Rate my Fiarrari

I have a 1995 fiat cinquecento that I modified a bit to look like a Ferrari, and I have to tell you reactions on the street are overwhelming and always positive. Right now it’s in the shop being swapped from 700cc to 1.4 16v 😀

Squeaking C5

Hi all,

my 2007 C5 has been making this noise while riding at low speeds. It's been a few months now, should I be worried?

It's really loud, everyone knows when I'm around the corner 😅

Bosch KE-Jet and K-Jet ppl, rejoice

How often do you see cars with mechanical fuel injections still working? Those two photos are both mine and I still own one of the cars.

My B5 is now my son's problem. Get off my lawn!

"Little Blue" our 1998 A4 2.4V6 30V 5mt fwd is not mine anymore.

I bought her as second owner in 2010 with 85000km will waiting for our 2nd child, we needed a combi for two strollers we figured.

She's been my daily ever since until now, 255000km on the clock. She was never towed once.

When my son was about 10, he realized our car was a little special and asked to have her when he grows up.

Yesterday he took his driver's license.

He did the cam belt himself 2 weeks ago.

She's his now.

My brother gifted him new fenders for his 18th.

I bought a 1500euro citroen C5.

I've built my audio.

And i've wanted it to look as stealth as possible. So one 6" x 9" Alpine SXW4625S and bluetooth module tucked in shelf. Also OEM radio delete plate looked nearly the same as this universal one.

Propane to help gas mileage?

I recently heard that you can tap a line from a propane tank into your fuel line, and with the right ratio you can save a lot on gas.
Buddy said he knew a guy who did it do his Nissan and got it up to 40mpg

Has anyone tried this? Can you help explain how to do it?

The testing of some new spare parts was successful.

Well, the car is indeed a bit front heavy, but that can be fixed. The Alfa Romeo, to my surprise, is a really cool car at an unreasonably low price.
