The Odyssey (Phase 1 172) - By Coops

Oh and sorry..... Cough .. Clears throat..... SEND IT

Heading towards 170k now, got a clunk from the front so need to investigate that but overall it's just trooping along. Haven't returned it to standard, but still thinking about it at least suspension side, or maybe raise the bilstein up more, just as I'm getting old and bouncing about is a pain... Although plus side it makes the missus boobies jiggle about lovely now it's summer vest top season.

Also bought a newer style alpine stereo from @Gus so I can use the phone more easily and drag it a bit closer to 2024

I'll do a better update with pics sometime soon, cars on daily duties all next week whilst Alfa is at the detailers for winter prep so I'll have more then

171k, just been using it tbh, thought I had fixed the clunk with a dodgy ball joint, hadn't, then realised pinch bolt wasn't shouldered so swapped to correct bolt and thought fixed it again.... Still there occasionally but feels maybe more top mount or spring related so may take the suspension apart at some point and see what's going on.

Still fully tempted to go back to stock stuff too and make it a more comfy B road blaster so that may happen over the winter. We'll see

I'm still just sort of enjoying just using it and not worrying too much.

Alpine stereo is in as well which is decent for the longer journeys as can Spotify it up for the podcasts, dreamy
