I'll hold off sharing any further info until I've seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 At least its one of the better manifolds. There's some right tosh out there at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.RAD Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Well, this is on the list, and there might be an added incentive to get involved (can you spot it??) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192880806023 What do you reckon???

Sorry but an alfa romeo, needs to be a classic rwd alfa, or a modern (ish) v6 busso engine (the one with the chromed manifold). this one in the listing may have a quadrifoglio badge... but still... is only a 2 liter twin spark, with welding needed... C'mon Barny. You can do better!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurici Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 By the way, You haven't had a hot hatch till you have experienced a french torsion rear axle... I.E. Clio 16v/williams, Clio 172/182, Peugeot 205/106 or my absolute favourite the SAXO VTS 16V. This saxo, and my old renault 5 Gtturbo, are the only road cars that I've ever had that I really miss... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfascozzesi Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This thread is making me smile as a lot of the cars mentioned I have had or have with some great memories. Alfa v6 GTV (busso engine) S54 engined Z4m (same engine as e46 M3 in different packaging along with the hydraulic steering of the CSL) Currently my get to work runabout is a Saxo VTR so not the top spec VTS but 15 years old with 25k miles on it and is great fun to fling about. Not as raw as a Westie but if you jump in the modern family wagon and back into it, it feels close to the go cart feel. Only other cars I have loved as much as these was my various old e30 BMW as they were my first rear wheel drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here my Saxo... she was a beauty, hot, tricky, tastefully modified, a bit crazy but mostly reliable... Unfortunately, i don't keep any graphic memory of my former 5 turbo. @BCF, buying a saxo, isnt it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
