Spider is based on the 105 chassis if I'm not mistaken, less room in engine bay (from memory), i would personally go with a worked 1750, as the 105 chassis has a live rear axle that's lighter than the trans and didion tube, weight distribution would be off. But You know what, it'd be cool, so maybe just give it a go and see what happens, might waste some time though. maybe alfaholicsis a good place to ask

@rodrigost.3324 no worries, I think there's a small mistake in it somewhere which I haven't got around to fixing

Needed ripping engine sounds though

Will read your message properly later, but am getting engine fully professional rebuilt and installed. Not sure if I should rebuild transaxle cos it's a big expense.

Only work on the gearbox ìf it fails. Gtv6 only eats brake pads and propshaft couplings. 1 centre carrier bearing after 60,000 miles. I did rings once since 80s and left the engine in place. Removed sleeves upwards after properly draining, cleaning and vacuming from above. Replaced o-rings under sleeves and by using a narrow ring squeezer put the sleeves back. Don't hone too much. As I said the bottom is over designed. Whenever a job is done on the car do a oil change. Fun car to own as a daily drive. Would have been much nicer with power steering and a booster in the hydraulic clutch line though for traffic congestion and parking.

@grantalexandergiliomee2777 I'll likely install power steering from a 75 though they're getting hard to find. Do you have any experience with changes in roll centre to improve handing? Is it worth it for track use but also good on the road?

Don't lower the front much even dont. Very little. From years since late eighties the car is much more fun being able to punch it around without scratching on every speed bump. Best tires were 195/65/15 Bridgestone but not available anymore. Fitted the arches perfectly. I built a cobra chassis so I understand roll-centre. Koni adjustable or Bilstien shocks are a better investment. The latter I fitted has a lifetime manufacturers warranty. Feels like driving on Nike Sneakers. I used to burn out, slide and whatever I could. I was very careful with my 1st gtv6 and totalled it under the back of a 18 wheeler ( those days their tail lights used to fail) around 60mph tired late at night returning home. I only salvaged the engine @ 87.000 km which is still in my garage. The 2nd I hammered every day of its existence. It's buggered today after being in JHB central in traffic. Im busy fixing the heads and gearbox . 3pc Compomotive split rims make the car if you can find any FH ( mine) or CX in any condition. Email me if you want pics, tech info from Alfa documentation etc. Be brave and go electric on the power steering. The rack ball joints only have to be the same length not to get bump steer. If the f/lower a suspension sqeaks replace the nylon bushes inside but requires torsion bar disassembly. Ball peen mark all 4 to spline position before stripping. Flybraai@gmail.com #Flybraai youtube A common failure is the dual relay for the petrol pump ( diode inside) and impact switch internal ball bearing gets rusted.

@grantalexandergiliomee2777 no need to keep answering just digging for info cos want the best bang for buck. I don't assume youre all knowing lol. Any idea on the best investment to get the best possible handling within reason? Assuming maximum handling within reason. Bilsteen shocks better investment than roll centre change tick, don't lower front too much tick. Lighter 15 inch wheels better than 16 inch with lower profile, or doesnt matter too much? 7inch wide wheels I assume is fine. Why not 205 tyres rather than 195 or not much difference really? Bigger ARBs on rear to reduce understeer, or bigger ARBs front and rear? Poly bushes? Front coilover conversion worth it? Chassis stiffening worth pursing, assuming I don't want to ruin the resale, I.e strut bars or bolt in half cage, then bucket seat and harness worth it? I am going to hammer this thing so don't want to die. Remove heavy front/rear bumper to lower polar moment of inertia, or ridiculous concept for the amount of effort and diminshing returns. I just want minimal understeer. Best to just focus money on drivetrain? As it's a street car too, is shockers enough to get all the low hanging fruit and everything else just overkill? Thinking future progression aswell though if I want more performance. Thanks.

That'd have been easier but I wanted to keep the car rolling so I just did it this way

Yeah I've always loved white since the first time I saw one.

Not sure but it is possibly a similar story. All I know for certain is that on power lock pulls you through the corner and makes a huge difference.

Yeah there's no gear change animation which is a shame. I was changing gears with a stick shift when I made the video.

1983

@@nooch86 thanks mate. So did these came with a 3.0 engine stock from factory back then in 1983?

@@universalcitizen7544 they originally came with a 2.5lt v6 busso, but a common upgrade is dropping in a 3lt v6 busso. Seeing as they are very similar engines in the same family, doing this modification doesn't drop the value and the car is still considered fairly original.

rF2 for me has always had the best connection with the car and the best physics/tire model. Especially with a direct drive wheel the feel great.

Wow that's pretty fast!

I ended up buying a house instead of spending money restoring the car. I had planned to do some work on it but then I got injured and it's taken a long time to recover. I have plans for it but just need to get a bit better then find the motivation again.

Thanks mate!

Thanks dude really appreciate that comment!

Correct sir.

Quad is base content. Reliant Robin you can find in the steam workshop. Just search Robin and it should come up. It's quite fun to drive yes.

Thank you very much for your quick feedback. On the other hand, I have never seen the quad in the basic mods.@@nooch86

@@andreb7829 It's called "Interceptor". Either way it's in the steam workshop. It's actually quite hard to drive.

I tested Robin's mod and I admit that I find it really bad, from the moment you start this 3-wheeled car, the movements are always identical... Thanks again for the quick answers@@nooch86

It used to be in the infield of the old version of Lime Rock Park. It's a shame that in the new verssion you cant access it. If you want a skid pad, there is one is the Blackwood (I think its called) mod.

@nooch8692 u got a link to blackwood, Is it the full track or just the race track

@@streebadrift5059 It's the track from Live For Speed. There are multiple layouts steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121171862

There is another larer skid pad too steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898032124
