Q2 going to be fitted in the next couple of weeks, the lack of it is impeding forward motion.

Last week saw the tuning done (spins wheels in 1st, 2nd & 3rd now!) new tyres all round and a full geometry check and adjustment on a Hunter machine. Quite a difference after a few adjustments, the car no longer tramlines and feels a lot more chuckable. 40+mpg was different for a month, I'm now expecting closer to 30 as the car becomes more enjoyable to drive:

Looking good MAF .... Everythime I see one I'm so tempted with a 3.2 ..... Love the way you sit low in the car with the high waist line.

[GransportFan1]

You want a 156 GTA, and I know of a good one that needs to go to make way for a Maser ;-)

It looks lovely ... I am currently torn between GTV, 3.2 GT and 156 GTA ...... What year and mileage fo you have on yours Dougie ... It looks very clean inside and out. Doesn't look like it has many stone chips on the front either.

2003 03 reg, 18k on the clock but new speedo at 73k therefore total of 91k miles. I have had some paint done to keep it fresh - well looked after example with good service history.

More info available if interested - dwinkley@supanet.com

Yep very nice Dougie, a 156 GTA as my first car, great, then think of the insurance, lovely engine, nice to see the ports are still shiny.

 

[dem maser]

dougie get a mileage reader round to put it right...i did on my seat as it went **** up so never wanted to explain to people it had new dash fitted so just corrected the miles....ive still got the car but just incase i do sell it its ready

 

[DougieV8]

I like to keep it honest - I have a full print out showing speedo, cambelt, tensioners etc, etc. replaced 18k miles ago so all documented.

Looks good with 18k miles on the speedo also

Dougie is that a standard exhaust ... Looks shiny ... Do like shiny pipes ...
