New here as is everyone else, but thought I would tell everyone who wants to know about my rather highly modded 147GTA.
I brought her in September 2011, I had always wanted a GTA of some kind since owning my 1st Alfa when I passed my driving test. So when I finally saved enough money I went shopping for one, took me months and months to find one though.
This is what she looked like after her 1st wash after I got her
She came with a wizard exhaust system too, which was a bonus as I was going to buy one anyway
I said to myself no more mods to her, which didn't last long tbh
The 1st things I did were to upgrade the braking, I had fitted Performance Friction pads, braided hoses all round and ATE super blue brake fluid, this made a great upgrade and was rather chuffed with it
I then added a Quaife diff to the GTA, mainly to save the original diff going bang and costing me ££££ to fix. This totally transformed the car, made her much more nicer to drive, able to get the power down without an issue, love the feeling of the diff pulling you round the corner but you have to be careful as it can make the back end much more prone to stepping out
Had her on a rolling road where she made a good 257bhp with no mapping.
I then used her in this spec for winter while I gathered yet more parts to have fitted. (in the back ground, notice my modded Fiat Cinq Sporting)
One night down Ace Cafe next to my Cinq.
Come round to March, I took her to my specilist in Aylesbury (AforAlfa) who fitted the following parts for me
Photo's from that day and finally meeting who has turned out to be a very good friend and fellow GTA owner.
