Thx!

Hi all I'm introducing in this thread my race GTV wich I build as far as I (IT Guy) can by my self. As I work on it for quite some years I wont post all the details since beginning here. If you want to see details, just ask or do a quick search on its Facebook page facebook.com/gtv3l Few informations: Hood and bodywork is gfk Extra wide front and rear (295) Yokohama semislicks No A/C and no fan inside all useless stuff is removed ( even radio and so on) The engine is for the moment more or less stock , just a few improvements (because of huge costs of testing to get this for the street in our country) ( but the f430 TB ist allready in my garage ) At the moment im working on a new highflow stainless steal cat and of course further weightreduction (like carbon dashboard, lexan windows, carbon doors...) important to know, this is a street legal track car this makes all a bit more difficult. I'm interested to hear if you like it even if it has just a few similarities with the original model? So here relatively new pictures:

Survived the first trackday with just a melted Shiftercable housing Wow its so good to drive. I am very satisfied. works all very good was totally worth the extensive work Sounds absolute brutal and pure. I raced it hard over curbs and it held. unfortunatelly my gopro mic was not able to record that loud sound, between entering and exiting the track it recorded no sound^^

Living the dream

Yes its ready to race. Just waiting on the trackday

It changed even more. I decided to build it completely for the track Catless , no headlights , no stress with testing parts for the street. Just racing and having fun And later I go for the big boost

Done

For shure the widest GTVs in the world

supercool!!!!

thx!

It runs, absolutelly brutal and amazing:

absolut! hey good news. this saturday it startet first try all soldering was perfect.

spal is super durable, since I have that fan I never needed to check the coolingsystem stuff again it just works have a look at this, I gave the ECU a new home. I soldered alot hours ^^' This also corrected the problem of the relays finally ( connectors corroded few years ago ) It really is like Alfa would have planed it originally for midengine ^^' also the timing belt is now easily accessable ^^ just super now putting on the auxillary belt (or so) fill up all fluids, mount battery and pray to god, then turn the key

absolut correct I have a big fan from Spal (bought on ebay) which is as high as the cooler. I bought an aluminium cooler for a alfa 155. Perfect fitmet. But there is also this solution: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32970150067.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.17472e0eSpbR7D should alswo work fine

Carbon fiber

also incredible much work :S but it will be the ultimate GTV. I even mounted the alternator in front of the engine to get best weight distribution

the package ist finished and ready to go finally in. will be a lot fun reconnecting all pipes hoses and wires ^^'

btw. the engine is in

no, mid engine rwd is best Physical Traction with the less as possible parts, especially rotating parts. The less parts, the cheaper when it comes for upgrades Someday driveshafts will be from carbon fiber and alloy in this car

Some pictures form last trackday.

A Nice shot from driving it hard through the alps of Switzerland

The beast runs and drives all is comming together Carbon dash, carbon seat struts I soldered the gas pedal connector for more stability At the moment I am building a diffusor. The Quaife Diff arrived, this will be mounted with a solid flywheel and a upgrade clutch. Just a few small things and its ready to hit the road

hehe what a coincidence, I did the installation with a friend and in the brake between cutting and glueing we whatched that movie and laught about the same scene^^ I am pretty shure this will happen ^^' with much carbon fiber sparks flying around

Here some news. the CF floor is now finished. even when the ultra glue of death was wet it was possible to fully stand on the floor. it actually moved less than the steel one. Now its fully cured. I didn't think that the original floor would be just 1.5-2mm. I could have made the cf one slightly thinner. But anyway its not just weightreduction its also a gain of stiffnes The actual numbers are 6.5kg stock floor 4.6kg cf floor ( I thought it should be just 1.3kg each, but it seams I made more layers in the 45° angle than I planned to do. 0.3kg Super duper Epoxy glue 1.5kg saved ^^' but here we need to add also the seat mountings, wich will go CF of course. this save additional 1kg I think. Ready for the next weight reduction mod ( on some blueprints I saw there is a thick metal under the shifter. This has also found its way to my list also the steel handbrake ) 18VID_78190406_054708_997.mp4

hehe yes it would be possible get to the level of the One:1 but of course it would be called UNO:1 The Turbo is capable of 1000hp and its not far from that weight but first I have to win in the lottery ^^'
