Hello everybody! As some of you may know, i bought my beautiful bella back in Summer 2015. From then till today, i had a lot of failures, bad moments, swears, pocket bleeding etc etc.. But also had some unique moments & unforgettable pictures to remember! So from October 2016 till today (and for some time more), i set a goal: To restore my bella (Black beastie) in almost mind condition. And i say ''almost'' because she is and will continue to be my daily commuter. Covered around 50.000kms till October 2016, whatever was to break, broke! So, thats a good basis to start with. Before that, some history: My bella rolled out of factory in 1996 as a 2.0 v6 tb ph1 Lusso trim (i think) 916 GTV. 1st owner used her for some years and then sold her. 2nd owner decided to do so massive modifications to her! So, he bought a complete GTV 3.0 v6 24v Edizione Sportiva from Belgium (i think) and transplanted almost everything to her. So its safe to say that she is a complete edizione sportiva, but the electrics.... He didnt transfer the body looms, rather than modified to fit the sportivas' ones. Anyway, this is a nightmare that i' ll deal with in the end. After that, he sold her. The 3rd owner, must be a pretty bad guy that completely ruined her. He crashed her (and badly restored), never serviced, always street-fighting with other cars, dual-mass shot, engine mounts shot, all interior completely destroyed due to ICE mods, etc etc etc.... Then i bought her. Even in that disastrous state, she charmed me..! So, a new adventure began! This is just an introductory post. Most of servicing, restoring, TLC are already done. Many friends on FB requested yet to make a post here, with more photos and descriptions etc etc. So for the sake of better understanding, i will post frequently (around 3 -5 days) updates on my bellla, as if i do them now. Tomorrow, i ll make the 1st post, regarding complete restoration of the engine. Let's have fun! Ps: Photo of me and my bella, proud in the 1st day!!

Hi Paul, nice looking car, ! been thinking about a re-map myself but honestly mine goes so well I am not sure what gains are to be had...re the 330mm upgrade I wouldn't put it in front of the quaife and alfaholics kit, those two for me are first in line, in that order I would even put the SMF before the 330mm upgrade as it really does add to the reviness of the engine ... I forgot to mention I also have braided hoses all round and race fluid, that along with the ferodo DS2500 pads has been enough to make the best of the 315mm Brembo's on there. My only real issue is cold performance, however once there is some heat in them they are really rather good...!
