Dedicated track car?

Looks like new rails are inside the originals to me.Mats wrote:Or is it going inside the original rail? Why is the sump lower surface so different in height to what I'm used to see?
Original rail was opened and square tube shoved in, rest is standard, strange look is from the foto angle.Mats wrote:Sits below the original ones? Or is the engine raised in the pictures? Control arm fixing points lowered?

Yes, best would be a square tube for the horizontal, but Fia doesn't allow square.Zamani wrote:Maurizio,For a race car do you recommend putting reinforcement bars inside the fenders as you described earlier (except for the "yellow" brace in your drawing).

how much shorter than the 75 is the sz,like gtv6 shorter?Duk wrote:Very interesting considering every thing I'd been able to find on the SZ says that they were built on a shortened standard 75 chassis.
Since you asked, I had a quick web search and found this http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/ ... dimensions, but it's the same wheel base dimentions as the pic. Strange as I'd read more than once that they were shorter http://www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/alfa_sz.shtml:darryl longley wrote:how much shorter than the 75 is the sz,like gtv6 shorter?
An sz runs 7x16 et 7 in front and 8x16 et 20 wheels in the back.Duk wrote:SZ Track: front 1464 mm rear 1426 mm
75 Track: front 1396 mm rear 1382 mm
Is the difference in track purely from wheel offset?
68mm more track width would make noticable differance to the behaviour of the front. But a 34mm change to the wheel offset would have a pretty major effect on the scrub radius of the steering.
They quote a lot of different tracks in the workshop manuals due to the wheels, so yes, I'd say the wheels.Duk wrote:SZ Track: front 1464 mm rear 1426 mm
