Damn, a vid came up in my recommendations and I couldn't believe it when I saw it was Josh, he doesn't seem like the type to be into cars 😂 Been a fan of SR4U for years
Same situation with me a few weeks ago lol
When I saw your face I was like this dude is from soccer reviews for you or something. You literally have every pair of cleats in the world lol. Just subscribed
I am a couple of hours north of Toronto and picked up a red 4c spider. I got a few mods, ordered a carbon fibre top from Germany (you SHOULD really get this, it really upgrades the appeal), chrome A/C control dials, metallic red engine cover. I like the livery and the mods you put on your car. I may steal a few.
dude you are becoming one of my favorite car TH-camrs you're a genuine guy, not like some of the other car guys
Hello Josh,
My 4c I’ve changed both seats I have Tillet carbon seats and the fabric and stitching I helped create you will use two sided tape to secure the top and bottom pieces to the seats and you can use the original seat brackets the carbon seats are not comfortable especially with the racing harness but they are fun and a great look.I also have the center muffler I added a FIA flashy rear light plus I have a Capristo set up and defuser not a Koshi defuser.Your car looks great I kind of get where your coming from hopefully you’ll have the best tuner you can find to upgrade your ECU or get the hybrid ECU.
Canada v US I also have AlfaWorks 2.0 conversion and it’s been a nightmare beware of bad mechanic shop owners and tuners.
Was always curious about this car. You've got some nice mods!
This might be one of the first videos that I have seen from someone that has 0 dislikes 😂 well done, keep it up 👍
As always great job on the video Josh. Awesome list of mods so far, I really like the idea of mismatched seats, hoping to do drivers seat and harness/bar in the Jeep next spring if this virus goes away.
Bro I used to watch your soccer reviews in high school and stumbled upon your car video because I love the 4C. Congratulations on this beautiful spec machine it’s the best one I’ve seen! Bravo
I know this video was 2 months ago but this Alfa Romeo is the reason why I’d get one because your Romeo be looking on point.
Crazy mods bro! That’s my dream Alfa Romeo
Cool video! Keep up the good work!
Very very good!! My compliments!!
In the early 80s in Peterborough I had a Bertone Fiat X 1/9. I completely rebuilt that car from the ground up. The 4C is like the modern day version! With all Italian style! I have always loved the 4C since it came out! Keep up the great work! And go with a Red seat. Cheers happy Canada day!
4c remember me Lancia Stratos
These are righteous mods, in a day and age when so many want to frankenstein even the most wonderful performance engineering pieces 🙏🏾
Wheels are beautiful
Looks great bro👍
Have you looked into getting the road or track alignment kit to make handling more predictable at the limit?
loved your video
i have a 17 yellow coupe. took forever to find it. liked your video. am certainly gonna follow your front end mod.. also the rear splitter.. i have the akro exhaust option on mine..
im thinking about a rear wing... have you thought about that?
thanks er
Just beautiful. You did very well.
You are blessed having a very unique fun vehicle. This coming from a C7 Stingray owner.
This is an awesome car, I love your taste👌
That alpha just looks so nice that yellow is amazing
Nathan Johnston; Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili = ALFA 😊. No "p" anywhere 😉 ...... "Romeo" being the second name of : Nicola Romeo 🏎. Still no "p" though 😎
That’s really lit
I thought I was over the 4C when I opted for the BMW Z4 35iS. I am not. One day... and the Prototipo Giallo is my favourite colour, Coupe though!
Excellent mods you have had done on the car! It's awesome!
Starting in 2017, the 4C coupe came in yellow too. Rather rare in North America actually.
it's currently listed on Turo in Los Angeles
Blue Alcantara race seats with white harnesses would look bomb!
Terrific video and car by the way!!! 😂
A Red drivers seat and a blue passenger seat would look cool actually
Red driver's seat and a white passenger seat, and a green steering wheel
Tryz haha that’s crazy
Can't wait to be back in 🇨🇦 Toronto...currently based in Cape Town...then will be looking for a 4c Spider and implement a good 👍 anont if the mods on this video ..a brilliant informative video
Will you consider a rear wing like on the 4c quadriofoglio that didn't make it into production?
Hence i'd recommend going true to size, for these augment wheels to achieve the best and most comfortable fit
about the saets make it alcandara yellow-black with a cardon frame
also loose weigth and put a small wing at the rear to give you some downforce you gonna need it!...
well done my freand!
