I just wanted to share with you guys that I´m buying a Fiat Tipo 1.8 Sedicivalvole. (137 CV as my family´s 33 Q4). Does enyone knows about this car, I know is not comparable to the 33, but I´d like to hear what do you think about it.

I did exactly the same thing, and lived to regret it!
I sold my 1991 33 1.7 16v S (137bhp) and bought a 1992 Tipo 2.0 16v sedicivalvole (148bhp)
It was a good car, slightly more room inside than a 33 but the engine was very different to drive than the 33, (less revvy, more torque) the engines develop oil leaks often, there is less driving pleasure, the handling is not so good as you are in a higher driving position, the insurance is more expensive. The seating also gave me back problems as suspension and seating is hard, and there is not much room between seat cushion and the roof. (I am 1.83m tall)
I never had any back trouble when driving my 33s!
5 months later (and 8 visits to the physiotherapist) my back is nearly better - I don't intend to 'bad mouth' the sedicivalvole as the next owner was very pleased when I gave hin the keys, but I will be driving my very soft peugeot 406 for a year or so before I look for another 33. (I'll be looking for the newest 8v 33 that is available here in the UK)
