I have bought an ex UK ARCA & Auto-Italia Championship Production Class winning car, previously owned & raced by Roger Donnan.
The Spec of the Alfa is as follows:
1. Car originally built by Colin Flanagan and “Auto Point”
2. Auto-Italia Production Spec engine circa 115 Bhp when last rolling road tested about 3-4 years ago
3. Flat Head 1500cc engine, Dished Pistons
4. Balanced bottom end
5. Bottom end virtually new – new pistons, bores and rings from Bianco
6. Bianco Head. Ported and jetted within the production spec regulations
7. Chassis and shell seam welded. Welded in multi-point roll cage
8. Rear geometry adjusted to stop understeer – set up by “Auto Point”
9. Reinforced front sub frame
10. Stiffened up rear gearbox mounting
11. 1200cc Alfa Sud gear box (closest ratios of the Alfa sud range, I think)
12. Spare 1300cc Alfa Sud gear box
13. Fuel tank is half size at approx 25 litres (to allow the bespoke exhaust to be fitted).
The car is VERY scruffy, having had a couple of shunts in my last few races (not my fault!!) but it handles VERY well. However, it could do with a bit more power. I now run it in the up to 1600cc class of the Classics Sports Car Club's "Tin Tops" mini enduro series - any suggestions of how I can improve power out put relatively cheaply? The regs are very free but the £ are not!
