Re: I've just bought a 156GTA and guess how much...
About the remap - thats fantastic news, saves you paying to get one done, we all know AutoDelta are good but they are expensive. In you not having to pay for loads of AutoDelta gear, it seems your cloud has had more than one silver lining

The only possible down-side to the remap is that it might have had a slightly harder life than usual. But then it looks to be enthusiast-owned so will probably have been maintained above and beyond the schedule. If there's no record of a clutch change it will probably need one in 10-20K depending on how hard you are with her. But then its not a massive job in the big scheme of things, and you may be pleased to know a certain someone (not me) is looking into getting a lightened flywheel and paddle-clutch kit made up for the Arese V6 engine'd Alfas..

Something else to make you think about getting your wallet out

I will keep on his case - Jammy bandit if he pulls it off! Was too tight to bid to the £5700 in the first place but looks like he has come up trumps.

I was very tempted to bid upto £6k and I dont even want the motor!

Well done OA, nice one, except those wheels look awful, the only right and proper thing to do is go a little south to mid wales and swap them for my cloverleaf's
