Tarmac Rally Stratos Build begins

Main Reason for side droughts was the simple fact that I've got some here and got a lot of jets etc (and experience) from the 105, also liked the idea of the longer runners. Agree that access to the plugs would be an issue, however with just a set of throttle bodies, rather than a complete carbie, it may be possible to just remove the airbox to gain plug/coil access. having said that, just pulling the Throttle bodies off would be nothing compared to having to ensure each inlet valve is closed before removing/installing the plug (and then properly indexing it) like we have to do on the 2L!

Still up the front of the car, got a couple more bits and pieces sorted, starting to run out of space already!

thanks, yea chunky little cage, all the bars are very short which is great for stiffness and weight, the rules dictate a very substantial cage for tarmac rallying so every bar I added was mandatory with the exception of the small brace bar between the two vertical windscreen pillars and the front leg that connects to the chassis.

I though a 105 alfa coupe was a tight fit for a cage!, but this was a real challenge, particularly with the fiberglass vs welding factor
