Ruining the car. I guess I'll post photo updates here.

She's still up in the air as my OCD goes over all the suspension.

Made an unnecessary adapter plate to mount a US plate haha.

Up to something 🤔

Good stuff going on for sure...I am in the same boat as you and others. First vintage alfa owner with a fresh suspension upgrade. So fun to drive!!

That was a great video, I remember seeing the car on BaT too.

Yeah so basically my car will be very similar to this. Differences are we’re using weber 45s and a custom distributor. Also I have black interior

This one is basically my poster-child Super...

I will have some changes of my own also, and nowhere near that level of build, but it gives me some direction towards my own vision.

Cant wait to see what it looks like when it all comes together.

 

[nikkosalgado]

A little teaser of the motor. Gonna be a riot. I can’t wait to finish the build this year

 

[nikkosalgado]

Another update. We're deep in the hole on this one lol. No turning back. Might as well go all out.

 

[2mAn]

This quickly turned into a $50k project LOL

 

[Vivace]

An air intake headlamp?

 

[lenul]

Very, very nice project, congrats ! can we have some details about the engine ?

hahaha at 61 as of now. after everything installed and buttoned up, maybe 67ish? Not bad for having 80% of an Alfaholics GTA-R for 25% of the price 🤷‍♂️idk

I just dont want to wait 20 years to do a dream build ya know? Lifes too short. Now I need to find a money tree 😂.

An air intake headlamp?

I will be modifying a velocity stack behind the inner mesh hole, not the outer headlight, even though its a perfect fit lol.

Very, very nice project, congrats ! can we have some details about the engine ?

thank you for the kind words! final numbers are 184.4hp/165.7lb-ft

heres the numbers from the dyno day

 

[lenul]

It seems to be very torqy ! If I can give you an advise at the point where you are, put in place this kit for front suspension : Alfaholics Trackday/Race Front Suspension Geometry Pack

It's a very impressive upgrade, better feeling and stability

Honest question, when doing a high power build like this with a TSpark. Why did you choose DCOE45s over an ITB setup? From an economics point of view, ITB fuel injection is not that much more expensive than good, well set up DCOEs.

I know there is no "right" answer to this.....DCOEs are fantastic - tried and true, they sound great, etc. "Analog". I totally get it. I'm honestly curious. If I were ever to through a huge pile of money at an engine build, I'd be hard pressed to make the decision of which way to go.

The build looks amazing. Keep us posted!
