It's no slouch now ... It's rapid to be honest.

I just really want a GTR, among other cars but GTR is top of the wish list. Alfa was never going to be long term but it is a cracking car definately no negatives forcing the potential change

I didn't think it would be, but sounded like you were after silly power, which I would think the Alfa could deliver with a map.

If it's time for a change then it's time lol, has been nice to see something different anyway! Even after a few years out, I think I've maybe seen 2 or 3 qfs in person

Up to AI on Friday and by lunch time I had the following carried out.

Lowered on ST Springs (KW)
AHM Exhaust Control Valve Fitted
New Varta Battery thanks to @Woodcutter

Washed today and topped up with some quick detailer. Got to try out my new BLO unit from @Davey@Procar also, absolutely brilliant and well worth the extra for the bigger one.

Springs probably still have to settle a bit but the ride height at present is brilliant and still the same quality of ride.

All hands on deck now to get the new house finished for January so once my package from TMC Motorsport arrives that's the last of the parts for the Alfa.

Why the need for a new battery already?

My stock one dropped to 41% randomly and Alfa checked it and it was ok and they recharged. However it never filled me with confidence so got an uprated Varta one. More just a future proof thing rather than a necessity.

Looks great @ChrisL , springs make such a difference. Just watch the front splitter 😉, let me know how you go with the new battery, might stick one in mine.

Will do mate ...

I'm parking at least a foot out from kerbs ... Really don't want the bill to replace that front splitter :worried:

Its nearing the top of the tyres now they have settled more. However its not the type of car to be railed ... the suspension setup from standard is on another level for handling etc so didnt want to mess with it too much. Just close the gap slightly more leaving enough room for some spacing on the front.

@ChrisL how are you getting on with the mayvinci coating? Have you had any other coatings done before to compare it to? Also what wheel coating did you opt for?

Still doing its stuff but I've nothing to compare it to as it's my first coating. But I'm very impressed and makes cleaning the car a doddle.

Wheels and everything else bar the bodywork was gtechniq
