156 GTA

Re: What to change/upgrade around 48k

Yup its not very much savings in terms of doing them both together, unless you are replacing the gearbox itself or something of course.

While powerful the 2.5v6 didn't have all that much torque though, but I wouldn't be suprised if folks got a suprisingly long time out of the standard diff - 90k would be unlikely though I suspect!

Since you like the current dampers a Q2 probably should be top of your list (you obviously drive on better roads than I do! ).

Personally I would also recommend an adjustable whiteline rear anti-roll bar, but perhaps its not strictly needed for the road, makes a huuuge difference for the odd track day though and makes the car feel very alive on the road.

Have you tried the pagid pads on the GTA yet James?

I'm not a doctor - but I really do recommend braking later
