I've always had a soft spot for those, however when we had the Volvo driving day through Kings back in 2006 I found that model had really bad scuttle shake etc :(

Yeah that did happen on mine too, got it all sorted under warrenty after arguing with my local dealer :)

Thank you, its what attracted me to this particular C70, well worth the 100 mile drive to get it. Also has the premium sound system, which is very loud and very bassy :D
 
Change of location for job means a round trip of 165 miles a day so the MG TF was taking a bit of a battering... Time for a diesel so picked up a 2004 156 2.4 JTD 20 valver last week. So good to be back into an Alfa, much more fun than the 330d I had before the MG! A bit too low though, any speed "cushions" have to be negotiated at < 10 mph or it'll scrape. Seeing as it's an aluminium sump I definitely don't want to go bashing it either!

Looking into a stiffer shock setup to help with the grounding, also a sports exhaust. Would be nice to lower but not practical, might fit stiffer shocks to help with grounding anyway. A remap would be nice and an upgraded clutch to cope isn't too expensive, but doing 40k a year I may just leave it at stock :)
 
Picking my ST170 up on Thursday, its my first 2ltr car, and also the most expensive car i have ever purchased.

Its got 33k on the clock and is in mint-condition :D

Cannot wait, hoping for lots of trouble free motoring and also some fun along the way ;)
 
It's actually a 1.8 zetec working its way up to st170 spec (needs cams and manifold) :D fun to drive though :) .

Dos and donts hmmmmmmmmm... Don't put Diesel in it :D . Seriously these are good motors! As long as you keep it serviced regular it'll be fine :) .

If you need any help get yourself on to ffoc.co.uk .

Enjoy it mate!
