Sprint GTV (Fast Road)
Our Swiss customer brought us a recently bought standard Sprint GTV which was mechanically & electrically showing its age and asked us to make a full mechanical renovation and upgrade to the car to make it a suitable European touring and Alpine pass fun car whilst keeping the car looking standard and original on the outside. Our build specification was as follows:-
- Original matching numbers engine fully rebuilt to 165BHP specs with overbore forged pistons, steel rods, ported & polished big valve head, original DCOE 27 carbs bored out to match, lightweight flywheel, windage tray, high capacity oil pump
- Gearbox fully rebuilt with our competition quality components
- Axle fully rebuilt and uprated with our fast road LSD and race quality halfshafts
- Brakes fully rebuilt, 4-pot front brake & braided hoses upgrade
- Alfaholics Stage 3 fast road suspension package
- Alfaholics GTA-R PCB & wiring loom package
- Alfaholics aluminium radiator with integrated oil cooler brackets & electric fan
- Alfaholics s/s sports exhaust with tubular manifolds
- New Alfaholics steering box with billet casing
- Alfaholics 5.5×15″ magnesium TZ wheels with original S1 hubcaps
The resulting car was really fantastic, a visually understated yet incredibly capable and agile fast road car, certainly one of our favourite builds!
