Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

MD, the uk plate’s absolutely deface the car . Nothing we can do . I guess it’s so they can get you on laser from 800yards away .
We could get them stuck on the nose panel . Maybe that’s an option.
This car is fun but a long way from its final engine modification or should I say swap .

Z I’m not sure but it’s in the previous owners build which I will dig up.

Some good quality seat belts fitted. For MOT purposes even though not needed on this age car we fitted Race Safety Accessories Seat Runner Kit with light weight Alloy Seat Side Mounts.

Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

Theo and I got a few hours in to fit the rear seat belt bar, seat belts and seats. As the Safety Devices roll cage is a basic it dose not have any seat belt bars. Following the MSA rules on seat belt angles the shoulder belts must be with 15 degrees of shoulder strap holes in seats. Good thing the G...

Re: Project 2 : front mount SA GTV 3.0 - Sei diff

I have been trying to tidy up the exposed wiring in the cabin side side especially around consul and fuse box so I have laser cut some cover plates .

Re: Alfetta GTV 1800 Track day project

Generally we are not allowed any caps when on the track incase they come off and also all wheel nuts have to be visible. Always good to show your nuts off MD !!! . I do have some centre caps with an Alfa badge but yes needs to be finished . Another weekend and fluids, plug service will be good to go .

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...

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...
