

serious driftage :D

you shouldnt have any issues given your Alfa experience ;)

I like 'Brutish' :)

sorry cant help :(

dont mind the shark fin - was considering one of those previously...

thats great to hear after the initial niggles

That is a beast!!

it can do but you are looking at only a small amount - and it becomes a trade off between how much wear internally you are willing to accept against the maximum amount of performance the engine can generate - if you are not racing I would not worry about it

There is a lid for every pot....

should be the same - still a caliper and piston setup like the others, chock the front wheels and release the brake oh and welcome :)

Wotcha and welcome - looking forward to some photos ;)
