Ash's Italian V6

[Ash']

So after going back to another 182 which was fantastic, supplied by Steve on here I managed to get cold feet because of Daniels £5k thread on here. @gally posted a link to a lovely Alfa GT V6 and I was smitten.

After ringing the guy up seeing a few of his threads about the car on the Alfa owners forum I decided to leave him a deposit and sell the clio. It all happened quite quickly and last weekend I was on my way back from Wigan with a big smile on my face.

The car's spec is as follows;
- Finished in Stomboli Grigio paint with black leather.
- Genuine Alfa Q2 differential.
- BMC Carbon induction which sounds amazing on song.
- Ragazzon Stainless silenced mid exhaust section

I love the noise this car makes and combined with the gorgeous looks, excellent interior/finish and bose stereo it's a lot of car for the money. I've always fancied an Alfa and I'm far from disappointed with this one.

So far my plans are;
- Give it a service fluids and filters.
- New front discs and pads.
- Refurbish the front calipers and repaint the rears.
- I've looked into getting a Wizard exhaust which is a copy of a much more expensive unicorse exhaust through the alfa owners forum.

Other then that just enjoy it, not that it matters but i'm averaging 26mpg at the moment.

[_Tom]

I actually love this. When you come to sell it seriously let me know. i'd happily part with the QS for this.

 

[Dan...]

I must be too young to appreciate this. :dead:

 

[Stefan.]

Styling doesn't do it for me

But the engine and italian flare must be nice!

 

[Matt W]

Those wheels

 

[Scutch]

Looks in great condition that.

 

[Lal B3N]

Not my cup of tea but bet it sounds great! Interior looks nice too.

 

[mr bognor]

Think I saw this up for sale a few weeks back .. Very very nice.

Do want

 

[RDH]

I do like that. Where abouts in Wigan? I've never seen it around I don't think.

 

[Mork of Ork]

Love it, I'd have some variety of teledials on it personally though.

 

[Goodj]

I totally would. In the "special" alfa red, with the teledials

(even the diesel with a Q2...mmmmmmmmm)

 

[banther]

:clap:

 

[Alan]

Peach, always loved the GT.

 

[Ash']

Thanks for all the kind comments, it is a bit marmite with the looks but personally i love it.

I'd love to get a set of teledials off the blackline GT. A more fruity exhaust is required heres a video of the wizard exhaust;



The paint is quite hard to photograph it changes a lot in different lighting, it looks more like silver below but goes a nice deep gun metal grey in a lower light.

Best checking to see if you have a vagina.

Have a look through my set I took from today . Didn't have time to do any photoshopping mind.

 

[Ian_182]

That looks really nice.

Love the colour and the chairs.

 

[Eddie.]

Absolutely love these, great purchase.

 

[Dano']

I've been for a spin in this, It's comfy and sedate.. Til you hoof it and the road gets torn up in its wake!

So many torques

gorgeous all round and I'm not jealous at all, nope! Not one bit..... lol

Thanks mate! It does sound epic.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks very smart Ash, enjoy it mate

 

[Gally]

Oh f**k!

Just look at it. That Wizard exhaust must be special if you're thinking of changing the cracker you have!

Needs clean plates also. What a special car. That's a car people stop to appreciate, not the generic crap you see around.

Hero.

 

[Dave..]

Looks awesome, sounds awesome, has a proper engine with the right number of cylinders, but why front wheel drive?!

 

[Jason_E]

These s**t on anything french. Stunning, amazing noise too! Nice buy.

Thanks mate, it's the first car i've driven that i've had someone randomly ask about/compliment the car. New plates will be on soon and i'm thinking either that wizard exhaust or get a custom exhaust made up by prospeed in Cardiff which i've heard good stuff about.

Thanks Jas!

You're right it's such a shame its FWD, with its short chassis it would be a right laugh if it was RWD.

 

[_Tom]

Prospeed are awesome mate. They've done two exhausts for me now.