I have the belt bar . Make sure u do 3 inch belts not four like I did and of course the race seat is next for me also
Do you have emissions restrictions where you are? I love the idea of the high flow cat, but I don't think I can pass the emissions test.
Great mods! What are your allignment specs?
Have you thought about a momo super cup seat? Its black and yellow which would match the rest of your interior and its affordable for an fia seat... also momo is Italian haha. I have a super cup in my 4c. Its great. Cheers!
Did you notice a big difference with the BMC air filter in terms of sound? Why didn't you go full a full-on new intake?
Beautiful car
What are the wheels? I’m looking for another set for mine and those look sick!
Excellent
I wasn’t fan of the steering wheel as well, changed mine for aftermarket setup
How do you wash your lambo? do you wash it yourself or do you take it samewhere?? im really curious because I don't imagine that people take their supercars to general hand car wash places.
Green+White+Red horizontal stripes on the Huracan is flag of Iran or Equitoreal Guinea. Glad to see you corrected that in the 4C. Awesome mods bro.
Out of curiosity.... what is the fitment of those augment wheels... offset, etc? Looking to change up my stock 4C rims and I like your tire choice... just wanted to make sure I don't rub the front wheel wells.
Ferrari or not your car looks beautiful 💯🔥
Where did u find the ppf for the back deck? Ive been told they didnt make the template to fit it?
Love the wheels , i have the same koshi lower upper and lower diffuser , i simply had mine clear coated and now it matches , steering wheel i had mine done by carbontastic , i wish i could share photos with you , if your curious on alfa forum my user name is Lars, my 4C is highly modified both interior and exterior including euro carbon light conversion. Thanks for providing attention to this car its very underrated
Lars is definitely WAY over the top with his 4C....amazing car. I go by RKBerta there and am a Super Moderator for the Forum.
Wow!!🥊
Nice!
But did you get a string bag?
ONTARIO SQUAD
Where have you been bro , i really hope you can help.... your rims , offset and size are perfect any chance you can share those details with me front and rear ?
Love the mods
Love the guy
Mismatch seats sound awesome in the 4C. If possible, match the new seat with the blue of the stripe. I personally wouldn’t go for a red one, as the car already has yellow, blue, white and black.
Nice mods! What are your wheel specs?
Change the steering wheel to a momo one, theyre very nice and fully customizable
If you’ve been pulled over in any of your cars. I think it would be interesting to get a video on why you got pulled over and stuff like that
You do a good job of "presenting to camera"! Lil tip on track driving with your current seat: Use the dead pedal to push yourself back into your seat. It'll help reduce the lateral weight transfer through turns until you get your racing seats.
Even then, he is probably pulling 1.1 to 1.2G in the corners and a touch more when braking... You are more worried about holding yourself in position than maximizing corner speeds. It is NOT fun to hold yourself into place with the 4C....
I can assure you I was using the dead pedal to it's fullest potential. If you're pulling significant Gs through a corner, along with trying to manage the manual steering, the complete lack of seat bolstering is an issue.
I have the race seat option with Alcantara centers so that holds you in better. I also use a CGLock device. Finally....tilt the seat to the middle position in front and lowest in the back....makes a huge difference in comfort, keeping you from sliding forward and also slightly lowers you to give better view of dash display (I am 6'1"). Seats with more bolstering would be nice if you track a lot but makes getting in and out of the car much more difficult and may require a removable steering wheel mod.
Get an F430 Scuderia......it's more attainable, has the same basic engine, and I would argue the driving experience is better than 458 Speciale.
Keep a bigger following gap and you'll have less problem from debris from vehicle ahead hitting your car.
You never said how wide the wheels are and how much wider than stock?
I'd go with Forgeline 17" all the way around......yes, higher profile in the back to get power down better off slower turns. Great street tire.....I run them on my '99 Civic daily driver and they're fine in the rain. Hardcore track tire.....Nitto NT01.
I think KW Variant 3 coilovers would have been a better choice.
Seat.......Bride Gias is a reclinable, comfortable seat that holds you better than most fixed back seats. Maybe Recaro. NRG are similar and much less expensive but not as comfortable or quite as well bolstered.
Harnesses......Schroth six points.
Instead of harness bar......roll bar. You don't lose any room and you need roll protection.......especially since you're using harnesses and it's a spyder.
Since you're using harnesses get a HANS device. Nexgen or Schroth are other options. Depends what you find is more comfortable.
