    The only question will be how is this sold in the U.S.?  I can't imagine Renault will open dealers for one car.  They already partner with Nissan so is this going to be rebadged?

    This. I can't imagine that Alfa Romeo will even do well enough to keep their dealers open for more than 2 years. I don't see why any dealer group pay millions to open a new store that will sell 2 models, one of which being a relatively expensive limited production sports car.

      I hate FB groups.

      "Should I twin-turbo my E30?"..... You can't/won't because you're a broke ass kid and likely have a clapped out POS.

      "I'm gonna make purists shit their pants with my 5.0 swapped e30!1!1!".... No one - especially "purists" gave two shits about your 4 door piece of shit to start with.... With or without the 5.0 swap.

      Damnit I'm bitter today...

            My e34 sputtered a little, but refused to start this morning. Came home from work, tried again, and it started right up.....

            neat. 😐

              How many times did you try to start it this morning?

                couplefew.

                EFI cars seem to get confused if they stumble and don't start, so maybe that's the issue. I had the engine lose power and almost die once while I was leaving for work, but then it came back suddenly. I was thinking it was an icy fuel line (it was real cold...), but now I'm leaning towards fuel pump...? We shall see... At least I have a back-up vehicle for the time being.

                Time being... Time.. being...

                  My e36 dislikes being started and run for a very short time, like less than a minute. The next startup after that is rough. Not sure what causes that but it's a fresh tight engine with less than 50k on it. Did you run yours a very short time the previous run cycle?

                    same thing for m60 e34s. they are known to flood if you run it for a short time (seconds) than shut it off because of the massive fuel dump on startup. ask me how i know.

                      It did that to me a few times but Snap had told me that leaky injectors could be the culprit. My coupe doesnt the same rough start thing as mentioned above too

                        On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine:

                        Priming pulse

                        Cold start enrichment

                        After start enrichment

                        WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear. 

                        One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above

                          I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff!

                                So FedEx put me on part time so I ended up finding a new job. I'm going be driving the PlayStation tour truck from April till end of October across the country to music festivals, air shows, comicon, etc. Should be a fun summer but bummed I'm gonna miss the whole car show season.

                                https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/road-to-greatness/

                                That's the schedule with last years dates still thought, hopefully some of you will stop by at summerfest!

                                    Pretty cool!  Always neat when I see that rig rolling around somewhere.  The trailer set-up is pretty neat.

                                    Plus, I designed the controller holders, so that's probably the best part, hahaha.

                                        if the kids/adults who come to play games at your truck are anything like the ones playing COD and other online games on Playstation, your days should be fairly entertaining with lots of cuss matches, racism, and hacking accusations.
