Re: What up
Switched from a 156 Selespeed to a 147GTA. But often complained that parts are too short in supply - both stock and mods. Too reliant on Sportivo. Then again you have AutoDelta that is 300 plus km away......
Nah, just my colleague who's an Alfa freak.147GTA said:

Re: What up
What is his ID in the AROC forum? I guess he's not very active with AROC or else I'd know him.
But what stock parts would he need? EuroAuto should get/already have anything he might need. And for aftermarket parts, there's not a whole lot that can be done to that car without spending a grip. Nothing much besides dampers/springs, brakes, exhaust, chip, intake and cams. Did he get the new Selespeed GTA with the huge brakes? Or is it a 6-speed?

Re: What up
I was going to debadge mine for a cleaner look but I decided not to...not enough guts. haha. But it's pretty easy to recognize a GTA nevertheless...the wheel arches stick out more than a normal 147, in addition to having a different kit (although very rare any 147 could have a GTA-like kit). The most coveted thing about the GTA is its rims, which many people buy for their non-GTAs. In fact I don't know of any GTA that has non-GTA rims except for 18-inch replicas (which of course are the same design).

Re: What up
A friend of mine used to drive a M3 Carbio E36....he debage it to a 320i...cos everytime he gets that kinda stare from boy racers or in US of A you guys prob call them Rice Boys.
Your ride you are happy with it is enough. Who cares what the guy in the next car thinks about my ride. To me my car is my Rolls Royce, Ferrari and Lambogini all rolled into one.

Re: What up
Stock rotor for 147 GTA is 305mm. He upgraded to 330mm. With braided hoses. Stock calipers (front) is 4-pot OEM Brembo. He did not change that. Damn, he was telling me about few GTAs upgrading to ceramic pads & ROTORS (one grande each). According to him, good grip but the squeak is irritating.TripleM said:

Re: What up
Yeah, that's right, 305mm. But the new GTAs, the Selespeeds have bigger rotors and much bigger calipers.
Also, I think there are more than 2 Selespeeds, there should be a lot more coming. Same for the 156s.
I know of a few GTAs with ceramic rotors. Yes, they will stop your car, but they wear out quickly, are very expensive, noisy, and you better have upgraded to some nice hard dampers or coilovers as the stocks will make your car dive too much with those ceramics. Overall, it's not worth it. Most GTA owners just go for Tarox rotors. Cheap and they don't mess with the rest of the car.
