147 Selespeed

2001(147 selespeed project)

I am thinking about ugrading the 147.I want to get more power and speed but also ran as an everyday car.I wont be racing but i would like to improve car.There is a garage in South Africa that is said to be very good, with Alfa modification.::Glenridge Motors:: - Raceing

Miliage is at 143000 km.I will sell one of my cars to finance the project.I was going to sell the Alfa but, the love is still there.The car to be sold is too basic.I am waiting for a response from glenwood motors.

A week and a half ago my Alfa failed on a very important trip.I think its the pump but we'll know soon enough.

With all this said, i am not sure if i can get the best out of a selespeed, being that its almost seven years old and it being a selespeed i might have to spend more money fixing it up.I have already replaced the actuator.I had it remapped last april.

What advise can i get from the team?