This Alfa would be a great Sears Point car. For a horsepower track like that, the Huracan is a much better choice.
ur car is niceee bro…. my suggestion is remove that circle decal because a lowkey alfa 4c’s look more better
How about a gearbox ECU swap? I'm looking at Alfaworks gearbox ECU that apparently increases shift speeds. I'm definitely curious to find out how that impacts performance but also how that impacts wear on the transmission
Not worth it....minimal difference.
Nice car
I have so many rock chips on mine, I’m going to need to do a paint correct eventually... then clear wrap that I should of done in the first place
The fiat 500 abarth also has no muffler
Fwrwrri wishes it has something with these brakes and styling
I have this color on my Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe.
It's a limited edition on the coupe. (YellowBlackEdition)
Cool car, you still own it?
Who tuned your 4C, are they in the GTA?
I’d suggest to look into a Tillett carbon fiber seat. Lotus uses Tillett seats.
Also, how tall are you? Ive sat in a 4C and my knees were pressed against the steering wheel (I am 5 10’)
I am 6'-1"....no problem at all....you can adjust the steering wheel up and down towards or away from you, and the seat forward and back and seat angle via existing adjustment bolt holes. Sounds like the steering wheel adjustment was way off by who ever sat there last. Car has plenty of room even for a bit taller person.
Nice
Maybe incorporate the Italian flag colours for the seat and harness. That'll pair nicely with the little flags on the fins.
You should do a video of how easy/hard it is to daily drive the 4C
I have one and no problem....other than limited storage space for long trip. Leave the wife at home than no problem ;-)
@@RobertKarlBerta Hahaha. Yeah, don't think my better half would like that!
I don't think i'll change anything on my 4C, except the tyres.
I believe, when time comes, and I need new clutches, I will put in a 2.0L upgrage from Alfaworks, and the twinscroll turbo. I am not sure I can handle more the 330 HP on this car but hey in 2 years or so, I might be able to understand more about bore/stroke and high RPMs motors. For now, I love it as it is, today we got away from a Ford Focus GT.
Next mod install A/C split system in your garage !
Red bucket seat with yellow six point harness on carbon harness bar ?
Or Black bucket seat with red six point harness on yellow harness bar ?
Can you a 6 point sr4u laces instead of harnesses? It’d be more durable! 😂.. love the content bro...
There are after market kits to provide race harness setup. Go to ALFA 4C Forums for information.
How much was the PPF?
Very nice mods, I probably have about 3/4 of them done myself. And YES, get a real seat & harness!!!! It is THE best mod for track use (apart from the 17/18 stagger for better tire selection and pads). Tillet has some nice options for the 4C. I have the Technocraft seats, which are great (full CF), but the company is too big of a pain to deal with.
How are those seats? They don't look like they have much in the way of bolstering.
@@carproblems8547 The stock seats have about 2" of side bolster at mid thigh. The Technocraft have roughly 4" at thigh, I believe the Tillet are roughly the same. Plus it has much more support around the ribcage to lean against than stock. You are significantly bigger than I, so you need to find one you fit (I'm 6ft 180lbs, but not very fit). I got mine ages ago because a buddy of mine bought the driver seat but didn't fit. Plus I have a coupe, and need the headroom with helmet (mine are hard bolted to the floor -no slider)
@@carproblems8547 l see you are in GTA.
Do you still have the car?
Put the v6 turbo engine.
Dude,
Frequent customer of EA and run @breakfastclubyyz. Long time Porsche guy, but have sites on an Alfa 4C. Love to get out for a cruise and chat sometime!
Running a 6 point harness without a HANS device is dangerous. It meaningfully increases the chances of a Basilar skull fracture in the event of an impact as your body is fully restrained. Pls do a bit of research on this and stay safe.
EvanKeel....You are correct. VERY dangerous to use a 6 point harness without a HANS device. The stock seat lap belt on a modern car is designed to give a bit to prevent this danger. I see a lot of people who put in race harnesses and think that it is safer.....and that is not correct without the HANS device. I am not saying a stock belt is better than a race harness and would be better in a race car....it isn't but the entire system must be used. Before you had to have a roll bar or cage to connect the HANS. Now they have anchor systems that you wear that work great. Please research this.
Great informations about the 4C. I just bought one. I’m wandering about few things that you have changed. First, the brake pads. Brakes are indeed not that great compare with a 911. But do the Tarox squeals a lot ? I do not intend to track the car , except on occasional basis.
