My GTA

[GTA]

Here are the pics some of you requested.

My last one...

 

[_Tom]

Whats going on with that exhaust? lol

 

[Craigus]

Nice, prefer the red one. Have always had a soft spot for these.

What's going on with the exhaust?

What do you mean?

 

[Philip.]

Love it, except for the exhaust, looks a bit funny.

 

[Gally]

Lovely. Proper sound.

That plate must be worth a few bob.

Love it, except for the exhaust, looks a bit funny.

When I took those pics the hanger had come of the right hand side so it was a bit low. It's adjusted back up now...

I also have to spray the backbox black as the GTA's have see through rear bumpers as you can see.

I got the plate with the car. I'm not really one for plates, but it's growing on me.. it's spaced a bit wrong though so I'm not sure if I will have trouble with the police.

 

[Philip.]

That'll look better yes. It sticks out quit e a bit too in my opinion.

 

[Matthew]

Mint. Wish I had the balls to own one....

 

[Will.]

Don't like the front of them tbh. Everything else looks nice.

 

[Matt W]

Like it!

(Except for the exhaust and illegal plate)

Cool cars, guy I work with used to have one, sounded fantastic and went well.

Gearbox kept going wrong though.

 

[GTA]

I have a Q2 limited slip diff fitted so my gearbox is pretty solid.

Old exhaust backbox rusts very quickly and I had to get a new one, it was this between the aftermarket ragazzon (cat back silenced) or the stock, and this one sounds little bit better.

Old exhaust on my last one doesnt stick out as far.

I really like the front on them

 

[montana]

nice car! love the GTAs

 

[JD]

Lovely colour, or at least it would/will be after a decent polish. Do love these cars, just wouldn't go near them after the 3.2 Brera a friend has. Let him down more times in the first 2 years (brand new) than my Clio ever did! And that's saying something!!

I love these but the running costs scare me. How long do tires last at the front and waht MPG can you really achieve? 21-21MPG?

I'd like the rec car wheels with the grey car.:rasp:

 

[BREMBO]

Nice! sure I seen this on PH forum

Me too but when the car was written off the specialist also wanted the wheels. Took me 6 months to get a new car and the ride is much better on the 17's than the 18's...

Front tyres totally dependant on brands etc etc, they will do 15,000 if you are gentle, or 8,000 if you are a little spirited You need good tyres to get the power down, I've just put a set of Michelin PS3's on the front.. Front brakes are excellent, but the pre 2004 cars came with 305mm Brembo brakes which are prone to warping, (the red ones had these), the grey one has 330mm Brembos.

The colour of the grey one is really weird, looks blue in some lights and grey in others.. It's a funny metallic. I had 4 red alfas before this one (plus this one was offered at a price I couldn't refuse.

MPG, well cruising at 70 on the motorway you can get 30MPG, around town it's shockingly bad... haha... like about 15MPG.

The engines are pretty bullet proof if you do your cambelt changes. Suspension is made out of chocolate so you need to change something every 15,000 miles or so. Normally the top and bottom wishbones, and the ARB's or drop links.

Next on the list of to dos is coilovers and eibach ARB's...

I'm pretty sure I've seen your V6 a couple of times around Edinburgh (leith walk specifically) unfortunately you aren't ever in it!

 

[DanielJames]

Nice car, love alfas

 

[James28]

Lovely cars

 

[leeds_182]

Awesome machines. I wish petrol was cheap.

 

[Scrooge]

I love these so much.

 

[mr. ski]

Got a real soft spot for the GTA, i used to have a 147, loved it!!

 

[ant_r27]

Red one is lovely.

Are these twin exhausts as standard? As they're two GTAs that live near me and both have quad exhausts. Is that a common upgrade?

twin exhausts are standard, i think its auto delta that do the quad exhausts. personally i much prefer the standard, much more subtle.

 

[nicknick]

Oh. My. God.

 

[Englebert]

That Kreisieg one is so awesome, it hurts.

Love the car but afraid not a fan of the exhaust (sticks out too much) or the plate.

 

[daydotz]

Love it

 

[jamier27]

Boom

cant beat the wee renault sports for fun/running costs tho

 

[Gally]

They will never look like that though.

Wow.

Alfas command respect. Even if it's due to the owners mental instability!
