I asked also from Spesso, but they claimed that they have only standard gaskets? Are those any better than originals?

Piston plans have been on hold for a while, but now there is at least several good options to choose from.

What about the head gaskets? Who else makes performance or race gaskets fot TS than Gozolli and Navalinea? Unfortunately Elring doesn't make for Alfa.

Yup, that's true in other hand, but.. price/quality is not a constant (that's how I see it :wink: ) and choice of quality must been done having real needs and budget in mind. All suggestions and ideas are more than welcome when trying to figure out which way to go. I'm just asking your opinion.. So ...

Starting new weight loosing topic would be good idea. But what comes to TS-engines, what pistons would you recommend? Who have the best quality/price ratio? CPS's are light (piston for Megane with same bore is 320g) and they looks good. Price I got for a set was 795€, including 22% vat and shipping....

Thanks for interesting picture. That gives some new ideas how to do the modification :) Maybe the solution is going to be something like Mickes adapter in the picture, but somewhat higher to allow a-arm move more upwards. Maybe make also several pairs of holes to test which really works on track. Du...

Sorry for my unclear explanation :roll: So, any stiffness on torsion bars is ok, but the coil springs over the damper must always be less stiff than those torsion bars used simultaneously. Dimensions of torsion bars are free, so they also can be shorter than original, not only larger in diameter. Th...

Type and material of main springs must remain as original, otherwise they are free. Additional coil-over springs are allowed when their spring rate is less than main springs. I read rules like that the original type rule is fullfilled when using torsion springs which are made of steel, even if they ...

Hmm, do you mean bending it just a bit to allow the a-arm to move some amount or really radical bending to get past of the steering rack? It would be nice to see some pics about that. That radical one didn't even got in my mind before this. 8) We have both, coilovers and torsion bars due to the rule...

Hello, I haven't been writing here for a while, actually this is the first time on the new forum for me. So some of you might recall that I was project going on preparing 75 TS for endurance. Rules force us to use original headers, injection systems and so on.. We drove our first two races at this y...
