    Yea chin spoiler survived no problem, couple of scrapes, but it was always going to be a bit of a consumable.

    We are running 205/55 R16 Dunlop DZO3G softs and have a 215/50 R16 mediums for the rear for longer stages
    Awsome tyres

    It has inspired me enough to stay with the standard plenum and and maf setup etc.
    Beautiful engineering though

    Brilliant work as ever - thanks for producing these videos!

    You are dead right about the PITA it is to balance 6 ITBs. Mine caused me no end of issues but got there eventually. I'm lucky that I have a DBW throttle and use that to control idle, so no need for all the vacuum lines on mine. Seems to work well though.

    And I also noticed your new safety beer of choice appears to be VB.

    Dunno about the Alfa ITB setup, but the ecu on my Manta V6 engine (with plenum) just uses ignition for idle control, so no vacuum lines and no idle valve.
    Makes it a little lumpy with some rise-and-fall in the revs, but seems to work well enough in that case.
