Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

I made some new central jacking points made for low spoiler cars. What better place to try this out. A second hand 29mm anti roll bar fitted on new polyurethane rubbers along with new superfex castor arm bushes. Roll bar mounting points had to be welded up as the SA factory kinda missed spot welding...

Two second hand Corbeau seats were sourced at the Mini workshop next door for a small fee.

Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

As luck would have it I located a second hand roll cage from CSR . It’s good enough for track days but can be upgraded at later stage if needed . Cage was sent in to be powder coated .

Re: Alfetta 1800 Track day project

The wheels are always an issue when you trying to find something within budget . Problem is there are very few suppliers a 4x 98 pcd and we wanted 16” as tyre availability is so much better than the 15” range . The only supplier who had an off the shelf wheel was Compomotive but the spigot would hav...

Re: Alfetta 1800 Track day project

Luckily I had a spare new set of Bilstein coil overs that were custom made for me in SA quite a few years ago so after checking them on shock dyno and checking curves are all still good this would be used . The torsion bars would remain so this would be an assisted system . A 350lbs spring (62kg) pl...

Re: Alfetta 1800 Track day project

Once the car was here in UK and all necessary custom work was done it could be taken to our rented lock up which sits on the neighbouring farm where Alex Jupe has his work shop. A few minutes up the road is CSR and Richard Melvin. As this is purely a hobby for Theo and myself most work is done on we...

Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

This will be an evolving project as already you probably see it’s only an 1800 from the tile and wondering why myself and Theo are putting so much effort in but not touching the motor …… yet. The plan was to find a really good rust free GTV in South Africa and bring it to the UK where both Theo and ...