What about the steering block spacers. Does that involve lot of work? Also, I’m not sure I understood the benefit of that modification. Does that prevent the car to « dance « on the road ? I is prone to do that.
Finally, where did you get the sold motor mounts ?
Best regards. Love Mosport.
I don't find that they make any noise. The blocks basically change the angle of the suspension, adjusting the camber, caster and toe. If you check out the links in the description, there's more info on everything there.
Join ALFA 4C Forum for answers to your questions. I go by RKBerta there and am a Super Moderator. Brake pads make a difference on track going from stock street pads to race pads at expense of a lot more noise and not working great on street as they don't warm up....properly setup there aren't many cars that can match a 4C braking on track. Some like the AW spacers, others don't. They add more caster mainly and you can also get versions to add more negative camber. ranging from street to full race A good alignment to optimum specs and better tires than the stock PZeros make a huge difference. and may be all you need.
Love your channel and your 4C. I really want to get a 4C but unsure about its reliability and also, I live in Midtown Toronto which I have no garage. Really worry about how will it withstand the harsh Canadian weather if it will be parked outside. Although there are many 911s in my neighborhood parked outside year round.
Any hiccup with your 4C so far? I heard quite a few people have issues with the transmission.
I would not call the 4C a great car for the Canadian winter. It's also not a great car in traffic. On a good road or on track, it's amazing, but as a daily driver, especially in harsh weather, it's highly compromised.
@@carproblems8547 Thanks, I don't plan to use it as a daily. It is more like a motorcycle to me. Just to drive it for fun.
Look forward seeing more great content from your channel. Happy Canada Day!🇨🇦
I don't know if I would have my car if I had to park outside.I live in Michigan but my car goes in hibernation in Winter to avoid driving in snow and dealing with road salt. As far as reliability....they are pretty much proving to be bullet proof. You can run them on track all day even in boiling temperatures and they don't overheat or go into limp mode like a LOT of cars today.The trans issues are rare....mainly the earliest examples that simply needed a TCU reflash which was done under regular service visits. No recalls at all either. My 2015 Launch Edition was bought new and still love it. There are a few Canadian owners....you can go to the ALFA 4C Forum and find them. I am a Super Moderator there...go by RKBerta.
bro you need to change the color of the brake calipers to blue
I have the same exhaust but with a Novitec catless downpipe. How's the smell with the high flow cat? No one wants to follow behind me in my 4C. 😅
There's very little gas smell. My AMG GTR with down pipes is way worse.
Was the ceramic coating applied to paint, then the clear poly protective layer on top?
The car was coated after the PPF was put on. I wouldn't say that it's the norm to coat a car and then do PPF.
Car Problems thank you!
in terms of car modifications, i always go to benny's original motor works
Blue seat 100% with yellow branding on head rest
Blue! Or since it's Italian... azzurro.
Do you put ppf on all/majority of your cars?
Historically I've always done front-end PPF on most of the sports cars I've had.
Are you on the ALFA 4C Forum? If not you should join as a LOT of good information and tips. I am RKBerta there....and am a Super Moderator.
Does anyone know if the radiator has a drain cock ?
"It's also very hot today so watch as I get sweatier and sweatier as this video goes on."
Anyone else just skip straight to the end to see if he was joking or not?
This car has a fiat seicento ac controls:)
Car is definitely seen in yellow on the coupe @joey_bespoke
So I can make it a good car as long as I spend the same amount as buying the car all over again 🙈😂
The wheels are the same as the old Alfa Romeo 155 DTM racecars
what was the cost of your ppf?
Generally if you go from the windshield forward...both fenders, bumper and hood, it will run around $2000 or less. That is the minimum amount I would go with. If you go the entire car figure about $5000+. And yes....PPF for any car as low and with so much forward facing body is the first thing I would get. Mine has saved mine several times from rock chips and scratches. It won't prevent everything of course but does a damn good job for 80% of the time. It is also self healing so a scuff will self cure when exposed to sunlight or a heat lamp.
i wish there was a bigger version of a 4c
That is what the car was designed to be....if you need a big car get a GT class car....but you loose the raw drivers car feel.
I still have a question: why don't you buy a bigger house/garage so you dont have to always change your Hurracan and your 4c
This may sound counterintuitive but should you tell your insurance company about these mods?
