This week I have spent a little time cleaning up the engine bay

From This



To This



I still have a little more to do, but I was getting sick of getting wet cycling to work each day.

Might have to sell this car now

Not going to try too hard tho..

Be a shame if you have to sell. I very much like the 156 GTA.

It could be yours for £4500

I am 19 and have just bought my first car, 04 Punto Sporting 1.4. If i was a bit older and insurance was more friendly, i would be very tempted.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for a more cost effective car to run. If you had a phase one xsara vts I would.

Well I was just going to say I hate french cars, but I have a renaultsport Clio, the 200 cup one too! Lol.

Looking very nice...

I have a 2.5v6 which is certainly not as clean as yours,mine gets used daily and has done for over 4 years now.Its actually been the most reliable car ive owned and even though it has some battlescars i have no plans to sell just yet even though ive threatened to a few times.....but the sound is just too good....

Only a few days left on eBay. Think I might shed a tear when this drives away

Don't sell! As said, my father had one, and everything since seems that little bit...plain. Dull. Boring, even.

I bet you will, lovely car.

It has to go. I am not a highly paid company director and cannot afford it any longer. I need to release the equity prior to my partner producing a sprog. I really wish I could keep it, more than anything.

[S10GTA]

Sold

Shame, what are you replacing it with ?

[S10GTA]

Something not as good

Sad to see it go, although you won't miss heartache like this:



That was the result of a failed auxiliary pulley, shredding the belt into 5 while overtaking a tractor, going uphill. The result of that was a sheared bolt going into an aluminium engine mount. Not a cheap fix. Bloody Alfas, they all break your heart!
