r/AlfaRomeo

Hey fellow Alfisti! 🍀

​As you might know, the new Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan has just launched. The map and the atmosphere look absolutely incredible, but there’s a huge miss for us: the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is nowhere to be found (and it’s been missing since FH2).

​Seeing the timeless lines of the Giulietta tearing up the neon-lit streets of Tokyo or tackling the Japanese mountain touge passes would be an absolute dream.

​I checked the official Playground Games feedback portal to vote for its return in future updates, and... it only has 2 votes! It’s honestly shocking for such a beautiful and widely loved hot hatch. The developers only take notice and renew licenses when they see high demand from the community.

​Let’s show them the passion of the Alfa community! It takes literally two seconds: click the link to the official Microsoft/Forza portal, log in with your Xbox/Microsoft account, and hit "VOTE".

​Here is the direct link to the request:

​Let’s pump those numbers up and bring the Giulietta back to where it belongs! Massive thanks to anyone who takes a minute to support the cause. 🚗💨

EDIT: Guys, in just 4 hours we've reached 36 votes! At this rate, we'll probably hit 100 by the end of the day!!! Let's hope that's enough!

Second photo was the wheels that came with the car when I bought it, it had 15 inch 185/65r15. Not ugly, but not very pretty either in black. Bought a set of 16" teledials for 50 bucks and had them restored and painted for 300. It is a sort of gunmetal grey with a very light green pearlescent to match with the cars exterior color. Wrapped in 205/55r16 nankang ns2r semi slicks which look really meaty and I like the look of alot. Happy with the outcome!

What have you done to your 1.4 MultiAir to get more power? I was thinking about getting a intercooler and chip, but i’m not sure how far I Can go, i’ve heard the gearbox Can handle 250, What are your Experiences? And which brands do you recommend for mods?

150,000 on the odometre, but mostly highway kilometres and serviced every 10,000 kms. Owner says he is a aircraft engineer and fixed the sunroof mechanism himself, (common issue on the early Giulias). Also says he addressed the battery and turbo o ring.

Apparently he knocked one of the hoses coming out of the coolant bottle, the plastic connector snapped. Says he got a temporary fix on it that's holding up.

Should I be wary? Going to see it this weekend. Cheers.

...zilch, nada, nothing.

Have had this car for over 2 years and it's never put a foot wrong. Dream spec with the carbon bucket seats, competition red paint, B&O sound system and yellow calipers. Sounds throaty for a V6 and is always a head turner no matter where I go. My only upgrade will be to a Montreal green version in the same spec.

Right, with that said...I'm off for a ride....

Pics for reference, anyway to do this or is it just not an option? Makes it easier to read even in daytime.

Alfa Romeo 159 Tbi TI version. After some minor repairs (high pressure steering pump hose and coolant reservoir), she is ready for the road. One of the best driving experiences I ve had.

It’s been a great 5 years of ownership , the biggest thing I’d recommend to any owner is to replace that front grill with a black hex instead . Was a huge change in how it looks .

“Mod” list :
Aftermarket back box exhaust
Ram air , cold air intake
Lowered on springs
Billstein shock absorbers
Aftermarket wheels
Front grill
Front splitter
And I replaced the badges as they were worn

Haven’t done anything major but for me I feel I’ve transformed the car into something I really enjoy !

Do you know that feeling when you are getting a car that is not that common in your area?
And after that they just start popping from nowhere 😀

Hello Alfa-people!

So I've had my 2018 Stelvio for about 4 months and I sometimes get the check engine yellow lamp along with the Auto Start/stop unavailable message. Engine power is cut which sucks when I mainly go on the highway. The two messages always comes together. Approx 4-6 trips with error and then it disappears. Comes back faster if it rains I believe, but approx 4-6 trips before it comes back.

Is this a battery issue? Still got the used-car-warranty from dealership so am planning to get it checked and diagnosed there, but wanted to know why it is like this?

Jokes aside… $80 to fill up with 93 octane is insane.

Guess we better get used to it.
