X100 users..
How do you find the x100 for moving/action shots? I'm struggling as it seems slow/delayed for this type of photography.. Or is it just me?
It's pretty much brilliant at everything else.
Thanks.
Agree Ph1 Tom!
TomSx - cheers, they were rubbed down & keyed, cleaned then dried. 3 layers of grey primer, 3 layers of gloss black & 3 layers of laqer. Job done!
Lol gutted guys. Personally I don't think they look too bad, maybe I haven't captured them well with the camera. Il prob run with them for a couple weeks once I have the stance sorted out then probably change the colour.
here is another pic from a distance.

Thanks for the comments guy. Performance wise it's on par with the likes of the R32/ST/R26 etc.
Well here is how the GTA stands to date..
Ragazzon back box fitted, sounds great but too restricted & muffled for my liking so at some point I'm ordering the Ragazzon centre pipe (with silencer) to...
Unfortunately wheels will be staying as I forked out for good tyres.. I think they have potential to look pretty damn cool with the correct colour, stance etc which is all to come..
Cheers guys. Yup it full of character over the mk4 R32. Certainly feels a special car anyway - can't get enough...
Well today I detailed the interior and replaced the rear wiper blade as it was shot. Interior leather was cleaned and treated, as were the plastics and carpets. Glass was also cleaned & a new smelly tree added too! A much nicer place to be in now.

Almost a week in and car is still alive! I had some fresh tyres (PS3's) fitted on the front this week, defiantly didn't want to skimp on tyres for this! And I'm very impressed with the PS3's - never had these before. I chose these as from what iv read on the Alfa forum, these tyres suit the GTA...
Nice! Exactly what I want too, only want noise when foot is planted. Fire me his number over and il have a chat with him.
Like with all my new cars I'm getting it checked over with a list of suspect things to look at (radiator added lol).
Yea I didn't post a pic of engine bay as il be doing before and after pics this weekend as its in need of a proper detail which il be doing this weekend!
good idea Ben, were they at?
I'm debating what to do with the wheels.. I want to try and make the most of the OEM wheels, I.e Refurb either...
Yea I looked at the white one but it doesn't have the Q2 and isn't FSH which put me right off. This one I bought is fully documented to back everything up, only 65k on the clock too.
fingers crossed its a smooth & enjoyable ownership!
Cheers guys. Yea the colour wasn't my first choice but the price/spec won me over.
Reliability issue is blown way out of proportion IMO. I can't see it being much worse than the Clio's as they arnt the most reliable.. But I guess only time will tell as it's our daily hack!
And yes, it...
Well here is the 182's replacement! The 3.2 V6 Alfa Romeo 147 GTA!

It benefits from the Q2 diff already and has a few nice options like xenon's, heated seats, dual...
