Clubace Clutched August 19, 2012 Share August 19, 2012 Anyone has any idea if the back rear seats in Alfa GT is good for adults? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabretooth 2nd Gear August 19, 2012 Share August 19, 2012 Depends on how many adults u want to fit in the back. 2 are very comfrotable, maybe 3. But if they're 1.8m then it might be a little tricky. They'll fit, but the driver will be in Group N rally drivery seating position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not know if the driver was in a Group N Rally driving position. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, my seats are sports seats and usually are quite upright. The GT can fit 1 or e wheelchairs in the boot quite comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le_Stig Neutral Newbie August 21, 2012 Share August 21, 2012 Thanks for the comments...I was wondering how Eibach ARBs were on Alfa 159 based on personal experience as AS told me they have them installed in a few Alfa 159s. I had them in my previous Fiat Brava and it did change the overall handling. Initially, I had a Sparco front strut bar which did not give any extra edge except beautify the engine bay. Also, had after market absorbers (Titans) and Eibach springs which also did not contribute much to the handling. If you walk into a restuarant and ask the waiter: is the food here good? You will expect an answer: "Yes!" Enough said. I reckon you go direct to those that fitted the ARBs and get their advise. Like I mentioned, I had the Eibach ARBs on my previous bella, I felt minimal difference. The majority improve came from the coils (KW V2s and the setup). Front Strut for FWD cars are honestly in my personal opinion not required. Predominantly FWD cars have inherit understeer and adding Front Struts manifies the problem. Yes, it helps and create stability on straights and on high speed but when it comes to a bend or corner, you're likely to have a hugging episode with the barrier. Then again, I am coming from the angle that you are driving hard enough. On the hindsight, normal driving won't feel much difference so ultimately got to know what your driving style is and what you really want out of these so called enhancement or modifications.

Le_Stig Neutral Newbie August 21, 2012 Share August 21, 2012 haiz... the aircon on my alfa spider suddenly stopped working and the driver's foot well area heat got alot warmer then usual... the electronic indicators on the dashboard show that the fan is working, the aircon is switched on... BUT nothing is coming out of the vents. Not even warm air what could be the problem?? Sounds like your vents motor has some glitches. I had the same problem. Sent back to EA, all they did was disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, reconnect and calibrate the system. Everything went back to normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe 3rd Gear August 21, 2012 Share August 21, 2012 Sounds like when Im carrying passengers in back of Brera - maybe would work for a pair of amputees..........but then again where to put wheelchairs brera has worse leg room than GT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmojon 1st Gear August 22, 2012 Share August 22, 2012 I beg to differ. It is very subjective as well when it comes to this not just diameter. Got to factor in a few aspects. Suspension setup including ride height, tyres which also includes pressure, temperature and compound and last but not least, what kind of speed, braking and entry angle. The car can be perfectly setup but again, understeer and/or oversteer can still be induced. I read your following thread and though about it. You are right, there is a formula to calculate the overall stiffness of an ARB. In the formula it include diameter of bar, radius from pivot and elasticity of material use(saabretooth is right). spring rate for solid bar = Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
