Is the vibration a pulsing through the pedal? If so, your discs are warped. Depending on how bad they are they might be able to be skimmed to fix it, but if it's that bad you may need new ones.
Regarding the poor braking, can I assume you changed the brake fluid and bled the system, and checked the condition of the pads and discs?

1-2 years max can be a long time in Alfa-buying hell, I wouldn't rush into buying one of these. If you need a car quickly, buy a 10 year old toyota or something. It won't break down or lose value, while you wait for a good Alfa.
Where is the car located?
Again, sounds like it could be a bargain, or a piece of Project Car Hell!!
I'd go for it, but then again I am an idiot, look at what I own.
Good luck buddy, any pics that went with the ad?

Slicks! Got a cage in that bad boy? I could be wrong, but I believe that if you're running slicks with no cage the scrutineers or clerk-of-course can choose to not let you run.
What size wheels you running?

There'll be a link on the front page of the website, under 'downloads'. Sorry don't know what a 'wakefield' licence is? Need a Cams 2S licence, you can get it on the day, and you need to be a member of any affiliated car club.
Come on down bro, 2nd best track in the country!

Sorry, forgot to say. If you come to the Island you could try and beat our resident 'old farts', Allan Goodall and Robin Doherty. Allan only has 250bhp in his 75 (from what I've heard), and Robin has 190 bhp in his 90, and both are over 50 (in fact Robin is retired). They'll be no trouble to beat around the Island, surely?

Showing your age Marco. It's "sic".
I get the feeling its a bit old fart around here. Just the way we like it bro, keeps out the tools. Once you've seen one HID or stereo install, you've seen them all. Mate, that sounds like a serious piece of machinery you've got there. Phillip Island is in two weeks, you won't regret it (unless you stack it of course).

Yeah, tricky one. It's pretty cheap for one of these, and while it seems like a good deal, I'd be suspicious that he agreed to come down over 3k on the price. How long did it take him to agree to that?
A/c never blows cold air on these from all I've heard.
Selespeeds are always a bit slow on the upchange.
For the price it would be worth getting it inspected (by a marque specialist), you may just get a bargain. But Simon's right. There'll always be another one, and a bad one is very bad.
You say you didn't check under the bonnet. Are you sure you want an Alfa? Just teasing mate. Always good to look under the bonnet, even if you know nothing about it, it's a good way to tell how well the car's been looked after.
Good luck with it.

Looks like a quick car. Nice work on the conversion, looks tidy.
Maybe you should come and join us at a track day to see just how fast it is. That way you won't have to speed on the street.
