Thanks Gonzo.

How did the Alfa drive?
It handles and drives pretty well. Its been lowered ~2" and all of the rubber bushings replaced with either urethane or spherical joints. It's also got Koni adjustable coil over shocks all around (well, just the shocks in front because it has torsion bars on the front). We have installed a big sway bar in front and a track bar setup in the rear. We have a cage for it but we removed it because we have been driving it around on the street and we don't have the proper TUV papers for the cage. That could be problematic if we ever got stopped by the polezei. It also has some big brakes. the engine is stock except for a new mass flow sensor and ECU (a custom made FADEC). It doesn't have a lot of power and will only pull about 160kph on the long uphill section at the very north end of the track. It can get up to about 200kph on the flat if you have some room. It's also got some Yokohama semi-slicks on Campi rims (from a Lancia Delta Integrale) for wheels and tires. We take those off for street driving.

We're planning on stopping by Zolder for another open track day with it on Wednesday before we head back home.

Regards,
Ron
