i want to keep my bravo too, i'll probably need a spare car now i own an alfa.
its amazing how much similarity there is electrically and mechancially. the 156 is just a bravo saloon.

lol, my 155 is going to be a track then poss a race car, and if i can afford to run and insure both cars in certain you can
the 1.8 t sparks a great engine aint it, mines the 8v and pulls pretty damn well, plus its got fairly shirt gears so has a habbit of pulling pretty damn well too, just amedicore top speed of 130 ish
love the aero kit too, looks aggressive and sporty and shouts, move bitch
we will take over the alfa section together

i've always loved the twinsparks, partly because they make you smile when you drive and partly because they make lesser mechanics cry when they brake.the 1.8 t sparks a great engine aint it, mines the 8v and pulls pretty damn well, plus its got fairly shirt gears so has a habbit of pulling pretty damn well too, just amedicore top speed of 130 ish
i wanted a 2.0TS to better take the weight of the 156, but the 1.8 is still surprisingly quick. it feels as quick as my bravo 0-60 and definately has more top end. i get the feeling mpg has taken a turn for the worst, but thats life.
sounds like a planwe will take over the alfa section together

fuel costs are nothing really when you consider how much car your getting, I was/might still be looking for a mega uber mpg diesel, BUT TBH I'm swinging more to buying a cheaper older alfa and ploughing the rest into suspension and fuel

You forget the fantastic spine tingling noise it makes when you gently push the happy pedal
. IMO sounds better than the V6 (except the 3.0 156 GTA)

yeah its almost a tinny motorbike engine noise in the background, very addictive, and most probably the cause of my mpg problem
mine has an induction kit and full stainless exhaust so its a bit hard to hear the twinspark behind the roar or italian fury :slayer:
italian NA screamers FTMFW :devil:
as for the *other* 156ts, erm, make it estate shaped and i'll have your left arm off on sight :yum:
or dump the engine in a sorted alfasud :worship:
