Hard to say exactly as I have misplaced the original reciept for parts
I bought the bits with the intention of doing the work with my stepdad but he has more important things going on in his life at the mo, rang a few people locally but ended up going to Adie @
AHMotorsports, really helpful guy answered my dumb questions without laughing too hard
It was pretty clear that most of my local garages don't do that sort of work and charge you for box removal, sending to someone else who might know and then refit etc.
parts + fitting +VAT was approx £750
Hard to give an opinion on it at the mo, traffic was heavy and after driving about in his 1.2 8v Punto loaner the GT felt like a diesel ferrari
, popped my foot down out of a junction and was speechless at the way it shifted, my advice to anyone if you get a touch usedto/bored of your motor drive a slow city car for a few days you'll have a new appreciation when you get back in your Alfa, even a diesel one.
I did try a quick start and also planted it in a corner with ASR off, no drama, with the road as damp as it was I would get front end hop and wheelspin with that sort of attack on a standing start but didn't get much at all, so very promising, there was a small shade of understeer going in hot into the corner and then it just cut in nice, course I have new tyres on at the mo too so could be that too
, with more time on roads I have driven daily for years should show me whats what
