Mar 18, 2019 · TLDR: My 1997 Daihatsu is being traded in for something else in May, thinking about an Alfa Romeo, but am open for something else, budget of 1500 bucks, located in The Netherlands, help needed. My current car (A 1997 Daihatsu Charade) is still a great little workhorse and fun driving machine.

Dec 11, 2022 · I’d like to ask what the major differences are between the Alfa 159 2.4 JTDm and the 2.2 JTS in terms of service intervals, maintenance and reliability. I’d prefer to drive a petrol over a diesel but I could live with it if the diesel has less issues.

Mar 15, 2018 · It may look pretty menacing and well tuned, but the appearance is a simple result of the functional approach that has transformed this 147 GTA into dedicated track car. The JDM way wins again, even if it’s being applied to an Italian car!

Nov 22, 2016 · Interestingly my understanding is that for the 2.0, the only difference between the 136 and 170bhp flavours is the map (and possibly gearbox).

Jun 23, 2016 · With a good map it's good for around 250Bhp. Then you can play with a Hybrid version of that turbo that can get you to 280-290 Bhp. Autolusso have some tried and tested solutions for that around the 1000 pound mark. Also your intercooler will begin to be a problem.
